The problem is that a lot of non Jamaican people are desperately trying to dictate to Jamaicans who and what Jamaicans are, and sometimes the obsession is just creepy. Even the American born and raised Jamaicans who are more American in their experience and way thinking try to dictate to Jamaicans who we are or should be. They experience racism in America so they also become racist and jump at every opportunity to make non black or mixed race Jamaican feel not accepted, because that how they are treat in the country they were born and raised in. So are not even Jamaican a lot of the time, just African American. I've even seen Africans all over the Internet trying to bully black Jamaicans into saying we're African. How can you get that upset about a Jamaicans saying we're Jamaican. We are aware that most of us are of African ancestry but we're Jamaicans. And all Jamaicans aren't black just like Americans, Canadians, Brazilians aren't white.

It shows how the American education system has failed them. Americans are the loudest and most ignorant people in this world and they can't differentiate between race and nationality. I am an indigenous African and I was watching a video about how a certain South African of Indian origin was talking about the patriarchal attitudes there and the black Americans were trolling her and abusing her for speaking about South Africa because she is 'Indian'. This is a woman who's great grandfather was brought to SA as an indentured servant, who doesnt speak hindu/any other indian languages and has no ties to India, yet, in an American's eyes, she isn't African and knows nothing about an African experience because she is ethnically Asian. American ignorance is really baffling. I wonder what they will do when they realise that there's a population of Africans who are ethnically Chinese who have been on the continent since the Ming dynasty 😂

I have realised that maybe it's because of their system of education but most Americans are ignorant of how diverse the world is. People have been venturing to and settling in so many different places that they are culturally and linguistically immersed. Before slavery, there were Chinese people who settled in East Africa as an example. European exploration/conquests led to interactions of different cultures, Arab and European slave trade displaced millions all over into different territories, colonialism led to the settlement of Europeans and the forced resettlement of Indians all over. The world isn't homogenous. Ethnic identity or race doesn't equate nationality and culture is dynamic.

I’m half black, but I have a very fair complication. I’m pretty sure I’ve been asked for my birth certificate, or to prove it more than Obama. It’s extremely frustrating sometimes. When I was younger I would have “concerned citizens” come up to me and ask me “Are you ok/safe, or do you know this man?” As a kid I didn’t understand why? I would be like “Who my dad? Yes, I know him. But I don’t know you and now I’m feeling a bit unsafe.” There are numerous other examples I can throw in involving different forms of racism. Mostly because they think I look like them so I must be like them. So I must also share their same ideology, and then proceed to say some of the most racist things. Over the years I’ve tried to brush it off as ppl can be dumb and they just don’t know better. I feel like I can relate to this. Just don’t worry bout it bro, you know your truth.

That’s because “American” is just our nationality. Our ethnicity is much more significant to who we are as people. And that goes for anyone, anywhere.

@@user-mf2sj7rd6m That's very uniquely American, it makes a lot of people elsewhere pretty uncomfortable to focus on race and heritage in that way (I completely understand why it's the case in America specifically, just letting you know). In Ireland, being Irish means growing up in the culture and knowing what it's like to be Irish. So obviously on principle, it can rub people the wrong way hearing an American say they're "Irish", (again, basically just a misunderstanding), but more importantly there's kind of an implication that people who aren't ethnically Irish can't be Irish, which of course is not the case. If you're from Ireland, you're Irish, and if you're from somewhere else, you're not. I think most countries and cultures feel the same way about that, very firmly prioritising culture and lived experience over the concept of ethnic heritage.

Yeah in Jamaica you don't really get that, that's why you don't speak for other people's culture period. It don't even matter if you are Jamaican, if you weren't born and raised there, you have no right to say somebody else isn't. And that goes for literally any subject, people like to do this with all sorts of crap.

Living in Canada, all my life I get questioned about being mixed when I say I'm of Jamaican heritage, because I'm an Indian and they don't know Indians are also from Jamaica....Out of Many, ONE People

Being born in Jamaica, and having Jamaican citizenship... Just like Elon Musk is born in Africa and has African citizenship. There is an overstanding that the common purveyor of words, spells, will never understand.

Exactly,! If my family moved to Thailand when I was young and gained citizenship. I’d grow up a Afro-Caribbean citizen of Thailand,but that doesn’t mean im connected to the roots,heritage and history of that land. Same analysis applies with people like this.

There’s also plenty of generational white Jamaicans as well we as Jamaicans all originate outside of Jamaica we’re not a monolith. Just as we have tons of new waves of Chinese on the island whose children will be Jamaican. It’s just as we black Jamaicans go back to Africa they’ll consider us Jamaican

I can relate to this I’m 30% Native American but I appear more white so most my life no one believed me. Til I got older and people seen me apart of my tribe and they were like damn you were serious all them years. People honestly just wanna box you in and label you what they see you as. I say fuck them looks ain’t shit it’s about what’s in the inside.

My nickname form an old Jamaican in Brooklyn was Boxer.

It’s amazing how many people get upset and will argue with me about my own country just because I don’t fit their world view.

Jamaica was primarily African and indigenous descent. The Europeans left the island almost immediately after slavery ended but there were very few Whites,Asian and Indian left on the island. It still remained predominantly black until the last 4 decades. With more white Americans and European people moving to the island and gaining citizenship and buying land. So I do believe he is “Jamaican” technically lol

Jamaica was predominantly white county from 1600 to mid 1800s. The cause for the white population that went down was because the white population could not survive on the island. So most moved abroad in 1900s when they got the chance so the white population decreased in the 1800s but the last remaining ones which are the Germans to be specific are the ones that are currently moving. If you go online there is even a document about the white population contracting diseases.

@@nastykash9557 it was predominantly white during the 1600’s because of pirate occupation of the island. During mid 1600’s Africans started being shipped to Jamaica from west Africa and also other parts of the Caribbean. So no it was never predominantly white for any reason other than colonization.

@@nycg801 sources says otherwise. Jamaica was predominantly white during 1600-1800s due to colonisation and their is documents saying the British tried to make it a white country. 1600s Jamaica had predominantly Spanish people. 1700s there was more British people in it to the 1800s. In the mid 1800s Jamaica was 80% white. From early 1800s report stated The white population was dying to diseases which killed off half the white population, by early 1900s you had british moving back to the UK or moving to America by mid early 1950s Jamaica had a influx of Ashkenazi Jews but by late 1980s 1990s those Ashkenazi Jews started to leave. Edit: correction 1600-mid 1700s.

Nah the average Jamaicanz have upto 20% Irish DNA because they had abunch of Irish debt and politcal criminals slaves there, not chattel ofc. Infact the Irish were the first to work on the plantations, but because of the tropical diseases and climate most died, so they started using africans. Africans called them redlegs After slavery ended they used indian and chinese debt bondage/ political slaves instead because it was still legal, unlike in American which ended debt bondage except for prisons after it ended its slavery.

@@jooseppielleese7156 it depends it’s either Irish or Scottish.

being born in Jamaica but not being ethnically Jamaican means it doesn't matter. Just like the white south Africans, you do not get to colonize an area and force people to accept you are one of their own. They are entitled to reject you and any notion of you being a part of their community or culture. Thats to say if they want to accept or reject it, it is up to them as a community not a third party outsider or even the individual who is trying to main the claim of belonging.

Jamaican is a nationality not a ethnicity, if u were to be put on a census for ethnicity u would put black carribean or white carribean simple as its that not alot of white ppl are found in Jamaica because it was majority of balck ppl there. If u are born and raised in the jamaican culturew and citizenship u are jamaican no matter what anyone says, u don't dictate where ppl are from cos how u feel cos he white lmao, I'm Jamaican myself who is black n I werent born in Jamaica but cos I hold the cultrue and that's the same as him he were born in Jamaica but he was raised there and adopted the culture, u jist hating cos he white 😂 and its breaking ur preconception of Jamaica that it multiracial but it is overwhelming black, brudda first ppl where native carib or taino ppl then the actual founding of Jamaica came from UK....white ppl who broguht slaves over and indentur3d servants this ain't hard doesn't matter whether the group accepts him he is what he is and thats jamaican that's like saying balck Americans arent American cos majoirty of Americans are white and have dominated cultrue and politics make it make sense. And even with white south Africans they are Africans by nationality but of European descent simple and they can say their African cos they were born there doeant matte how they got here and history of it to a certain extent and even the balcks within south africa see eachother a bit different cos they have tribes and other black ethnicity

I'm from Hawai'i and most people believe because of the way I speak. Hawaiian Pidgin is very much like Jamaican Patois and sometimes have to employ that to prove it. Not necessarily a big deal, but i struggle to figure out why some challenge others from where they come.

i gotta type.. yes it seems like most ppl in Jamaica actually cared to listen when he spoke, even if it was something crazy they seem concerned. Seems we as americans should take a few lessons.

In Jamaica my nickname was shortman because I was short and twinnie guinep because I had a twin.

Bro..im from Michigan!

He is one of the coolest white Jamaican I ever see big up yourself bro gad

i love seeing jamaican culture getting more light in mainstream

Like he said, Jamaicans who are born and grown in Jamaica would believe right off the bat. Even when he is speaking Standard English I could pick up he’s a Jamaican. He’s hilarious though, his videos always be cracking me up 😂

I relate as a white person born in the Bahamas and moved away, always having to explain yes I am Bahamian and yes I am white.

I wish I am in jamaica

As a Jamaican who is mixed with Scottish Asian and African . I don’t think people can comprehend the diversity in Jamaican culture ..
