The truth of the matter is, when Jamaicans call an indian Coolie we dont mean shit by it. Most of the times it is not meant to disrespect them, its just what we call them, I bet most Jamaicans dont even know what coolie means. I am not saying its okay to call indians coolie, but most jamaicans are ignorant to the real meaning. I am a true Jamaican and I cant rightly tell you that most of us dont mean to disrespect indians when we say coolie.

very true only the white ppl thinking and the other racies that Guyanese and trini are copies to the jamaicians using words like "cutlass" and " skunt " Jamaicians Dont even use half these words but when they hear us talk they claim " we are a wanna be " which we are not cause we were born in the carrribean but the guyanese dont use half the words Jamacians use but some wrds the JAMS try to claim on it. its curupted cause the whites need to know where we come from and not as we r a fake

another thing when people hear different words out from a coolie person mouth from Guyana Or trinidad they say Oh that's a jamician word why you using it? for exaple Cutlass i said that once a jamcian turns around and say why u said that am like das our word jamcians try to claim all the words in the west indies and whenever a white or diff race hear's a Guyanese or trini they think were a wanna be of a jamacian we not this is how we talk ... broken english our root's have a lot of history
i ken undastan exactly wah yuh say, am guyanese too and it does piss me off fuh hear dem damn ppl, seh, oh yu like jamaican eh? no!! i is like guyanese, fuq jamaica, why dey does tink duhs doh only damn caribbean country. stupid ass american. and yeah an lak duh word skunt dat duh damn jamaicans start using, does we word, so get duh in yuh head. propr to GT.
Its ignorance on the american's part. the only caribbean country they identify patois with is jamaica b/c thats where they vacation. "You have dreds? OH you must be from jamaica! Did you just say 'wha gwan'? You speak jamaican don't you!!" If they would visit our other beautiful caribbean countries, and immerse themselves in our rich culture they would understand that we are more of a melting pot than their entire 50 states!
handler and another thing the chinese came to Guyana as well i am not sure how this guy nataschafrance know's a lot about of culture history but its impressive not many people do but i am not sure about the chinese part i would have to asked my grandmother she would maybe know .. WHAT I DO FIND INSULTING IS WHY THE FCUK THIS SONG SAY COOLIE RIDEM ITS EMBRACING SHOWING BLACK PEOPLE AND SAYING THERE COOLIE JUST GIVES ANOTHER CREDIC TO THEM WHICH THEY ARE NOT AND NOT BEING RASIST
an yuh knoh wah, i don fin coolie offensive, me family de mix up mix up wit white and indian, chiny black and even buck and i proud of where i come frum meh nah care cuaze is jus like nigga, me granfaduh does seh duh word like is notn at all and yuh no wah it is notn unless yuh mek it sumtn. is all about duh meaning to yu.
the word "coolie" was derived from the chinese word 苦力(ku li) which means hard work or laboured work the british used it first in south east asia and later took it to the caribbean where it was used to refer to the indians that came as indentured immigrants....now its used mainly in guyana and trinidad << the part where he talks about the british bring people from india to guyana and trindad is true i heard from my parents why they call us coolies is meaning by the indians were bagage
im trini to and ppl refer to me as a coolie i dont find it insultive but it has an insultive meaninq behind it like the word niqqa... the whole point is if u decide to take offcence of it its part of my culture i embrace it we were hard workers and i think if we werent i wudnt be here to day and know what i know
just to add a bit...the word "coolie" was derived from the chinese word 苦力(ku li) which means hard work or laboured work...the british used it first in south east asia and later took it to the caribbean where it was used to refer to the indians that came as indentured immigrants....now its used mainly in guyana and trinidad to refer to those of indian ancestry...some don t have a problem with it while others find it insulting.
this a riddim.a lot of artist have used this beat.that's how they do in Jamaica.Love is wicked is diwalli riddim and it's they same that Sean paul used.
ea what love brick and lace said. but if u wanna get technical, elephant man used it in jook gal, nina sky in move yo body girl, pitbull with culo and now brick and lace
haha there so much talk over what coolie is. & i'm trini & I think its ok if ppl call each other coolie! i dont think its offensive...i just thought it was someone who acts very very indiany in guyana or trini.
dam that sucks how so many trini's and guyanese use dis word among themselves and call each other that as if it is cool..im trini and I just think its weird that ppl use it in d worn context..its just as bad as saying niggah even though many ppl use it also.
Who the hell are Brick & Lace. I'm an old hippie from the late 60's. Also when my sons who are in their early thirties greet each other by saying "hey nigger" when they meet,I get really annoyed.Because they are not of negro descent, and even if they were, I would still be annoyed.
The word "coolie" means labourer( British spelling) or plantation worker. The British first started calling the East Indian Indenture Labourers "coolie". This word referring to people of East Indian origin is a derogatory word, it's like using the "N" word.
Guyanese folks are very good dancers. We are just as good as the Trini and the Jamacians.I met my husband at a Jamacian house party in London, England.
I agree about the derogitory part...it is ignorant but realize it is also ignorant to think all the East Indians in the W.I. are from Trinidad or Guyana. I am Jamaica and I am from a mixed East Indian family. The word is used there as derogitory word just like Chiney,blackey,nigga,etc.
