Raw & Uncut | Life as a Chinese Jamaican

Greetings my loves,
In today’s video we sit down and talk to our friend who we met at a family owned farm called Earth Family Farm in Ochos Rios in Jamaica 🇯🇲 This is an up close interview of Jah Mikes, a chinese man raised in Jamaica , with rich history and culture in his lineage - he goes into the reality of what it was like growing up in Jamaica as a Chinese man . He also has a rich history working in the music industry and he goes into his experiences working as a music producer in the 1970s reggae era in Jamaica… I hope you enjoy this video and learned something new!

Who see the same vibration in him as a Bob Marley. Jamaica is a mystical place that bridge all races. We don’t think about race in Jamaica, we invite all to come back to humanity.

[@jahmusicmansionwhererealre3920]

Hog wash! Jamaica has the biggest problem with bleaching in the Caribbean. You have a colorism problem which is a derivative of racism.

true... until politics comes in

[@barrylloyd5864]

Jah Mike said it and I can confirm it --I never knew what racism was until I came to America as a 15yr old boy.

[@pattelf7322]

Me too. I came at 15yr old also and went to high school. I woke up fast about racism. New Jersey. Still a deal with it.

[@leighgg7239]

I can confirm that...I have experience any such thing in jamaica until living in America...the most hateful place on earth...if you know you know!!!

Real Jamaican old school rasta talk. Big up. " Out of One People, comes Many people".

[@jewallorvick233]

Your statement of “Out of one People come Many People “ should’ve been to begin with. We need to change, what we have been living with. “Out of Many one People”

[@celticmulato2609]

​@@jewallorvick233In all honesty, Jamaica motto doesn't apply anymore as most Chinese, Whites, Indian and Brown people have migrated especially in the 70s during the mass exodus. The motto was true when we had independence when the island was more diverse, at one time there was nuff White people in Saint Elizabeth, Manchester and Kingston/ St. Andrew, now very rarely unless u go to an uptown party.

[@barry4887]

So true, so true.

[@selroywestfield4236]

​@@celticmulato2609u also have to remember there was huge influx of Chinese an Indian immigrants come to ja during early 80s and early 90s an also ja has 3rd most indo-jamaicans in d caribbean an d most Chinese jamaican in d caribbean dat sounds diverse to me

[@dedcollins]

You stated that he is a Chinese man growing up in Jamaica. But he is actually a Jamaican man grow up in Jamaica. With Chinese heredity . I never described my self as an African/British girl growing up in Jamaica. I am a Jamaican girl that grow up in Jamaica. All of us that grow up or have family from this island are just blessed. None of of are original to the island.

[@linnettenevers5636]

I wish the world had more unique people like him❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂❤😅😅😅😅😅

[@glenmcdaniel]

Non-Jamaicans find it hard to understand why Jamaicans are not used to racism. Kids notice differences and will tease each other: too tall, too short, too black, too white, Chinese etc. So teasing a Chinese classmate was about perceived differences and not racism. That was usually fleeting as well. I bet as they knew him he became accepted in the group. Very very different situation from racism in US and UK for example.

[@majorjohnathanlamey9918]

Exact description of the Jamaican mind 😊

[@amoijoy573]

Well said!

[@edwarduechi7100]

When I first went to the States, is realized the difference with my 20 year career as a Marine I had one roommate from California who was racist to black people and he was Hispanic; that I found strange out of all my experiences that was the moment my blinders were moved. But, 23 years later I am still with my Japanese wife and she loves my Jamaican culture and drive.

[@sashacreary9007]

The divide is along economic lines: classism, not racism. We don’t have that in Jamaica.

[@jewallorvick233]

Classism is what is practiced in JA , but in the U S and European countries, Racism is what is practiced. Classism is the base from where Racism came,

[@elongreen8566]

Agreed, i never knew racism was until i went to the U.S, i grew up in Miami and made friends with loads from the Caribbean, Chinese Jamaicans as well as afro Jamaicans, Trinidadians Guyanese Haitians bagians etc. We always lived as one.thats the way it should be. Blessed.

[@Sthmohtwenty]

Daaa izzzzzz. Usa great faaaa de

[@bernadettefarquhar1453]

Are you kidding me? I remeember the uproar on the part of some Afro-Jamaicans when a Chinese young woman was crowned Miss Jamaica. The poor young lady had to say that although of Chinese race, she didn't know anything about China and ate only Jamaican food, a defence she should not have been forced to take. All people arw capable of discrimination. It depends on who has the upper hand.

[@barrylloyd5864]

@@bernadettefarquhar1453 i also remember when a dark skinned Jamaican was crowned miss Jamaica and there was a big uproar among many Jamaican of all ethnicity. Jamaicans want to be labeled as Jamaicans first and foremost, before being label according to their ethnicity. And that is what set us apart from all other countries with race problems.

@@patriciahercules6852 Patricia it is not about "looking for friends," but it is actually meant as a constructive criticism. In media, journalism or any form of print or electronic communication, the story, news or idea should have 6 key elements: Who, What, When, Where, How and Why. When those elements are addressed in the story (or video as in this case) the audience is usually satisfied with the delivery.

Humans are like vessels to carry out the function of this universe. Some are the catalyst to the inevitable end, and some are the catalyst to the start of something new. It dictates how they interact with each other, and the way they perceive themselves and the world around them. It's incredibly how a man can go around creating conflict wherever he can, however he can. And why some might be dim-witted or devoided of logic. We are all apart of the process that will lead to its fulfillment, it's deep rooted in our subconscious minds, many people aren't even aware of it, they operate on a low frequency. Rastafarians seem to have a higher sense of consciousness about this, that's why I respect them.
