    We DO NOT say “Asian Jamaicans” in Jamaica. Miss Chin is a Jamaican! Hence our motto “Out of many one people.”

      Ms Chin: fact CK ya do pls tell me who were Jimmy Cliff's road manager and who was Bob Marley's road manager? I wish the world could find this more credible had you come with this information earlier in light of all the things about the black against Chinese and you know the other way around. Hopefully we both know this is not a true thing it's just propaganda. So I want to make sure you're coming with the realness. She's educating the people within her own culture about reggae music more appropriation of our culture. Such a sad thing going on around the world. They won't let us be us, and I'm not apologizing for their fear Factor. I too am afro Asian Hispanic and all the rest of them mixed in. So I and very skeptical about this coming out 5 days ago not sure when it was recorded because that information is not here. However had this been recorded 5 days ago what took her so long to come forward with this? Whichever this flips to I appreciate at least you took the time for some accuracies. My people already know about all this so she's acclimating her people another form of appropriation because you already see the run over r&b and all the rest of the musical genres with this BTS by transsexual whatever it is band. Good for them they got over but I think this is on the verge of crossing the line. You say we hate you but you picture us with monkeys next to our photos, you say we randomly mow you down and hate you and all that but you have yet to bring a suspect and don't you know that there's a lot of dark colored people in this world that aren't necessarily African or African-American so there goes your stereotypes right out the door. I think Mr B's turning in his grave!yourr music?

      Most Jamaicans ARE black. I understand the covid situation has put a spotlight in unfair treatment of Asian groups but we don’t have to pretend something is more than what it is. I feel like this comment section is pandering given what I mentioned above.
      Jamaicans do make reference to racial differences (ie/ browning, coolie, chiney...).
      Most of Jamaican culture constitute African culture remixed. Asian Jamaicans are an extreme minority but constitute as mainly as the business class of the island (ie/ shop owners, etc...).
      The relationship between Chinese and the larger black Jamaican community hasn’t always been smooth sailing.
      Are there personalities who have broken the mould, but it doesn’t change the historical reality.
      Reggae would have still been reggae without Mrs. Pat Chin because Afro derives music is popular everywhere (soca, reggae, dancehall, rnb, blue, rock n roll, Afrobeats, hip hop, merengue, bachata, salsa, samba, kizomba, Kompa, etc....)

    • @blackryan5291
      @blackryan5291 Před 3 lety +2

      @Brenda Sunshine Her accent. You don't hear it?? Its not thick but absolutely there. Once a Jamaican moves from Jamaica to America people can't understand the thick accent. So when this lady or my mother or father talk to anyone in America that is not Jamaican then they gotta turn their accent off as best as they can. So basically if you can't hear her accent, then the fact that she suppressed her accent enough to the point that you can't hear it means she was successful at suppressing her accent enough so that you could understand her. Soo...for that...your welcome. You understood her. She only had to turn off a huge part of her culture (speaking normally and comfortably without judgement) in order to do so. Cause once the cameras turn off, Once my mother hangs up the phone, once my father stops talking to his boss, the accent comes back out in full force. My fathers is really really thick. My mothers....not so much. Nobody would understand them otherwise. Hence the reason they have to turn the accent off for people. When I first moved here people would ask me if I could speak English. I was speaking English. But my accent was so thick. I was 6 years old getting told to learn English before coming to an English speaking country....by my teacher amongst others. I was speaking English. I just could not understand why this was happening. I had to learn to tone it down. It took a lot of years, bullying and depression to get to a point where I could actually talk to people and they understand me. So could we give her a break because changing your vernacular is very difficult. Like....its hard to change how you talk.

Its just that She is not as Popular as Snoop or Taylor Swift. So there aren't as many people that even know she exists as there are people that know Snoop. Because there aren't as many people that know she exists then there also won't be as many volunteers at Wiki that know she exists and put effort to write a whole wiki page correctly and factually for free.

      @@AlliDell Ik that’s what we call them. That’s their nationality but is doesn’t change the race behind it. Jamaica is a Black Country. The motto refers more to culture than the ppl for that reason. When you think of Jamaicans, white and Asian people are the last to come to mind. Black people being upset that others refer to her as Asian Jamaican is just as weird as being offended with calling someone Afro/African American. That’s what they are the race doesn’t change a thing😊.

    I like she said in Jamaica people use words in the song to tell emotion instead of gun! What a wise delight precious way!

      She did not create reggae music. Thank the creators which are the artists. She was a distributor and promoted the music, but wasn't the only one at all.

    She speaks of "my culture, my music" - she didn't make/create the music but It is good to hear that she has totally embraced her Jamaican culture. One Love, Fi True!

    Uh, I love this so much. We need more love and expression of others culture, with sensitivity to those originators in mind.
