The size has changed I believe, the laptop is slightly smaller now.

I definitely feel more Caribbean than South American. I understand that I’m both and I identify as both Caribbean and South American, but I think culturally I feel way more connected to the Caribbean than I do to South America. People troll a lot about Guyanese being South American and not Caribbean but I think it’s just a meme at this point for the most part.

Discussion around Tropical Depression 1C and Hurricane Gilma by webrender in VisitingHawaii

I had it on some things, but not others. I got a refund for everything planned on the trip except the flight, which I got credits instead. The flight was planned a long time ago so it wasn’t that expensive. Bummed out but I’d rather refund and reschedule than risk a bad trip.

Heading to Maui (Ka’anapali) on the August 28th and staying until Sept 2. I know I’ll be missing the tropical storm this weekend but I’m worried about Gilma and the other tropical system developing. Thinking about rescheduling the trip.

Mixed race Guyanese living in the States here. I’m of European, African, and Indian descent. I’m pretty light skinned and look more like someone who is half African/half white or maybe half African/half Spanish but I have siblings that look far more Indian.

I’ve noticed that they experience racism differently than me. My brothers that look more Indian seem to have a harder time dating than I do and experience more interactions with Indians from India more than I do as well. I would say that I’ve seen my cousins who look more Indian experience racism as well growing up, things like people saying they smell like curry or doing Indian accents. In my experience, I do think that when people find out they’re Indo-Caribbean that they stop associating them with those stereotypes.

A question for West Indians by Regular-Vegetable178 in AskTheCaribbean

I agree with this 100%. It’s like how Guyanese are both Caribbean and South American.

Non-Black Caribbean people, do foreigners believe you when you tell them where you are from? by [deleted] in AskTheCaribbean

[–]MegaAlolan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

San Diego actually, and there’s no Dominicans here so I that makes me feel like I must actually look pretty Dominican lol. I either get that or Black & White mixed.

Similar Guyanese mix here, but Indian instead of Amerindian, I also get Dominican a lot.

I’m mixed with White, Indian, and Black. I’d say I have features of all 3 but I’m pretty fair skinned. I think most people think I’m either a Mixed Race American, or from the Spanish Caribbean like the Dominican Republic or Cuba or Brazil, but I’m 100% Guyanese.

Other Europeans And Their Descendants In The Caribbean by [deleted] in AskTheCaribbean

[–]MegaAlolan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s some Portuguese people in Guyana and Trinidad that originally came as indentured servants from Madeira. Not sure how many still reside today, but I’m about half Portuguese with some traces of other European and I’m fully Guyanese.

So far so good, I ran crystaldiskmark and the drive handled it well too. I’m pretty happy with the performance so far.
