Another thing the panelist seems to be very ignorant of is that their are white Jamaicans and Asian Jamaicans it's a multi cultural island just like many Caribbean countries. I am also confused as to why the panelist would think he chosed to be a Jamican probaby he didn't know his backstory but I am positive a short profile would have been given. Why weren't there actual cultural appropriators on the show. You cant appropriate a culture that you grew up in.

We’re not talking about voluntary servitude as an indentured servant to pay off debt, pay for the opportunity to leave ones country for chance at greater opportunities latter. The wealthy Scottish and British land owners (of which my white Scottish wealthy great grandfather was one) still maintain those holdings today. As do the generational wealth and greater opportunities allowed indentured servants once their time contracted was over vs actual property (Black Slaves sold into this by slave traders for profit in Africa to Europeans). You surely do NOT see a plethora of Black owned gold and fine jewelry stores which are primarily owned by Indians. The Chinese own most everything else in the free market of business, and the whites still are holding onto the wealth and land assets they acquired on the backs of black slaves. The gaslighting of acting like the majority population of Black descendants of Jamaican slavery have the same assets and businesses and access to capital that people who were not considered and treated property and denied opportunities as such is supreme gaslighting. That’s why you have Jamaicans bleaching and singing about Brownins to separate themselves from their surroundings. Yes the government is corrupt...but the government itself has had mostly non Black heads. This whole out of one many front is a lie to pretend the blatant colorism and classism and asset building opportunities aren’t distributed largely along racial lines.

I think this white Jamaican guy turning up makes them feel uncomfortable about their own identity and lack of connection to a heritage they have claimed all their life. Because, correct me if I'm wrong, but Jamaica has a lot of white, Indian, Chinese etc. minority groups. The vast majority of the population is black of course, but it's a multi-ethnic society like most of the Caribbean.

Good point. Probably why he's so defensive about the concept of a white Jamaican.

Imagine being asked "when did you DECIDE to IDENTIFY as Jamaican" like he just woke up one day and decided where he was gonna be from. In that case, you could ask black Jamaicans the same thing because technically they're of African descent - I doubt it would go down too well in that situation though.

Most people aren't this ignorant, it's a shame they have a platform to do this to people like white yardie. The only people they embarrassed are themselves. They think all three, Nationality, Ethnicity and Race are the same thing. White yardie is Jamaican in nationality not Ethnic background and he never claimed to be anything he wasn't, any ethnicity can be of Jamaican nationality, it all just depends on where you grow up. Race plays no part in your nationality or the culture you grow up in. Seems they only know how to identify with Jamaica through their race and not through the actual culture itself which i find sad because the culture extends far beyond race and real Jamaicans know that.

Yeah they seemed to take his statement that he wasn’t born in Jamaica and ran with it like that somehow that doesn’t make him Jamaican I wasn’t born in PR, but I was born to Puerto Rican parents, raised in a Puerto Rican family, and grew up, well, Puerto Rican lmao. We went back to the island every year to see family. I lived mostly on the mainland so my experiences are different from my cousins that never left the island, so I know I don’t know 100% everything when it comes to living there long term, but that’s what empathy and solidarity is for. And no one on the island has ever questioned me being Puerto Rican 😂 the idea is absurd Like, I can somewhat understand the British Jamaicans discomfort because they probably, as 2nd and 3rd gens, feel a connection to Jamaica and DO have heritage, and then this man is breaking their own sense of identity and worldview. But to question someone RAISED there? “When did you decide to identify” bruh he lived there is whole life. See him as “adopted” into jamaican culture if you have to (even if it’s not the right way to think) but dude is Jamaican straight up

Your post does not make any sense here. So many people misconstrue the term racism and it needs to stop. Racism is essentially belittling, demeaning and showing hate towards one's race. Yes black people can be racist, but these black people were clearly not racist. How common is it for a white person to be both heavily immersed in Jamaican culture and communicate in a Jamaican accent? These people were really curious, hence why they asked questions to be better educated. We as a society should be able to ask questions rather than assume and dispel fraudulent information about others.

⁠​⁠First and foremost the definition of racism, according to Oxford: “prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized.” Anyway, go to the 0:40 and listen to where the man questions his authenticity. Jamaica, like any other island, is a melting pot. For a person to question that, according toOxford the definition- is racism. He’s a minority in Jamaica and they’re pressing him with prejudice allegations based on his skin tone. You’re solidifying my comment by saying, “Yes, black people can be racist.” You can’t say my post doesn’t make sense and then agree with me. Racism isn’t exclusive to any particular group… Look at Dominicans and Haitians right now. You’re right, they should ask questions WITHOUT involving prejudices based on skin color.

As someone who was born in the UK, went to school in JA for 4 yrs from the age of 14, and has been in the UK permanently since, I think that racism has been so entrenched in the UK/black British psyche that observing White Yardie is very difficult in terms of trust. On the other hand, the school I attended consisted of white kids (born in JA) as well as black. Everyone is accepted there as 'out of many one people'. Depending on the religion you are part of, colour and variation of each other's hue is a thing of beauty and highlights the Creator's depth of unfathomable character. You only need to take a peak at the rest of the animal kingdom.

He grew up in Jamaica, from three months of age, and he has a Jamaican passport. His WHOLE life has been based in Jamaica, he's not putting on an accent or pretending to be Jamaican he's legit! So what makes it so difficult for this panel to understand? If an American is born overseas to American parents, due to them being on holiday for example, that person would still consider themselves to be American without a doubt.

The fact that in 2021 people are still not able to grasp the difference between ETHNICITY. And NATIONALITY is honestly mind blowing. Stop making jamaica an ethnicity there is a difference. Big up to you for conducting yourself in a professional manner 🤝

I am so confused, I wonder if the panel has seen any part of Jamaica outside the tourist cities? "When did you decide to be Jamaican?". Born to Jamaican parentage and growing up there isn't enough? My family is Jamaican (St Ann and St Elizabeth). We have every colour of skin from white blonde and blue eyed to brown eyes and chocolate skin, all Jamaican with a lineage that has been traced back 100s of years. We are all proud of our heritage as Jamaicans. For some panel members to equate 'blackness' to 'Jamaican' is not only reductive and harmful , but sadly also means an opportunity to educate people about the rich culture and heritage that Jamaica has was missed. Perhaps spend some time away from the resort towns and cities and see what the country is actually about. What do they think the national motto means? Well done White Yardie.

This is honestly some of the most embarrassing shit I've had to experience before. I apologize for the unexcusable condescending and disrespectful way some of these ignorant individuals were addressing you. I know I shouldn't feel represented by any of them based on the simple fact that we share black skin but I still would like to say that this whole panel was some unnecessary shit. I know what it feel like to be treated like a novelty and I have learned to take it it stride. I rarely get to see it from this perspective though and it is infuriating

great response though, cuz. Glad to see people talking sense. I'm a brown man and have met numerous white skinned folk raised in India. To question their culture, purely because I'm of brown skin, would be a downright insult.

This conversation is very cringe but I wouldn’t be surprised if a couple of the panelists aren’t playing the heel to make the discussion more interesting and productive.

Don't apologise. It's not your fault, your skin colour doesn't mean you have a connection to these people. Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise.

@@comedicsociopathy Agreed. Behavior is (mostly) not genetic. And honestly if the commentor is from the US he's probably closer genetically to many white Americans than these folks across the pond

This is why us Jamaicans will never be able to rally behind Others outside our culture. Because we dont have the racial lens others see the world through. We are literally one family here, no one grows up being taught that the are black or white here and that we should think differently of each others. We dont have racial slurs or demeaning ways to refer to each other skin cause that would be stupid because any family will be a melting pot of different ethnic background. We are just jamaicans nothing more nothing less. More while it better people just shut up if they dont understand another person culture. Man prob never one day think bout the difference between black and white until he met these bigots.

The most astonishing thing here is that when it comes to the immigrants in Britain these exact same people would say it's deeply racist to question their Britishness.

It kind of paints the black community in a bad light having to have these discussions. There is a white guy who was in a similar situation with the Samoan community. He’s a bit of a social media star for being able to speak Samoan. I don’t ever recall anybody in the pacific community asking him these question. There a Māori rock band where the members are so fair skinned but their Māori they even sing in Te Reo nobody questions them. It seems only the black community have the problem with other people embracing their culture. Only to complain about things like being snubbed at award shows, or calling artists like Bruno Mara culture vultures. Only for Bruno Mara to be Puerto Rican and a good portion of the black community find Puerto Ricans to be black anyway. It feels like the community questioning him is trying to have it both ways.
