'I AM A JAMAICAN!!'

Interviewed in this video are White Jamaicans, plenty of Indian Jamaicans, Chinese Jamaicans (there were so many but they were the most camera shy) and of course, Black Jamaicans...to show the diversity of the country that most people don't know about. This was at Jerk Fest 2009, just one event had so much diversity!
My apologies to ChinaBForever, Jamaicans of Chinese descent who had submitted their video for this project - I tried hard and hard but it did not want to convert into something my computer could handle...so, I'll upload it separately.

Many thanks to everyone who everyone who gave their time for this video...And even so I think I have missed some...

@82BlackPower OK E-D-U-C-A-T-I-O-N. PLEASE READ A BOOK. I MEAN NO DISRESPECT I REALLY DONT. LET ME SCHOOL YOU. YES, IF YOUR BORN IN IRELAND U ARE YOU ARE IRISH BY BIRTH RIGHT. IT'S A CULTURE NOT A RACE. BEING JAMAICAN IS A CULTURE ... NOT A RACE. BEING AMERICAN IS A CULTURE NOT A RACE GOOGLE IT... REALLY! WHERE YOU'RE BORN IS NOT YOUR RACE IT'S YOUR CULTURE. QUESTION: SO A BLACK PERSON BORN IN AMERICA IS NOT AMERICAN TO YOU? IM JUST TRYING TO U/S YOUR LOGIC. EACH 1 TEACH 1! PEACE!

@LOVELYPOSITIVELY77 American is not a race, so what you say makes no sense,Jamaican however is a race,and one that is predominately Black! I could have been born in Ireland,being Black would that make me irish?

@Applebaum A FRIENDLY BAHUMBUG.... IT WOULD NOT HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AS THE CULTURE IS DIFFERENT... AMERICA IS AMERICA AND JAMAICA IS JAMAICA.... EVERYWHERE HAS SOME ISSUES, BUT OUT OF MANY ONE PEOPLE NO MATTER HOW WE GOT THERE. IN AMERICA WHITES ARE BECOMING A MINORITY, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST B/C IF THE HISTORY IN WHICH AMERICA WAS BUILT ON. DONT TAKE AWAY THE BEAUTY OF OUT COUNTRY JUST ENJOY IT.
