OPINION Foundational/FBA/ADOS vs. Black Immigrants

[DOS_patos]

Jamaica isn't only black ppl. I personally know a Chinese Jamaican.

So what color is associated with Jamaican? It’s clear the Chinese person came to the island from somewhere else. I’m sure it’s white Jamaicans.
Maybe I’m wrong but shouldn’t a “black “ Jamaican be just Jamaican? Their island.

I never heard of white German or white French.

just saying

Is this really worth arguing about.

Right. This proved she’s mixed but still can claim the island.
What would a black Jamaican be mixed with? A black American?

Is this really worth arguing about.

It’s a question.
Nothing is really worth debating. I’m trying to understand why black was added in his case.
Stall me out

It didn't raise any eyebrows from me, so that's ur issue. He can indulge you.

I see the redundancy of it. I just think it's trivial.

My guess is he used black purely for emphasis since being black makes his opinion about the Adele thing that much more relevant.

Or since we use "black American" a lot he had that racial-nationality construction in mind and typed it in a jif.

But here i am again answering for someone else now.

What’s trivial to you is not trivial to someone else.
But again this is just my question to understand his statement.

like I said I might be wrong. I feel the island is theirs and thus he shouldn’t need to specify color to anyone once he states his nationality. That’s their nation.

Then explain how it isn't trivial. You're the only one here making an issue of it. I've got Jamaican heritage myself and didn't bat an eye.

Other than that, I agree. Saying black jamaican is redundant. When u say "Jamaican" most would already assume ur black. It's the minorities in the nation who would be obliged to tack on their race.

It’s not trivial because I asked about it.

being the only one asking means nothing to me. If I’m curious I’m asking.

Lol. I can admit to having trivial curiosities. anyway....

here's another theory. if an Asian Jamaican moves to the US they'd call themselves Jamaican American. Not Asian Jamaican American.

Who else would do that? Immigrated Jamaicans who are black.

They're both Jamaican Americans.

From that American immigrant context it'd sometimes make sense to differentiate between race when mentioning your background. So, even if not bothering to mention his status as an American immigrant in the post, this racial differentiation of Jamaican immigrants was still used.

I guess that makes sense. Man I told myself I wouldn't go this deep into it.

I specified black because of the subject at hand. Jamaica is a diverse island. There's white, chinese, indians, jewish et al on the island. U right tho, it is majority black. The motto of the island is 'Out of many, one people".

This thread just needs to die. It's not progressing to any sense of real understanding.
