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.

You are not the only west indian on Af, how can you JUST come on Af and assume sh!t like that? i am west indian too

It's just like retards on here assuming because i am from jamaica then i must be black. As if there are no other ethnic groups in jamaica than blacks. Ignorance seem to be in style.

Possibly because when I made this thread

http://www.asiafinest.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=299804

You never hailed me up???

So don't even try to draw card.

Also everyone in Jamaica is mixed despite the person's outer shell. Why do you think the coat of arms state "Out Of Many One People?"


Nevertheless,

What Parish in Jamaica are you from?

You can't be a mixture.

I take it you were not born in Jamaica?

i was born in Jamaica, you asked me which parish i'm from.

From i was a baby to 7 i was in negril
from 7 to 16 Mandeville
16 to 20 kingston

My heart is in all 3 parishes because i spent a good quality of my life in each. And that’s how i take it.

Unlike Americans who separate themselves by race (ex. African Americans & White Americans, Asian Americans) West Indians (some will say Caribbean) will state Jamaican (Jamaica), Trini (Trinidad), Bajan (Barbados) and, so forth regardless if they resemble African, Asian, Caucasian or Indian. We don't racially divide ourselves like Americans.

Exactly

My dad is british Scandinavian/mom originally from Trinidad(trinidadian indian). I'm born in jamaica, grew up in jamaica, i got jamaican accent, i'm jamaican. I'm not going to say i am indian or white, technically i'm half trini indian/half white but first i'm jamaican.
Since i came on Af some people assume i was indian, i made it clear that i'm not indian and that i'm jamaican, so they assumed that i'm black. Indian is a nationality as far as i'm concerned, i see myself as jamaican first. Go to any jamaican chinese, and they will say they are jamaican, you won't hear them saying they are chinese before they say they are jamaican.

So you were born in Negril.

Bear in mind you stated "mixture of westermorland/manchestor/st catherine" and did not explain how you can be in three different parishes located on different parts of the island... until know.

The confusion that came from other members from Asiafinest is due to not thoroughly explaining to them that there are East Indians in Jamaica that were born in Jamaica.

Upon viewing some of the photos, I would imagine some members never knew Asians were popular in the West Indies. Had I offered Indians as well, they may be shocked to see the wide variety of hues in terms of complexion.

You may not realise it but many are not familiar with the West Indies more so, Jamaica other than what they see on Television. Reggae is very popular in Asia and Jamaican entertainers are 99% black so you cannot blame Asiafinest’s members for assuming you were black when you said you were Jamaican.

So having a little more understanding is in order especially, when you (and I ) are looked upon as tourists, and not natives on Asiafinest. Due keep that in mind.

Cheers!

You know exactly what I mean.

There are certain things that you will not be able to relate to.

It’s not about seniority as a member on Asiafinest. It is more to wards real world experience in a culture that offers different morals and ethics, which you are not familiar with.
