Ms Chin: fact CK ya do pls tell me who were Jimmy Cliff's road manager and who was Bob Marley's road manager? I wish the world could find this more credible had you come with this information earlier in light of all the things about the black against Chinese and you know the other way around. Hopefully we both know this is not a true thing it's just propaganda. So I want to make sure you're coming with the realness. She's educating the people within her own culture about reggae music more appropriation of our culture. Such a sad thing going on around the world. They won't let us be us, and I'm not apologizing for their fear Factor. I too am afro Asian Hispanic and all the rest of them mixed in. So I and very skeptical about this coming out 5 days ago not sure when it was recorded because that information is not here. However had this been recorded 5 days ago what took her so long to come forward with this? Whichever this flips to I appreciate at least you took the time for some accuracies. My people already know about all this so she's acclimating her people another form of appropriation because you already see the run over r&b and all the rest of the musical genres with this BTS by transsexual whatever it is band. Good for them they got over but I think this is on the verge of crossing the line. You say we hate you but you picture us with monkeys next to our photos, you say we randomly mow you down and hate you and all that but you have yet to bring a suspect and don't you know that there's a lot of dark colored people in this world that aren't necessarily African or African-American so there goes your stereotypes right out the door. I think Mr B's turning in his grave!yourr music?
Just like Miss KK or vice president would say I'm a Indian Jamaican nah baby you still Jamaican see they're trying to straddle the fence to find out whichever fits them. That's really concerning.
@@fatimaaskhkir6847 The true beauty of this story is that she is a Jamaican born Chinese, she was born and raised in Jamaica, the Jamaican people treated her as expected a Jamaican citizen, the love she got from Jamaica is shown when even having to leave home country, she dedicated her life promoting the country she loved and grew up in. If she had been born in Britain or in United States, she likely to have been spat at, bullied and beaten...
loads of Jamaican artists do not like VP and how the have conducted themselvs... I don't know the ins and outs but ricky trooper has alot to say. along with loads of dancehall tunes and lyrics cussing VP
Thanks for the explanation. While watching a friend asked What the 'VP' stood for? I had to admit that I didn't know. I just knew it as 'VP Records'. I never tried to find out, what the initials were, after all these years! I was a Able to tell the person what the initials stood for, from your explanation!

Thats how it is for my aunt. I'm Jamaican and it blows peoples minds when my white aunt (by blood) visits. Hearing a white lady talk like a straight up Rasta takes some getting used to for people.
Lollllsss she definitely looks Caribbean to me. Jusy how she presents herself and her posture. I think americans need to stop looking at Caribbean and thinking we are all black. We are multicultural and we are one people.
You’re not Chinese Jamaican white Jamaican or black Jamaican you’re just Jamaican. Being a Jamaican it came as shock to me when I moved to the us everyone has these subcategories. Outside of the us they refer to everyone has Americans wish people here would do the same and treat each other with love and respect.
Nonsense! Jamaican is not an ETHNICITY. It is a nationality. You have Jamaicans of different ethnicities, with the overwhelming majority being of African descent. It is absolutely right that people should celebrate and be proud of their own ethnic identity!
What is there to be proud of your ethnic identity? Its just generic lottery. You should be proud of your own achievements not of your race or your country which all happens by accident.
@@tylerdavidson2400 Accident of birth or not... It is what you are. I have an identity and rich culture of which I am immensely proud. It defines me as a human being. What I do as a human being is an individual matter but my ethnic and cultural identity is what I have in common with other people like me. It's obviously not important to you and no doubt you have your reasons, but be under no illusion, that for many (if not most people) ethnic identity is a matter of pride in a way that mere nationality can never replace.
@@Africa1000 Jamaican is not an ethnicity. We do not recognize it as such but it is an identity that is shared with over 2.7 million people. I am Jamaican and I understood what the commenter was saying. In Jamaica, we recognize people of different ethnicities. That is a given but when we refer to ourselves and others, being Jamaican - we usually dont add ethnicity to it. So I am Jamaican. I recognize other Jamaicans when I hear them speak or sometimes there is something cultural that help me to spot a fellow Jamaicans. So it would be odd to us to refer to someone as Asian Jamaican or Afro-Jamaican. It is not something we do in our culture.
This is literally not what the motto stands for and yes Jamaicans would assume because you hardly ever meet Chinese people who speak with the accent or mix with blacks here.

I'm so happy to see and hear Ms. Patricia on You Tube giving some truth about herself and Jamaican music. I first met her in 1968 at Randy's music in KIngston, where she became one of my favourite people. She was always the nicest of people, and although always busy, never failed to answer my questions.(I was about 12 years old) I grew to appreciate and admire both her and her husband as well as many of their staff and visitors. Many of their visitors were later famous musicians like Peter Tosh, Leroy Sibbles, URoy, and many others. It was always fun to talk to them(the musicians and the Chins) as a youth and get to know more of the music business. Around that time I started attending Kingston College, where her son Clive, and a young Agustus Pablo also attended. One of my most notable purchases at Randy's was the album Stand by Sly and The Family Stone. My record collection ( when I was in Jamaica ) numbered in the thousands and encompassed almost every style of music I could imagine and most of it came from Randy's. The Wailing Wailers, Marty Robbins, The Heptones, Gaylads, Segovia,Ken Boothe, The Beatles, Patsy Cline, among others. The good thing about Randy's especially on a Saturday aftternoon was that most times you could meet a( later) famous musician there. The stories I could tell. I have to thank The Chin's specifically Patricia for her kindness and patience with me over the years as a teenager. I last saw her at the VP store in Jamaica New York a few years back, and her son Clive Chin at a showing of the Skatalittes movie at Lincoln Center a few years back I Thank Patricia Chin .
Wow. As a younger Jamaican I'm sad to say I didn't know about this lady til now and how she played a role in reggae. Thanks miss chin. That pic of young Bob caught me off guard lol
Bring out more content, the media is trying to separate races, Jamaicans don't see her as Asian...when you respect culture, you get honored, when you disrespect culture you'll just be forgotten like how DJT is slowly disappearing
@@milkandspice1074 Oh, I get it. They're trying to say that she's still Jamaican and part of Jamaican culture. My mistake. I misunderstood and thought it was one of those annoying "I don't see color" comments.
Was visiting Jamaica in '73 & stayed in a hut in Nigril. I went to the local parties & danced to the music off reggae. Fell in love with ur country & the Rastafarians. I will always hold those memories near & dear. Thank u Ms Pat for ur love..💕💕💕
I love all of the comments from Jamaicans here - just show you how big their hearts are. Miss Pat Chin is like their auntie and they are proud that she is a Jamaican like them.
@@qtpie488 actually no I don't know? U talk as if I should know? If it's because of a large population of Jamaicans living there, then I'm happily surprised n very impressed! So enlighten me please!
I LOVE REGGAE! Reggae influenced our culture so much that we branched off this genre and make what we call "Island Reggae". Music from the pacific islands.
Merenge and salsa have a definite “reggae” kind of jive... African influence as well... Happy music... that makes you vibrate from the inside out! “... of melodies pure and true...” ✌️❤️🇯🇲
That actually explains a lot! I grew up in Hawaii and I remember a lot of the music on the radio had a similar feel. I never made the connection before, but that's awesome!
Thank you Ms. Chin for bringing this music to the world! I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed Reggae over the years, and I have you to thank. God bless!
I AM JAMAICAN. We Dont have race on our i.d. Card. We are ALLL JAMAICANS! Stop the nonsense. She is just a wonderful Jamaican woman and we are grateful to have her.
I had an elderly Jamaican American professor years ago who shared that his best childhood friend as a kid was a Chinese Jamaican girl that was the first time I learned of an Asian Jamaican community. What a great life story -and what wonderful music to spread in the world!
The British Empire, after the end of slavery had people from all over the world moving to the Caribbean, my grandparents included. Out of many, one people.
@Brenda Sunshine Her accent. You don't hear it?? Its not thick but absolutely there. Once a Jamaican moves from Jamaica to America people can't understand the thick accent. So when this lady or my mother or father talk to anyone in America that is not Jamaican then they gotta turn their accent off as best as they can. So basically if you can't hear her accent, then the fact that she suppressed her accent enough to the point that you can't hear it means she was successful at suppressing her accent enough so that you could understand her. Soo...for that...your welcome. You understood her. She only had to turn off a huge part of her culture (speaking normally and comfortably without judgement) in order to do so. Cause once the cameras turn off, Once my mother hangs up the phone, once my father stops talking to his boss, the accent comes back out in full force. My fathers is really really thick. My mothers....not so much. Nobody would understand them otherwise. Hence the reason they have to turn the accent off for people. When I first moved here people would ask me if I could speak English. I was speaking English. But my accent was so thick. I was 6 years old getting told to learn English before coming to an English speaking country....by my teacher amongst others. I was speaking English. I just could not understand why this was happening. I had to learn to tone it down. It took a lot of years, bullying and depression to get to a point where I could actually talk to people and they understand me. So could we give her a break because changing your vernacular is very difficult. Like....its hard to change how you talk.
@@thatgirl1704 In Jamaica , we refer to all Jamaicans as just Jamaican. When we hear the hyphen it is like it is to lessen who they are. Our Motto : out of many ONE PEOPLE . We emphasis the ONE people part. ....However if you move to Jamaica tomorrow and are Asian, , we will call you Asian because you don't have the legacy to represent the motto . If you talk about caste system that 's a whole different story. I hope this helps.
@@AlliDell Ik that’s what we call them. That’s their nationality but is doesn’t change the race behind it. Jamaica is a Black Country. The motto refers more to culture than the ppl for that reason. When you think of Jamaicans, white and Asian people are the last to come to mind. Black people being upset that others refer to her as Asian Jamaican is just as weird as being offended with calling someone Afro/African American. That’s what they are the race doesn’t change a thing😊.
Incredible woman❤ I'm loving these i feel inspired She's making a difference in culture. We all are one and equal. No one is higher then the other. When we don't have houses, cars, internet we the ppl are all equal to eacher. JUST THINKING OUT THE 📦
Real music man! My dad was a real Jamaican reggae lover! "Big Bob Marley fan to the heart!" Thru him in the early 80's Music became second nature to me in the Island. 🇵🇷 🇯🇲.... Real love✌💯✊🏽✊🏽
Glad this is getting attention. In my time in America I’ve noticed Americans think all Jamaicans are black. WE JAMAICANS DONT DIFFERENTIATE BASED ON RACE. If you’re Jamaican you’re Jamaican. It’s really as simple as that for us 🤷🏾♀️ unlike America, Jamaica takes its motto of “out of many, one people” seriously. MUCH RESPECT MS PAT 👊🏾
If you are that stupid to think that Jamaicans don't differentiate on race then you dont know Jamaica or its history. The vast majority of Jamaicans are of African descent and most are proud of that. You are deeply confused between nationality and ethnicity!
Most Jamaicans ARE black. I understand the covid situation has put a spotlight in unfair treatment of Asian groups but we don’t have to pretend something is more than what it is. I feel like this comment section is pandering given what I mentioned above. Jamaicans do make reference to racial differences (ie/ browning, coolie, chiney...). Most of Jamaican culture constitute African culture remixed. Asian Jamaicans are an extreme minority but constitute as mainly as the business class of the island (ie/ shop owners, etc...). The relationship between Chinese and the larger black Jamaican community hasn’t always been smooth sailing. Are there personalities who have broken the mould, but it doesn’t change the historical reality. Reggae would have still been reggae without Mrs. Pat Chin because Afro derives music is popular everywhere (soca, reggae, dancehall, rnb, blue, rock n roll, Afrobeats, hip hop, merengue, bachata, salsa, samba, kizomba, Kompa, etc....)
@@livingfinance This is a brilliant, clear and well thought out comment. What you say cannot be argued against. If anyone tries to contradict what you are saying then one can only assume that they have an agenda.
@@livingfinance girl thank you. They’re running up and down this comment section coming at everyone who calls her Asian Jamaican😭throwing that motto around like dirt and catching a fit🤣
But if you know, then you’d know there was Asians from nearly every background living in the Caribbean for generations 🤷♀️ it’s not that surprising to me but I commend her
@Messy Caribbean constitutes of many islands with their own respective ethnic demographics due to historical migrations. Just because two islands are part of the caribbean does not mean they are the same culturally or demographically. This isn't a story about the islands where indians and chinese are a majority this is a story about an island where black jamaicans form the vast part of the culture and demographic and a jamaican woman of indian/chinese descent woman had in distributing the art form. it's commendable and she deserve recognition but the excessive accolades of many indians and chinese in jamaica is exaggerated and misplaced because some people have an agenda.
@@suhocidal The East Indians have a slight numerical advantage in Trinidad and a larger advantage in Guyana. Though the largest groups there are certainly other groups of people in those countries.
@@tooprivate1061 you hear her talking about how her culture is Jamaican? Exactly. Race wasnt a thing until a few hundred years ago. You clearly arent Jamaican and don't or can't understand.
only insulting to insecure small minded people...she is Chinese/Asian Jamaican and whats the big deal to call someone what they are... Black British, African American, Irish American, Asian Jamaican and what ?
M'am, on my behalf, thank you so.much for reggae, it helped build my own personality in a hard time, specially Bob that was the most precious for me❤️❤️.
She did not create reggae music. Thank the creators which are the artists. She was a distributor and promoted the music, but wasn't the only one at all.
It's more than that. Most people have very ignorant perceptions of central and south America even though information is literally 1 google search away.
Yeah chinese people are the ones that toke all the work away from jamaicans and that resulted in them being poor. thats what happens when you praise globalists.
Why is no one acknowledge that she's the founding father/mother of Reggae Music and not her skin color. Give the lady her flower. Much love to you miss Pat and thank you.

I grew to appreciate and admire both her and her husband as well as many of their staff and visitors. Many of their visitors were later famous musicians like Peter Tosh,
Leroy Sibbles, URoy, and many others. It was always fun to talk to them(the musicians and the Chins) as a youth and get to know more of the music business.
Around that time I started attending Kingston College, where her son Clive, and a young
Agustus Pablo also attended.
One of my most notable purchases at Randy's was the album Stand by Sly and The Family Stone. My record collection ( when I was in Jamaica ) numbered in the thousands
and encompassed almost every style of music I could imagine and most of it came from Randy's. The Wailing Wailers, Marty Robbins, The Heptones, Gaylads, Segovia,Ken Boothe, The Beatles, Patsy Cline, among others. The good thing about Randy's especially on a Saturday aftternoon was that most times you could meet a( later) famous musician there.
The stories I could tell. I have to thank The Chin's specifically Patricia for her kindness and patience with me over the years as a teenager.
I last saw her at the VP store in Jamaica New York a few years back, and her son
Clive Chin at a showing of the Skatalittes movie at Lincoln Center a few years back
I Thank Patricia Chin .
Wow. As a younger Jamaican I'm sad to say I didn't know about this lady til now and how she played a role in reggae. Thanks miss chin. That pic of young Bob caught me off guard lol
Big up yuh self Miss Pat, doing us proud.
Jamaican and Jamaican no differential out of many is 1!!!! Big up miss Chin
Much love Ms Pat from one Caribbean Queen to Another...never forget your roots! 💕🌹👍👏❤💌
She's so inspiring, never stop trying to accomplish your dreams yall 💗💗
She’s so beautiful !
This is the spot in Jamaica queens. Big up Jamaica Ave
Miss Pat breaking boundaries in so many ways and bringing sweet reggae music to the forefront, thanks be to her. 🔴🟡🟢🦸🏻♀️
One Jamaican universal love miss Pat .......Bless up !!!!
Very interesting and intriguing story
Is a movie in the making? Wow what a beautiful enduring story of pride for one's culture!
Bring out more content, the media is trying to separate races, Jamaicans don't see her as Asian...when you respect culture, you get honored, when you disrespect culture you'll just be forgotten like how DJT is slowly disappearing
People are diverse, so wouldn't it be better to see, accept, and celebrate people's differences instead of ignoring them?
@@gav1233 I don't think you got the point and no, it is not necessarily better.
@@gav1233 we can easily see what she looks like. Her nation and people are jamaican.
DJT will always be in your head.
TDS is real
@@milkandspice1074 Oh, I get it. They're trying to say that she's still Jamaican and part of Jamaican culture.
My mistake. I misunderstood and thought it was one of those annoying "I don't see color" comments.
I'm so Blessed to learn the TRUTH .... Much RESPECT to MISS PAT ❤️
I love how you can still hear her Jamaican accent even though she has been living in the U.S for so long. Big up Miss Pat 🇯🇲🇯🇲
Was visiting Jamaica in '73 & stayed in a hut in Nigril. I went to the local parties & danced to the music off reggae. Fell in love with ur country & the Rastafarians. I will always hold those memories near & dear. Thank u Ms Pat for ur love..💕💕💕
I love all of the comments from Jamaicans here - just show you how big their hearts are. Miss Pat Chin is like their auntie and they are proud that she is a Jamaican like them.
Big up Miss Pat, I feel proud being a Jamaican 🇯🇲 and i can certainly relate to those times in the 50's and 60's in Jamaica. 👍
This is why I love music so much. It does not discriminate. Will have to learn more of this beautiful lady.
Awwe what a cute old granny, please respect the elder, put yourself in their shoes, we will be like them one day.
BOOP BOOP!!! Ya a chinese jamaican as my mother would say and we love you!!... i love em!
The fact that she moved from Jamaica to America to live in Jamaica, Queens is hilarious
A lot of Jamaicans live in Jamaica, Queens
U can take the girl out of Jamaica but u can't take Jamaica... It's just meant 2 b! Good 4 u the amazing Miss Pat, jump up!
You don't know why it's called Jamaica Queens?
I mean I think there’s a reason it’s called Jamaica Queens right? New York City has many areas that are hubs of specific immigrant groups.
@@qtpie488 actually no I don't know? U talk as if I should know? If it's because of a large population of Jamaicans living there, then I'm happily surprised n very impressed! So enlighten me please!
Thank you Miss Pat! One love❤
I LOVE REGGAE! Reggae influenced our culture so much that we branched off this genre and make what we call "Island Reggae". Music from the pacific islands.
Merenge and salsa have a definite “reggae” kind of jive... African influence as well...
Happy music... that makes you vibrate from the inside out! “... of melodies pure and true...” ✌️❤️🇯🇲
That actually explains a lot! I grew up in Hawaii and I remember a lot of the music on the radio had a similar feel. I never made the connection before, but that's awesome!
And great music it is!!
I knew Bunny Wailer met him at age 16 in 1970s
He and his gf took me all over NYC
It was a blast and they were the sweetest host & hostess
Thank you for enriching my life, Miss Pat. Reggae is such a piece of my soul.
Thank you Ms. Chin for bringing this music to the world! I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed Reggae over the years, and I have you to thank. God bless!
The true depth of Jamaican music and culture is amazing to behold because of people like Miss Chin.
I AM JAMAICAN. We Dont have race on our i.d. Card. We are ALLL JAMAICANS! Stop the nonsense. She is just a wonderful Jamaican woman and we are grateful to have her.
Out of Many One People 🇯🇲
I had an elderly Jamaican American professor years ago who shared that his best childhood friend as a kid was a Chinese Jamaican girl that was the first time I learned of an Asian Jamaican community. What a great life story -and what wonderful music to spread in the world!
She doesn't see herself as Asian jamaican... just Jamaican... American love labels too much. Have a blessed day
The British Empire, after the end of slavery had people from all over the world moving to the Caribbean, my grandparents included. Out of many, one people.
In Jamaica we just call everybody Jamaicans. We dont have a term call Asian Jamaican and those things. Everybody is just straight Jamaican
As a jamaican woman, ill tell you there are many different races as jamaicans.
Looove her! What a fantabulous human being 😁
I can't believe this is the first time I've heard about her! Thank you for this interview! My woman is my new inspiration!
How COOL would that be to meet her in this day, with that Jamaican accent?!😄
@Brenda Sunshine Her accent. You don't hear it?? Its not thick but absolutely there. Once a Jamaican moves from Jamaica to America people can't understand the thick accent. So when this lady or my mother or father talk to anyone in America that is not Jamaican then they gotta turn their accent off as best as they can. So basically if you can't hear her accent, then the fact that she suppressed her accent enough to the point that you can't hear it means she was successful at suppressing her accent enough so that you could understand her. Soo...for that...your welcome. You understood her. She only had to turn off a huge part of her culture (speaking normally and comfortably without judgement) in order to do so. Cause once the cameras turn off, Once my mother hangs up the phone, once my father stops talking to his boss, the accent comes back out in full force. My fathers is really really thick. My mothers....not so much. Nobody would understand them otherwise. Hence the reason they have to turn the accent off for people. When I first moved here people would ask me if I could speak English. I was speaking English. But my accent was so thick. I was 6 years old getting told to learn English before coming to an English speaking country....by my teacher amongst others. I was speaking English. I just could not understand why this was happening. I had to learn to tone it down. It took a lot of years, bullying and depression to get to a point where I could actually talk to people and they understand me. So could we give her a break because changing your vernacular is very difficult. Like....its hard to change how you talk.
@@blackryan5291 I've heard similar stories from Jamaican friends/colleagues
@@blackryan5291 hey Black Ryan 🇯🇲 dont waste u time with jealous brenda ....
Go Ms. Pat love a Asian Jamaican. Never knew they exist. This is dope information. One love we all are one... This is so beautiful💞
Stop. It’s offensive. She’s just Jamaican.
Why do you need specific.We can tell she asian.
@@reneedasilva1153 how is it offensive to call her Asian Jamaican🤨
@@thatgirl1704 In Jamaica , we refer to all Jamaicans as just Jamaican. When we hear the hyphen it is like it is to lessen who they are. Our Motto : out of many ONE PEOPLE . We emphasis the ONE people part. ....However if you move to Jamaica tomorrow and are Asian, , we will call you Asian because you don't have the legacy to represent the motto . If you talk about caste system that 's a whole different story. I hope this helps.
@@AlliDell Ik that’s what we call them. That’s their nationality but is doesn’t change the race behind it. Jamaica is a Black Country. The motto refers more to culture than the ppl for that reason. When you think of Jamaicans, white and Asian people are the last to come to mind. Black people being upset that others refer to her as Asian Jamaican is just as weird as being offended with calling someone Afro/African American. That’s what they are the race doesn’t change a thing😊.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication Mrs Chin to put reggae music on the world stage much appreciated love and respect ✊
🙌🙌🙌MUSIC Doesn't See Color JUST The L❤VE Of MUSIC🎶 Bravo" To This Woman👏👏👏
Incredible woman❤
I'm loving these i feel inspired
She's making a difference in culture.
We all are one and equal.
No one is higher then the other.
When we don't have houses, cars, internet we the ppl are all equal to eacher.
JUST THINKING OUT THE 📦
Real music man! My dad was a real Jamaican reggae lover! "Big Bob Marley fan to the heart!" Thru him in the early 80's Music became second nature to me in the Island. 🇵🇷 🇯🇲.... Real love✌💯✊🏽✊🏽
Glad this is getting attention. In my time in America I’ve noticed Americans think all Jamaicans are black. WE JAMAICANS DONT DIFFERENTIATE BASED ON RACE. If you’re Jamaican you’re Jamaican. It’s really as simple as that for us 🤷🏾♀️ unlike America, Jamaica takes its motto of “out of many, one people” seriously. MUCH RESPECT MS PAT 👊🏾
If you are that stupid to think that Jamaicans don't differentiate on race then you dont know Jamaica or its history. The vast majority of Jamaicans are of African descent and most are proud of that. You are deeply confused between nationality and ethnicity!
Most Jamaicans ARE black. I understand the covid situation has put a spotlight in unfair treatment of Asian groups but we don’t have to pretend something is more than what it is. I feel like this comment section is pandering given what I mentioned above.
Jamaicans do make reference to racial differences (ie/ browning, coolie, chiney...).
Most of Jamaican culture constitute African culture remixed. Asian Jamaicans are an extreme minority but constitute as mainly as the business class of the island (ie/ shop owners, etc...).
The relationship between Chinese and the larger black Jamaican community hasn’t always been smooth sailing.
Are there personalities who have broken the mould, but it doesn’t change the historical reality.
Reggae would have still been reggae without Mrs. Pat Chin because Afro derives music is popular everywhere (soca, reggae, dancehall, rnb, blue, rock n roll, Afrobeats, hip hop, merengue, bachata, salsa, samba, kizomba, Kompa, etc....)
@@livingfinance This is a brilliant, clear and well thought out comment. What you say cannot be argued against. If anyone tries to contradict what you are saying then one can only assume that they have an agenda.
@@livingfinance girl thank you. They’re running up and down this comment section coming at everyone who calls her Asian Jamaican😭throwing that motto around like dirt and catching a fit🤣
The country of origin is your identifier.
One country, out of many ❤️🇯🇲 love this and she is such a kind soul
But if you know, then you’d know there was Asians from nearly every background living in the Caribbean for generations 🤷♀️ it’s not that surprising to me but I commend her
@Messy half of my family is from trinidad and literally there’s more chinese/indian than black ppl there supposedly
@Messy but this doc is about Jamaica not T&T
@Messy Caribbean constitutes of many islands with their own respective ethnic demographics due to historical migrations. Just because two islands are part of the caribbean does not mean they are the same culturally or demographically.
This isn't a story about the islands where indians and chinese are a majority this is a story about an island where black jamaicans form the vast part of the culture and demographic and a jamaican woman of indian/chinese descent woman had in distributing the art form.
it's commendable and she deserve recognition but the excessive accolades of many indians and chinese in jamaica is exaggerated and misplaced because some people have an agenda.
@@livingfinance Where are you from?
@@suhocidal The East Indians have a slight numerical advantage in Trinidad and a larger advantage in Guyana. Though the largest groups there are certainly other groups of people in those countries.
How can it be that this is the first time I’m hearing of this wonderful person? Luv her 💕🤗😄
Big up miss pat..what a great ROLE MODEL for everyone ..
She is dropping a lot of jewels about what music is supposed to be she is amazing
I FEEL SORRY FOR THE .... thumbs down . THERE IS NOTHING TO FEAR ABOUT THE TRUTH
African Americans hate Asians just because, so you know ....
Out of Many one people. Jamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 to the world 🌎
Jamaicans are Jamaicans. To call her Asian and not Jamaican is insulting!
AMEN TO THAT!!!
@@tooprivate1061 you hear her talking about how her culture is Jamaican? Exactly. Race wasnt a thing until a few hundred years ago. You clearly arent Jamaican and don't or can't understand.
only insulting to insecure small minded people...she is Chinese/Asian Jamaican and whats the big deal to call someone what they are... Black British, African American, Irish American, Asian Jamaican and what ?
@@tooprivate1061 race was not a thing until the Spanish Inquisition. Once you know your history, all this other BS will fall away.
@@HAYDENMUSICTV you clearly dont understand Jamaican culture.
M'am, on my behalf, thank you so.much for reggae, it helped build my own personality in a hard time, specially Bob that was the most precious for me❤️❤️.
She did not create reggae music. Thank the creators which are the artists. She was a distributor and promoted the music, but wasn't the only one at all.
"I love Reggae and this sweet wee ladies attitude, Respect Due".
I like she said in Jamaica people use words in the song to tell emotion instead of gun! What a wise delight precious way!
This is not new - my entire family is Ms Pat Chin 😊✊🏽🇯🇲
Tessanne? Are they related?
@@gocedimoski728 I was literally wondering the same thing🤔 I love Tessanne😍
I always love bob Marley and Jamaican music.... soothing as always and always will be
People don't realize that Chinese people have a huge influence in Jamaica.
It's more than that. Most people have very ignorant perceptions of central and south America even though information is literally 1 google search away.
Yeah chinese people are the ones that toke all the work away from jamaicans and that resulted in them being poor. thats what happens when you praise globalists.
Chinese
She is a proud jamaican people
Not chinese

I love that green dress wow 😁
Shouts out to our beautiful Ms.Chin a true Jamaican legend.
Amazing woman. Thanks for spreading our music and our culture
Why is no one acknowledge that she's the founding father/mother of Reggae Music and not her skin color. Give the lady her flower. Much love to you miss Pat and thank you.
