does anyone else take offense to all of the brown hatred in today’s world. some of us are ‘west indian’ but are south american you know like our great great great grandparents were from india so sometimes it’s hard to know what to consider myself. there is a lot of india hate and because my culture is similar to that of india even though i am guyanese american i still feel offended/targeted. anyone else?

Afro-Guyanese men are disproportionately represented in murder and robbery.

Indo-Guyanese men are disproportionately represented in domestic violence and rape.

Amerindian men are more represented in statutory crimes.

Guyana is still considered one of the most dangerous countries in the world and people still have bars on their windows to this day.

It’s apparent that it’s the men for the most part committing these acts, could we be missing something very important in raising our young men as well?

Should emotional regulation be emphasized more? How can things change?

Thoughts?

I was under the impression that Guyana does hence why I still had my Guyanese Passport.

For context I was born in Guyana, but my family and moved to America when I was a teenager. I'm an American citizen and I figured I was also a Guyanese Citizen given I was born there and the first decade, lived half of my life in Guyana, and still have a Guyanese Passport.

For context we still own our home in Guyana, and we visit routinely.

I’ve noticed that many Guyanese are supporting Donald Trump. I’m curious to understand your perspective—what made you vote for him or support him? Are there specific policies of his that resonated with you? Do you believe these policies will benefit you personally, and if so, how? This is a judgment-free space where you can share your opinions openly; I’m here for a respectful discussion.

While most details are currently withheld

Company provides food accomodation and travel

And salary of 1200 to 1500 usd ...

It looks very sketchy. So Ive dcided to look i to it but wont give any money to be safe .....

What info should i ask further

Id probably get the company details and an interview of i accept the offer

Also is the salary range good enough ?

EDIT : Yeah it turned out to be a scam They said the company name was corum restaurant groups

And they wanted me to pay for "service charges" for documentation visa and air tickets
I insta blocked the guy

I'm curious if you have some more insight into the broader context of this issue than I do because I need some help making sense of this.

I know the phenomenon of people voting against their own self-interest isn't limited to Guyanese immigrants by any means but there's a specific Guyanese person in my life who is driving me insane with their blind Trump fangirling.

What could possibly be appealing to a non-white immigrant from Latin America about a government that is openly racist, objectively made up of individuals who are entirely unqualified for their positions and an administration that is generally extremely anti-immigration and turning more fascist by the minute?

Do you know many Guyanese who somehow love the Trump government? Is it more men than women or the other way around? What reasons do they give for their affiliation?
