[/quote] as usual the chinese thought that they can commit crime against black jamaicans with impunity. What I  remember is that a chinese buisnessman caught a black jamaican policeman with his woman and him and his friends inflicted a severe beating on him . this inflamed the brethren and many chinese buisness wwere burned down.  Similar  cause of the 65 riots
