[mjjcng8958]

my neighbor in florida is from jamaica this is no suprise to me

[crystallbaby123]

ONE LOVE

[jmltalbert5650]

This is what I love to see... my jamaican people and worrys about skin color. Keep posting more videos I love it.

[gregoryrps]

@mddarch I see you are quite ignorant classing as "you people", if you have racist comments why not speak to your like-minded friends.

[sonicvybe]

is wha dem a chat bout...hahah

[zacatetas]

it's beautiful. I hate it when I hear white americans say anti immigrant things

[ace24680]

lol me i dont wanna go to the country part too long its just too big i like the city clustered :) seems like they in the hills :D

[ennisel]

can i just educate you all Jamaicans and most peoples in the northern caribbean or greater antilles, don't speak patois but Gullah (research it)

[jamaica0410]

Not true. I am from jamaica. We speak patois. Gullah is an african language and culture. Patois in many ways is the end result of combining of english and gullah.

[lilwayneballa10]

patois? u mean patwa

[haji0410]

@lilwayneballa10

It's properly spelled patois. Patwa is understood by yardies

[haji0410]

@lilwayneballa10 younger jamaicans might spell that way like my cousins. That would be a more phonetically way of writing. If it's all understood it's all good as far as I am concerned. Google patois and you will see.

[shollymolly]

@ennisel no dude we speak patios... research that

[jamaica0410]

Furthermore, when West Africans learn English (because English is a common language to learn) they end up sounding very Jamaican in a sense. They end up speaking a patois. I saw a documentary about an isolated island off the coast of the American Carolinas that retains Gullah culture.

[jamaica0410]

They name their children after the days of the week, make rice baskets called fannas. Some gullah descendants went to west africa and cried upon hearing the language spoke since it reminded them of their mother whom they always thought was odd and different than the rest of the americans and america they grew up with. They then understood the connection. Gullah culture persisted since they were isolated from racism and the oppresive mainland slave culture.

Big up to my chinese Jamaican crew, my great grandad was Jamaican Chinese from Portland Big up De Chin Family

[tanya876diva]

its not unusual for us J'cans.."out of many one people"

[playagurl707]

Mi lov it

[frecksz]

I'm canadian/jamaican and this shit surprises me everytime. LOL

[steeltownbrown52]

@frecksz Really? My parents have a Chinese-Jamaican friend back home. I went to church with a elderly Chinese-Jamaican woman when I was a kid. I can understand a non-Jamaican being surprised but not a Jamaican like yaself frecksz?

[frecksz]

@steeltownbrown52 Well i live in canada so i guess its a sort of social stagnation. When im in a canadian setting and all of a sudden a white or asian person comes up to me and starts speaking jamaican, it always catches me off guard. lol so its not like i think its impossible but i just meant its uncommon.

[steeltownbrown52]

@frecksz If it's in Canada, then ya might question it cause there is a lot of JaFakins out there. They'll try and fit in with their Jamaican friends or spouse to make them feel comfortable to speak patois. Most Jamaican people in Canada won't speak patois to me cause I don't speak it back(I understand it tho). Just kinda irritates me("you're too light-skinned to be Jamaican") that there are people out there that think Jamaica is a strictly a black country.

[SheenaLegg]

@steeltownbrown52 well those people are just ignorant

[kevdem18]

Aisian people want to take over Jamaica, and the Latino's are trying hard too!

[wonietang123]

Me nah know bout dat!!!! lol

I'm going to see my mum tonight and yam some Curry Goat and dumpling.

[wonietang123]

This is so nice. Nice to see videos of Jamaica that doesn't only show one aspect of the people living there

[gregoryrps]

Ive lived in Jamaica (Yaard) most my life(26 of 29) and this a typical Jamaican-Chinese family......There is a large mixed-society in Jamaica especially Chinese,Indian and Jewish eventhough its hardly known,if you travel and actually see Kingston or Mo-Bay even through to rural areas like Mandeville and Ochi youll see its a real "mixing-pot" of ethnicities.

[fashionmeetpuppy]

omg thats is exactly what my mom says word fi word my mother grandparents are from india and migrated to jamaica and my grandfather is jamaican indian and chinese you are most definately right about a mix-society

[chuckforeal]

yes like hanover

[steeltownbrown52]

@gregoryrps Don't forget Portuguese and Irish.

[24Cenac]

Do they speak Mandarin? Usually, the migrants to the Caribbean-were poor, outsiders, not really classed as 'Indian' or 'Chinese' by ruling groups (Brahmins, or Northern Han Chinese. Hence, the term coolies and, for the 'African', 'slave'. Like Africans, they perhaps no lill abt their identiy, speak Patios & English, & giv nuff respect to Jesus. Nice, lovely family, though.

[Desi11413]

I'm sorry Jakeychan.....but they are clearly speaking patois...sorry...chinese jamaicans exist.....The man clearly said Mi nah no bout dat

[jakeychan87]

i didn't say chinese jamaicans didn't exist.

[RomiLeMot]

the Chinese in Jamaica do speak Hakka but I am black and don't speak a word of it yet i understood them. I wonder why? In Jamaica everyone speak patois to some degree

[cafelattemocha]

They are not speaking Hakka right now in this video.....they are speaking patois/English. Majority of the Chinese Jamican population don't speak Hakka amymore......only the old generation (grand parents etc..can still speak........it's a beautiful language though and I am lucky that my grandmother continued to speak to us in Hakka....

[RomiLeMot]

yea dont worry i kno..but some idiot thought they were speaking Hakka in this video... i guess because he/ he couldn't undertand them? I was just sayin i undertsood everyword because they werent speaking Hakka. This is an amazing video though best on youtube

[cafelattemocha]

Yes, it is......;)

[jankraw]

[jrmetmoi]

A lot of Asians living all over the world prefer to stick to their own kind but even famous people with Jamaican backgrounds who are black have at least Asian (Chinese) grandparents if not great-grandparents.

Tyson Beckford, Naomi Campbell and even, believe it or not, Grace Jones! Then you have to factor in the ones who are NOT famous.

[heheurfunny]

Yes, I think the Chinese assimilated more into the Jamaican culture more so than they did other areas of the world.
