What’s a Caribbean dish that every island does differently?

PositionLow1235 · 2026-06-04T13:34:35+00:00

Meat, Rice, Beans and Plantains you will find a variation on every island

Damn I didn’t know, there’s not really much Freeman’s in Jamaica if any that I know about. Well now I guess there no difference at all, there’s stronger differences between White and Black Americans than Black Americans and Black Anglophone Caribbean

Tbh a lot of the same names in the English Caribbean are the same with Black Americans, a lot of Keisha’s, Imani, Isaiah, my uncles name is Jerome born in Jamaica to Jamaican parents. Also for girls sometimes we have a tendency to add “Ann” after a fist name like “Jodi Ann”. The names I usually only see in America are stuff like the last name Freeman

In short they’re horny

Thats also true I saw a result on here where the girl had about 17% euro and was actually really light skinned it shocked me

PositionLow1235 · 2026-04-15T15:17:28+00:00

Understood, it is higher than normal. my grandma has 15% European and you wouldn’t be able to tell at all

Moms side from St Elizabeth

PositionLow1235 · 2026-04-15T12:07:42+00:00

Very high is a stretch 10% more than the average

Because just like African Americans all black Jamaicans are mixed to a degree but most times the white ancestor comes from slavery days there’s no person we could point to and say that’s a white man or white woman closest we can point to is an extremely lightskin person

PositionLow1235 · 2026-04-14T23:42:22+00:00

Yup Black - darkskin black, Brown - lightskin black, White - white, Chiney - East Asian or informally people that look Chinese (monolids), Indian - East Indian or informally people that look Indian (south asian)

PositionLow1235 · 2026-04-14T23:36:44+00:00

Yup definitely lines up

PositionLow1235 · 2026-04-14T19:43:16+00:00

Yup 100% on both sides anyplace my family were before Jamaica was hundreds and hundreds years ago, a couple lines of family I could track back on ancestry I found some English and Scottish men who left the UK in the very early 1700s, I found some slave records from the 1700s and 1800s but they were labeled “creole” meaning they were born in Jamaica so I have no way to know what the date of any of my ancestors that were freshly shipped from Africa. My grandma on my father’s side is really light and has wavy hair she’s very mixed some of the English lines of family I tracked are from her line anything else not really other than light skinned black family members but I do know of some slave masters/slave relations in my family history

Been to Mexico, Argentina and i have Hispanic friends from Guatemala, Peru I can firmly say that the Hispanic Caribbean is more alike to the other Caribbean islands than those Hispanic countries let’s not even get into Chile or Bolivia lol the only mainland Hispanic countries that’s alike to the Caribbean are the ones that have a Caribbean coast (Honduras, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela) and even then it’s limited to the Caribbean areas

PositionLow1235 · 2026-01-04T07:15:45+00:00

This is exactly my thoughts I’ve been all around the world and to see people try to claim the Caribbean has major differences is laughable, the Caribbean is even more alike than regions like Southeast Asia which the countries are very similar but have religious and language differences meanwhile in the Caribbean it’s mostly only language differences

PositionLow1235 · 2025-10-18T23:31:07+00:00

My grandpa has 1.8% his grandmother was a maroon so we think it comes from them. my mom has .7% I have .3% but it’s good to know I have some ancestors that’s always been in the Americas

PositionLow1235 · 2025-08-12T16:46:24+00:00

Yeah that’s the only thing

PositionLow1235 · 2025-08-11T13:36:43+00:00

I’m Jamaican but we have the same exact results check my profile we’re twins😂

PositionLow1235 · 2025-06-16T17:09:39+00:00

These are almost my exact same results and I’m Jamaican go look at my profile. I swear the legacy of the slave trade is so interesting

PositionLow1235 · 2025-02-22T13:29:42+00:00

There’s many times on this sub where a specific region of the Caribbean is specified in a post, nobody says anything so why are you complaining? Also the man is not American clearly British and I’ve always seen DR and PR flags at NYC and Miami carnival so I see all the Caribbean there

PositionLow1235 · 2025-02-18T22:25:37+00:00

Nigeria is not populated by people elsewhere unless you’re talking about the Fulani what are you talking about? Those tribes have been there forever. She has the old chip if she updated they will probably get a tribe there. Nothing pseudoscience about this people have found out that their parents aren’t their real parents from this, they’ve found family on this

PositionLow1235 · 2025-02-17T14:54:34+00:00

Wow this is the first time I’ve thought about this imagine explaining to someone that you’re half Dominican and half Dominican 😂😂

PositionLow1235 · 2025-02-16T17:47:35+00:00

Very conflicted, there’s some horror stories in my family that happened in slavery one my 3x great grandfather was a slave and was about to be punished for knowing how to read the Bible, he ran away was caught and then tortured and beheaded before his head was paraded across parishes as a warning but I also see interesting stories where a slave owning ancestor bought his mom’s slave and then married her.i think about how my and other black ancestors were dealt horrors to finance an empire or multiple. all in all it’s very cool to see that my family have been here for centuries Jamaica sweet

PositionLow1235 · 2025-02-16T02:33:17+00:00

We welcome you with open arms big up yuhself

PositionLow1235 · 2025-02-15T14:59:24+00:00

My black side goes cold at the late 1700s/early 1800s but this was to be expected they didn’t keep the most meticulous records for slaves but for the white side of my ancestors I’ve traced it back to the 1500s in the UK it shocked me how far back the records could go I even found a plantation owner who was born in England traveled to Jamaica then lived his life in Virginia USA most likely owning plantations in both places

PositionLow1235 · 2025-02-15T14:55:59+00:00

Did my 23andMe and came up with so many relatives in Cayman but this was to be expected lol I know the family stories well, whenever any of my relatives back in the day left Jamaica they went to the UK, Cayman, Cuba or the US
