what aload of crap. Dave your agenda is showing , why dont you admit that the chinese in jamaica as well as those in guyana left for economic reasons? The portrait that you are showing of the chinese in jamaica is that of a people with no cuppability in the 65 riots when you know that this is not true.
I had already posted on another thread how the chinese caused the riots and you conveniently forgot to mention that . Why dont you give a background on those riots.

dave6,
you are really making some quantum leaps to False conclusions !
kwami , the recent Chinese circa 1940s were Opportunists :
As a British colony they used Guyana as a transit point to China_Towns :
in north America!
I would suggest likewise in Jamaica.....
ZERO interest in the Caribbean ....never even learned the Language !
Re: racial friction in Jamaica - ketchim - 12-13-2011
From what i see, Chinese assimilated better in Jamaica than Guyana !
they were like a " gated community " in GT. !!

actually i simply captured the conclusions of Jamaicans and presented them. i enjoy the project as a complete work by watching it from start to end.

dave6,
in order to get someone to watch " from start to end "
you must present de 1st coupla minutes without prejudice.
Otherwise , the TV will be turned off OR channel changed !
no charge for this piece of valuable advice :wink:
Re: racial friction in Jamaica - ketchim - 12-13-2011

Chinese used Guyana for personal benefit and posess ZERO Patriotism..
Visa to North America and England was the Objective ...

But NEVER once to my Chinese neighbours..
