I was born in England, but grew up in Jamaica in the 1960s. I don't ever recall being made to feel different because I was white. My friends were a mixture of Blacks, Chinese, Syrian etc., and we never gave it a second thought.

I am a french born from a Jamaican - Scottish mum & Brazilian - Chinese dad. In France I felt quite alienated for being 'different' and rejected based on racial prejudices. When my parents decided to leave Europe for Jamaica I felt anxious. But upon arrival I realised how welcoming Jamaicans are. Our motto " Out of many , one people" speaks volumes. All of a sudden, I felt at ' home'. The warm hospitality , the food and the hilarious sense of humour of the Jamaican people made me fall in love with this beautiful island. I now live in the UK and whenever I hear someone talking patois or about Jamaica my heart skip a beat of joy.

Love this video! My grandfather was irish; my grandmother was from the Ivory Coast. My grandparents had seventeen kids. We never looked at colour. When I first came to America, I was shocked to learn about racism. I recall my sister and I saying to each other: grandfather was white, was he? We honestly thought we were living in a nightmare when we saw the division in America. I love all people, and no matter what is going on in America, I will still hold onto my beautiful culture. I love my Jamaican culture, and it makes me what I am today. I will remain who I am, which is not to judge anyone by their colour nor their ethnicity. Love can conquer the world. What a waste of time to pour one's energy into hatred. Life is too short.

Goodness I feel as if I'm reading my own personal experience of "Coming to America" back in the late 60's at the tender naive age of 7 and living New York, major odd experience was the color of my reddish brown sometimes frizzy curly hair that almost matched my complexion and having my 7 year old classmates if I dyed my hair 🙂, and why my brother's eyes were green and mine brown, sometimes I wondered about that myself 🤔. But the real cultural shock was moving to Miami Beach in the 70's our mixed Jamaican heritage was apparently too much for most to handle and it was there we learned the hard truth of "race assignment" and cultural categorization for instance one of my Junior High School teachers asked me in front of the entire class "where are you from?"... "Jamaica"..."Ah, now I understand why you're different, so smart" let's just say that didn't make me very popular with most who already didn't like me. My school was in a very well to do mostly Jewish upper class neighborhood and they bused in kids from the inner city and then there were at least 5of us from Jamaica, with two of us being siblings, my brother being popular, because he was a boy, and me well, the inner city girls just never gave me a chance for them to get to know me, I was a walking target of derogatory slurs, "zebra, oreo" just to name a couple...oddly, most of my friends were Jewish and always came to my defense and were protective of me, but it should never have been like that...I held my head even higher and wore my culture my proudly...and yes it was tend I learned my paternal grandfather was white and my grandmother was mixed...my maternal grandfather was mixed and grandmother was biracial (Indian and Scottish)....It was then I was truly "Out of Many One People" and became "ethnocentric" while in Junior High School...thanks for the experience. I wish others could learn from us. I pray one today, our beautiful island will be rid o its troubles where it exists and heal and be healed and restored in those areas...for there truly is no place on this planet like Jamaica...God Bless. Thank you.

I was born and Jamaica and moved here to the USA in my 20s. On many occasions, I have to explain to Americans about the culture and diversity and the concept of "Out of Many, One People".

Enjoyed the video. Always tell my son, in Jamaica everyone has a nickname. Teeth, because is pure teeth you see and dem big😁. Spermhead because him head and body shape like a sperm. Merrylegs, because him was a track star and could run. Maaga tread rice, because she is skinny like thread and white like rice. Battyface, because his face was flat with fat cheeks and a cleft chin. I could go on and on. And the funny thing is that you call them by the name and they answer🤣🤣

I love to listen to these stories. I’m 59 and when I was growing up near harbor view, my mom worked for Chinese and white folks . I never even know the word racism. The treated my mom with loving kindness and all the kids who were teenagers and older called my mom who is black by the way ‘’ mom ‘’. The last family she worked for was the Quarries that the school was named after because there son Donald Quarry was a famous athlete. I only found out about racism when I moved to America. I pray Jamaica would go back to the way it used to be, like this lady experienced. You never needed a comedy club cos Jamaica has some of the funniest people and the best food if you ask me . I often want to visit but my top reason is I’m scared I may not make it back home. The violence is too much , and yes I know there is violence everywhere but as a Jamaican it is dangerous, I must say . I remember going to the river to wash clothes and bathe and we would catch janga and cook season rice . OH THOSE WERE THE GOOD DAYS .At least I feel blessed to have those memories to hold on to. I don’t love what my birth place has become 😭🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲❤️🙏🏿

I love what she had to say, BUT I'm in my 60s now and not as nostaligic about growing up in Jamaica. I left Jamaica when I was 13 years old, but then colorism was front and center as part of Jamaican life, i.e., the lighter you are or mixed the more privilege you had. The irony of it all, when I arrived in American, regardless of your color and socioeconomic status, you were referred to as Jamaican -- no defrentiation. Things changed significantly with Michael Manley, and when he married Beverly. I remember going back to Jamaica and started seeing dark skin Jamaican in the Bank at the Front desk in hotels and in the shops. He changed the culture -- it shifted! We have self-actualized to where we see ourselves as the motto "out of many one people."

The presenter may well be a nice woman, but there are things that black people face she will never have to. She and her kind are a protected species in Jamaica. There is a legacy of a protective force field that surrounds them, enabling them to walk in places that black people fear to. She has the right kind of glasses for the video...............

I’m British born and bred 1st gen from Windrush generation Jamaicans and It’s so nice to hear an ex-pat Jamaican speak well of the country from a very interesting life experience, perspective and with excellent story telling instinct. I’ve heard many ex-pat Jamaicans speak lovingly of the country in person, but not that like that with a life story on social media. Maybe it’s just me …and mi need fi open up mi eye and wash out mi ears when mi look up Jamaican on YT 😂
