Asian/West Indian, Take a look! Options

[QSC]

Since I am the only West Indian on Asiafinest, I figured you may have never seen an Asian girl that was born in the West Indies.

She is the winner of a the American television show entitled Project Runway.

Anya Ayoung-Chee's heritage is Chinese but she's Trinidadian.

Trinidad and Tobago have had two Miss Universe winners: 1977 and 1998). Ayoung-Chee is the second title holder in the franchise's 44-year history to be of Chinese descent, the first being Stephanie Lee Pack in 1974.

Chinese immigrants in the West Indies were mainly brought as alternative slaves because there were a shortage of African slaves.

Chinese Trinidadian and Tobagonian (sometimes Sino-Chinese Trinidadian and Tobagonian) are Trinidadians and Tobagonians of Chinese descent. The group includes people from China and Overseas Chinese who have immigrated to Trinidad and Tobago and their descendants, including those who have emigrated to other countries (especially the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, but also to other countries including China). The term is usually applied both to people of mixed and unmixed Chinese ancestry, although the former usually appear as mixed race in census figures. Chinese settlement began in 1806. Between 1853 and 1866 2,645 Chinese immigrants arrived in Trinidad as indentured labour for the sugar and cacao plantations. Immigration peaked in the first half of the twentieth century, but was sharply curtailed after the Chinese Revolution in 1949. After peaking at 8,361 in 1960, the (unmixed) Chinese population in Trinidad declined to 3,800 in 2000.

No you are wrong, they went there on their own, NOT AS SLAVES

yes they went to work on plantations but on their own free will
