    The problem is that a lot of non Jamaican people are desperately trying to dictate to Jamaicans who and what Jamaicans are, and sometimes the obsession is just creepy. Even the American born and raised Jamaicans who are more American in their experience and way thinking try to dictate to Jamaicans who we are or should be.
    They experience racism in America so they also become racist and jump at every opportunity to make non black or mixed race Jamaican feel not accepted, because that how they are treat in the country they were born and raised in. So are not even Jamaican a lot of the time, just African American. I've even seen Africans all over the Internet trying to bully black Jamaicans into saying we're African.
    How can you get that upset about a Jamaicans saying we're Jamaican. We are aware that most of us are of African ancestry but we're Jamaicans. And all Jamaicans aren't black just like Americans, Canadians, Brazilians aren't white.

      It shows how the American education system has failed them. Americans are the loudest and most ignorant people in this world and they can't differentiate between race and nationality. I am an indigenous African and I was watching a video about how a certain South African of Indian origin was talking about the patriarchal attitudes there and the black Americans were trolling her and abusing her for speaking about South Africa because she is 'Indian'. This is a woman who's great grandfather was brought to SA as an indentured servant, who doesnt speak hindu/any other indian languages and has no ties to India, yet, in an American's eyes, she isn't African and knows nothing about an African experience because she is ethnically Asian. American ignorance is really baffling. I wonder what they will do when they realise that there's a population of Africans who are ethnically Chinese who have been on the continent since the Ming dynasty 😂

    I have realised that maybe it's because of their system of education but most Americans are ignorant of how diverse the world is. People have been venturing to and settling in so many different places that they are culturally and linguistically immersed. Before slavery, there were Chinese people who settled in East Africa as an example. European exploration/conquests led to interactions of different cultures, Arab and European slave trade displaced millions all over into different territories, colonialism led to the settlement of Europeans and the forced resettlement of Indians all over. The world isn't homogenous. Ethnic identity or race doesn't equate nationality and culture is dynamic.

Just because we come from the same country or just because you stole land in some country doesnt mean you share cultural similarities .like white south africans are basically in a whole different country culture wise so stop this fake unity nonsense we are not united and many places are very much homogenous

    This white Jamaican started working at the job & he & the other black Jamaican were friends instantly. The conversation was that generally, each ethnic group tends to stick together, however that did not readily apply to the Jamaicans, as they were always speaking Patios, saying "my youth", looking out & defending each other. Notably, the black one would take the other into all these black spaces & he fits right in. Interestingly, things they wouldn't say infront of a white person, they would in his presence. They never refer to themselves as black or white, rather, Jamaican!! Quite admirable & somewhat unique!!

    I’m half black, but I have a very fair complication. I’m pretty sure I’ve been asked for my birth certificate, or to prove it more than Obama. It’s extremely frustrating sometimes. When I was younger I would have “concerned citizens” come up to me and ask me “Are you ok/safe, or do you know this man?” As a kid I didn’t understand why? I would be like “Who my dad? Yes, I know him. But I don’t know you and now I’m feeling a bit unsafe.” There are numerous other examples I can throw in involving different forms of racism. Mostly because they think I look like them so I must be like them. So I must also share their same ideology, and then proceed to say some of the most racist things. Over the years I’ve tried to brush it off as ppl can be dumb and they just don’t know better. I feel like I can relate to this. Just don’t worry bout it bro, you know your truth.

      That’s because “American” is just our nationality. Our ethnicity is much more significant to who we are as people. And that goes for anyone, anywhere. I have Northern and Western European ancestry, and a little bit of Native American ancestry. My ancestors were in those places for thousands of years developing their own culture, language, history, and physical features. It wouldn’t make sense for me to identify as simply American along with other Americans of African or Asian descent. Or even other Americans of Southern or Eastern European descent.

      In Ireland, being Irish means growing up in the culture and knowing what it's like to be Irish. So obviously on principle, it can rub people the wrong way hearing an American say they're "Irish", (again, basically just a misunderstanding), but more importantly there's kind of an implication that people who aren't ethnically Irish can't be Irish, which of course is not the case. If you're from Ireland, you're Irish, and if you're from somewhere else, you're not. I think most countries and cultures feel the same way about that, very firmly prioritising culture and lived experience over the concept of ethnic heritage.

    The question is☝🏿What qualifies for someone to be “Of” the land they were born in…? I am a child of the Diaspora so I classify myself as “Afro-Caribbean”, I know my blood goes back to Africa but my mother was born & raised in Jamaica 🇯🇲 while I was born in England and raised back & forth from Yard. (Side bar, my father is Grenadian 🇬🇩 so I’m duel heritage).
    I was raised in a strict traditional Jamaican household by my grandparents and lived back home for a year.
    I would consider myself Yardie coz I am of that blood and raised strictly in that culture despite being 1st generation British 🇬🇧.
    Iv argued with people before who have tried to say that Black people born in the UK are English 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.. I have a problem with this as to be “English” you would have to have blood that derived from Anglo-Saxons & those races of people (those who’s blood is of these lands).
    People will always give pushback on others claims of origin but if at least 3 generations of blood go back to the labs where you identify then I guess that’s what would qualify you to be of “Those People / Land”.
    If my Caribbean wife was pregnant & went into labour on a flight that landed in China where my Afro-Caribbean child was born, would people say that child is Chinese or an Afro-Caribbean born in China? 🇨🇳

    Jewish people from Latin America have a similar experience to White Jamaicans encountering skepticism about authentically being Jamaican from both White Americans and Jamaican-Americans, Jamaican-Canadians etc.
    People born and raised in places like Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Bogota, etc. are usually aware of strong Jewish communities in these places. But non-Latinos in the USA, as well as US-raised Latinos, Mexican-American Chicanos etc. usually can't comprehend that there are Jews from Mexico and Argentina. My ex was Jewish from Mexico, if I told someone she's a Mexican Jew, they'd ask, "So. Mexican father, Jewish mother or the other way around?" or "So she's a Mexican who converted to Judaism?" No, she had Jewish grandparents who immigrated to Mexico from Turkey and Poland before and after WW2. I'll say that, and people say "Oh, not really Mexican then." Well, she has a Mexican passport and speaks Spanish as her first language.
    The current president elect of Mexico has a similar background, but most Americans also don't seem to get the concept of immigrating TO Mexico. They only understand it as a place people immigrate FROM.

    Yeah in Jamaica you don't really get that, that's why you don't speak for other people's culture period. It don't even matter if you are Jamaican, if you weren't born and raised there, you have no right to say somebody else isn't. And that goes for literally any subject, people like to do this with all sorts of crap.

    When people question if I’m really Jamaican because I’m white it’s easy to shut them up with: “who you think colonized the island???”🧐🥴
    And NO, I don’t agree with colonization. If you know your history, you’d KNOW why it’s very logical for there to be white Jamaicans.
    SHOUTOUT to my great-great grandfather who moved to Jamaica from Scotland in the late 1800’s and was one of the first white men to LEGALLY marry a black Jamaican woman and treated her like his equal. No surprise in my family when a few of us popped out paper white. It was just a confirmation that “this one took up after the Preston’s…”
