    I'm not Jamaican, I'm black and was born in Britain, to non-Jamaican parents. I find it interesting to see the "soft power" Jamaica has been able to project around the world. Jamaicans keep up the good work.

Second anyone born in the american continent is an American which includes Jamaica so yes Jamaicans are american Caribbean

    From what I have seen and heard, thus far. Besides being very organized, etc. Japanese is very appreciative of it's citizens, and keeping up it's population. ( on many levels- a good look) And they do value, the youths. Hence why, Jodi-Ann, really felt, and appreciated the level of care. And hospitality, extended to her.

    On the contrary, despite skin color, what the Japanese value more is culture. You will find small minded prejudice everywhere even in Jamaica. With them, once you display their attitudes and traditional beliefs, they consider you as one of them.
