My husband's nickname is Mr. Chin. He grew up in Jamaica. I noticed while there that everyone does refer to anyone of Asian descent as " Mr./Mrs. Chin." At first I thought it was rude but learned that it's not meant to be offensive. Jamaicans just love calling people everything but what their mama named them lol
It’s a form of respect to acknowledge that you are of Asian descent. Idk why Jamaicans made that up but they did I think mostly because my people don’t speak their language
Because it’s not meant to be disrespectful it’s meant to acknowledge their Asian roots and where they are from since we don’t speak their language but I guess outsiders don’t know this but the Chinese Jamaicans know this
so true. look if you were to get offended by all the names Jamaicans give you you would go through your whole life being offended . Plus its all in good fun, we ll Jamaicans . and even when you not Jamaican we claim you same way as long as you awrite.
We jamaicans or black jamaicans mean no disrespect to the Chinese people its just like the man says and calling them chiney instead of Chinese its just patios its the way we talk
My partner, an Indonesian, was called "Chino" when we were both working in Cuba. And regardless of what country we were working in at the moment everyone said "are you Chinese?" which makes sense since the global population of ethnic Chinese is so huge.
I thought I kinda knew Jamaican history but I've learned something new from you. I never knew "Chinese" people were brought to Jamaica as indentured labourers😮. Well, look how far the "Chinese" have reached.😮
@@janetholness304 they came in the mid 1800s..alot mixed in to the louisiana creole blender an i assume alot migrated West to California, as southern minorities did in the 1900s but every once in awhile youd still see their surnames pop up..like Lee(Li) Hong(Huang/hung)
Slavery officially ended in 1835 -1838 first Chinese arrived in 1840. many people have Chinese ancestry in Jamaica because Chinese women were excluded.
Not only Asians....I began to believe that I must have some Chinese in my DNA, as I too was called "Ms. Chiin"., I do bear a resemb;ance. To my amusement, the closest my ancestry came to China, was from my Indian great grandmother.
And if your black black your blacks, brown, brownin, Jamaicans don't have time for formalities, you get a nickname immediately on day 1 generic or unique to you lol and trust we'll an entire life span without knowing your right name and best of pals regardless
To add on you dont even have to be Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai etc...ethnicity....it can just also be similar facial features like EA, even being black....One of my brother's nickname from birth to 35 years later is still Chiney Man😅.....He has a light complex and looked Chinese when he was born so yap...thats his Nickname...Jamaicans will just call you by how you look...literally..😂😂😂....
I had it for months. I use it as a primer to control my oily skin. I have a similar shade to you. But, I use the universal shade because how I am using it.
Bro every sunday mi mother would send mi to mr chin shop fi buy red peas😅😅 am sorry for labeling y'all but seriously mr chin and miss chin is all i know 😅
Most Chinese migrated to America because Jamaica economy is getting bad also with the increasing crime and violence Kirk are you comfortable living in Jamaica were you in Jamaica
Interesting how his eyes are as a chinese im mixed jamaican chinese nd alot of people see me nd ask where im from after i told them they like nah your eyes are to big 😂
Ghetto definition “a poor urban area occupied primarily by a minority group or groups” You saying only blacks or black Americans can be from the ghetto or what?
Caribbean people give you nicknames. They just stick. If you live in the culture you’ll get it. It’s all love😂
In the USA Asian people don't like when you called dem chin
@leroysameul6377 different culture, different history, and different meaning. The world does not revolve around the US.
as a Jamaican i am so sorry.....we don't mean it to be so...some of us now knows better.
@@Empress_Dowagerexactly it’s in a loving respectful manner that’s why we say Mr.Chin or Miss Chin

Jamaicans knew that all Chinese were not named "Chin" but it was just easier to call a Chinee man that instead of maybe, Wong, Fong, Lee and Chong.😊
I always got confused cuz their koreans with surname lee, it easier to call korean kim 😂
@@sakurakou2009 yeah, because you also got - Kong, Choi, Jung and Rhee 😉
Chin was and is a common last name .. that's why we call them Missa Chin

At least they put Mister in front of it.
Because it’s not meant to be disrespectful it’s meant to acknowledge their Asian roots and where they are from since we don’t speak their language but I guess outsiders don’t know this but the Chinese Jamaicans know this
Cause it's the assumed last name duh

Yes..chinese and India..they were also brought to Cuba and those chinese cubans migrated up to Louisiana
@Olorisha504 Thank you. Knew about the Indians..So does that mean there's a lot of Chinese in Louisana?

Lol! Its all good. At some point your "mr & ms Chin" will get used to it. All a part of the process of integration in Ja.
Usually "chin" was the full name. There chin-sang, chin-lue, etc. So most chins probably not related.
Well now I know more about Tessanne Chin’s last name. 😂
Don't you like the way he explained it? I tell you, everyone who has some experience with this island have a great sense of humor.

Not true there are many japanese tourists they are not called chin.
What about chiney ?
😂 That's basically the same thing. Chiney = Chinese. I take no offense.
@@GhettoKirk876Respect to you, it’s not intended to offend at all. That’s just how we talk 😉.
I can't get no flour in a brown paper bag. All I see is the plastic bag.

@@GhettoKirk876 your "suck off" short that u just posted awhile ago would SO apply here 🤣🤣🤣
Ghetto definition
“a poor urban area occupied primarily by a minority group or groups”

@@niranwashere1087Some people use “ghetto” as a description of a certain kind of distasteful behaviour. Maybe that’s how he was taking it.
