Black Indians

[edit]

Are they referred to as "black" or as "black indians"?

Why on earth would that be? Guyana and Trinidad were pretty much polarised politically and socially into Indian and Black, hence a racial mixture of the two would be extremely rare and in any case would be called Afro-Indian or Afro-Indo-Carribean. Afro-Indo-Carribean Americans in this case. Bloody hell this subcatagorising is getting silly isn't it? --JamesTheNumberless 15:38, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Afro-Indo racial mixture is "extremely rare"? Really? When 18% of the population is mixed and most of them are of mixed African and Indian descent, how is that "rare"? Guettarda 16:29, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I didn't very much like the term as at first glance it suggested a typically American ignorance of ex-colonial culture. Specifically I thought: Why would the entire Indo-Carribean emigré population be referred to as Black-Indians when only a fraction of 18% of them are at all ethnically black? I do of course now realise this could be a reference to black Carribean culture, shared by Indo-Carribeans, and not necessarily race. --JamesTheNumberless 17:10, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An utter waste of bandwidth

[edit]

I have to agree - there's really no purpose to this page other than highlighting the fact that people move around. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.95.101.245 (talk) 02:17, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously though, why have this article and not:

Indo-Carribean British Indo-Carribean French Indo-Carribean Dutch Indo-Carribean Indian

etc.

Merge it with Indo-Carribean or get rid of it. Either that or come up with some reason why this fragment is notable in itself or some notable people under the category. --JamesTheNumberless 15:48, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please moderate your language. Your campaign against articles related to these ethnic groups is starting to feel racist. Guettarda 16:25, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I simply beleive that a lot of this fragmented information would be better off consolodated into a single entry. I don't understand why Indo-Carribean Americans is a separate entry when there is no new information of note contained within it. --JamesTheNumberless 17:10, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Much better now

[edit]

This is much more like it, well done everyone who has contributed material since I last visited here and left my rant :) Hopefully the missing citations will follow. --JamesTheNumberless 18:31, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
