forget about how who arrived where and how,

the main thing is that you seem to have no problem with African people living their lives to themselves and catering to their own lifestyle and choices, but when its another ethnic group you seem to think they are not allowed to or entitled to do so.

To say that there is systemic or Institutional racism here is a stretch.

All of the major officers have been held by multiple races.
The Judiciary,Executive,Legislature,Military Law Enforcement, have been led and populated by multiple races.
There are examples in sufficient quantity to see that the business sector isnt discriminatory.
Banking,Insurance,Energy, Security, Education and to lesser extent Manufacturing etc are all populated by multiple races in quantities that put the tokenism noise to rest.

In the old days the good ole boys controlled the job market and keeping Latino and black folk down.

In present times non black folk control the wealth and who gets into the top universities.

The glass ceiling is alive and kicking but the cracks are starting.

There's a degree of racism in T&T, but it isn't institutional or systemic. It's an individual thing, and it's mostly subtle but at times can be in-your-face outright & blatant usually when the racist thinks they are in private or they can say what they want & nobody else can prove they said it or they are with others of similar mindset, such as the incident with nalini & kerron.

There IS however, elitism in T&T, where your name & ethnicity can be tied to your perceived wealth & influence & connections.
Many elitists think that because they have plenty $$$, mansions, luxury vehicles,& because they knock glasses with politicians or other elitists, that anyone not in their circle or at their level of wealth and influence is obligated to be subservient to them & remain as such. This is another serious societal problem, one that would be just as difficult to get away froml, in that in itself it segregates persons in society based on material wealth & if you lack in this department you are considered inferior or a second class citizen. & sadly too many people in this place are all too willing to accept that role. It's something we as a people need to take seriously & put an end to.

Hello Les Bain,

Its in the Daily Crime Thread.

Summary:

Close to 70 people, including alleged underworld figures, are now in police custody after they were held at a gambling den in San Juan just after 11 pm on Monday for contravening the Public Health Ordinance.

Banking,Insurance,Energy, Security, Education and to lesser extent Manufacturing etc are all populated by multiple races in quantities that put the tokenism noise to rest.

There's a degree of racism in T&T, but it isn't institutional or systemic. It's an individual thing, and it's mostly subtle but at times can be in-your-face outright & blatant usually when the racist thinks they are in private or they can say what they want & nobody else can prove they said it or they are with others of similar mindset, such as the incident with nalini & kerron.

There IS however, elitism in T&T, where your name & ethnicity can be tied to your perceived wealth & influence & connections.
Many elitists think that because they have plenty $$$, mansions, luxury vehicles,& because they knock glasses with politicians or other elitists, that anyone not in their circle or at their level of wealth and influence is obligated to be subservient to them & remain as such. This is another serious societal problem, one that would be just as difficult to get away froml, in that in itself it segregates persons in society based on material wealth & if you lack in this department you are considered inferior or a second class citizen. & sadly too many people in this place are all too willing to accept that role. It's something we as a people need to take seriously & put an end to.

Dude you CANNOT change that and there's nothing inherently wrong with that too. If you or someone in your family has worked hard achieved greatness, wealth or power, others WILL naturally respect it. To get rid of that you need some kind of communist/socialist system where inequality is non-existant.


People tend to lime with people who are similar to them. You can't expect Aboud children to be best friends with Kwame or Ramesh. But at the same time, I'd argue aside from a few elite ppl who live in social bubbles, I see rich and poor liming together a lot. Having non zoned high schools, living in a small ass country and facebook (to maco and flirt) we aren't nearly as separated as you'd think.

Son, it's ok if you think that.
Just remember you think there's nothing wrong with it, especially when the emboldened elite see you working towards progress for yourself & decide to tell you to your face that they don't want you doing what you do to elevate yourself & that you need to accept your place & station, and they take steps to keep you where you are if ever you dare try to work hard to elevate yourself closer to their position.

Classism and racism are two distinct and separate classifications, yes we do have classism present here but for all intentions im not quite sure how you can change that.. or riot against that.........
