T That was because Blacks were opressed in England at the time and the westindies cricket team shattered the myth of white superiority. 
The westindies team instilled pride in Black people  , a source of hope and possibilities for black people  everywhere

and half of those pickneys named "Rohan" 

Maybe the same can be said of the Indo-Berbicians at that time.  They too felt that they were being oppressed by a black dominated government.
 
So coming out and cheering loudly for the teams from the sub-continent was a way of 'sticking' it to the PNC.  This happened at Bourda also.
Note: this was also happening in England recently.  It even caused an English politican to call for the 'cricket test' to be given  to young British-born offsprings of Asian parents.

[/quote] This is a myth , it is whites that produce most bastards and the bling that you refer to is just a small percentage of black people.
Blacks are just struggling to survive in the face  relentless racism
