UML, that's quite an interesting post you made there because according to what I was told by many indian friends and family there, it's the total opposite from what you said.
I have INDIAN family there with various business that did not vote PNM yet, they are more successful today with the PNM than they were with the UNC.
Indians still own most of the business in Trinidad. Indians are still the largest land owners in Trinidad. Indians are still in majority when it comes to getting scholarships etc. How it is you can say that the PNM is oppressing the Indian race in T&T?
As far as I see, the indians in Trinidad are like American blacks.... They quick to bawl racial oppression for every lil thing. The government has a priority issue - they not concentrating on the key needs of the people and hence the reason for some people to feel neglect and feel as though they are being oppressed.
Do you think the bandits only choose to rob & kill indians alone?? No! it only looks that way because most business owners are indians and that's why I feel it looks like the crimes are racially motivated. Crime in Trinidad is not limited to only 1 race, is everybody getting their share of the criminals so doh feel like you are being singled out because of your skin color.

you all can keep up that sheit talk about one race and togetherness BS. fact is there is racism everywhere in trinidad in all the races. indians show racism toward their own. i have seen this myself where toddlers of a lighter complexion are treated better than the darker ones. dont fool yourselves. whether you like it or not racism is here to stay

I know of people who are helping some of the Indian guys locate space to set up business centers, and their vision for it is fantastic, if you talk to these guys they have such a good understanding of what's going on down here economically/politically/etc, they're very in touch with Trinidad.

Give a girl a chance to wake up properly nuh?
Yes I interact with Indians from India, in Trinidad/Canada/UK/States, never had an issue, they never treated me differently, they actually showed interest in what part of India we originally came from etc. I mean in Trinidad we have them over, we keep in touch etc
In terms of business, there was just a large contingent that came to set up Trade Centers here and an organization was formed for it - don't remember the name now
happy now Rene :p

You only speak like that because you have never experienced true racism. If you are referring to anything you have experienced in T&T, let me assure you that is not what racism is no matter how isolated or intense your experience here might have been. Racism is a systematic, nationwide process that is practiced against a minority ....wait.... There are no minorities in T&T that can complain about racism so I can stop here.

There is a special fiber that connects us all together even in spite of forced racism at election time. I LOVE my Trini people and the PM f India should realize that there are no Indians from Trinidad for anyone from Indian or anywhere else to connect to, there are only Trinidadians here.

Yup, same story here but it's mainly an issue with the "higher class" indians..

Do you see what you are doing here?
Stereotyping a people on the basis of their homeland.
So I guess according to you and others in this thread, Indians from India "stink smelling".
Hmmm.
That don't mean that I hate them.. Actually we have quite a few india born (smelly type) family friends that are often over at our house etc.. It's just that I prefer not to be in the same boat as them because the only thing we have in common is skin color and hair.. Kinda the same way 99% of this forum don't want to be associated with you
