e.g. Barbados. There were fishing waters disputes, and I've heard there's a general resentment because Trinidad and Tobago was blessed with more natural resources and is careless with them. We here rolling in the oil money (well our elites anyway, not literally us in this thread), and they had to ketch their ass and build tourism.
Jamaicans. Why is this? Is it seriously because we phased out listening to dancehall here, and it's more soca now? (Do you listen to urban radio?? This cant possible be true. In fact on Ash Wednesday 96.1 does be back on dancehall and rap)Sounds far fetched.
Are we arseholes to our regional visitors? Are we arseholes when we visit? Are they the ones who are the problem?

Dancehall backlash in B’dos
BY RICHARD JOHNSON Observer senior reporter
Wednesday, May 18, 2016 49 Comments
THERE is another call for a clampdown on dancehall music. The latest comes from Barbados Culture Minister Stephen Lashley who says it should be banned from the airwaves.
He cites a connection with growing crime and violence in that country with the genre.
Lashley is quoted in Barbados’s
Nation newspaper calling for a stance to be taken against “reckless behaviour”.
“I am indeed very concerned about the escalation of gun violence, and in particular the escalation of violent acts that have claimed the lives of so many persons already this year,” he said.
“So I take this opportunity this evening to call on each and every one of us to take a stand on this reckless behaviour. I am equally concerned about the impact of certain types of dancehall music and videos, the impact that this is having on the minds of our citizens, especially our young people,” Lashley told his audience at the launch of the 2016 Community Independence Celebrations at Gall Hill, St John parish, last Saturday.
Meanwhile, individualss have taken to the Nation’s website to comment on Lashley’s correlation between violence and dancehall music.
One user, Elsie Jaime, noted: “Now persons must be told what music is acceptable. I guess the minister going ban Rihanna songs.”
In March, dancehall music made headlines in the United Kingdom when Roy Seda, owner of the Dice Bar in Croydon, England, claimed he had been told that Jamaican music is “unacceptable” by the Metropolitan Police.
Seda further claimed he was under so much pressure that he now makes his selectors sign an agreement not to play the genre as it is claimed to be associated with crime and disorder.

ERICA Atkinson and Shauntell Ferguson sat on a bench outside the arrival area at the Norman Manley International Airport depressed, tired, and infuriated by the treatment they said they received from Antiguan immigration authorities last Thursday evening.
They had just arrived in Kingston after surviving a visit they described as "hell", which they claimed saw them being jailed, taunted, ridiculed, and exposed to serious health risks in the eastern Caribbean country.
Their excitement reportedly turned sour upon arrival at the V C Bird International Airport in Antigua about 9:00 Sunday night.
There, they were among a group of Jamaicans — mostly females — who were yanked from Immigration checking lines, told to sit on a nearby bench and await the arrival of an airport supervisor, they said.
Thirty minutes later, a male supervisor arrived with other Immigration workers and began searching the group of Jamaicans. He asked questions about their business in the country, and about the persons who were to receive them.
Some of these 'receivers' or hosts — as in Atkinson's case — were invited into the interviews, she said.
"He asked us how long we knew each other and how do we communicate. I told him I knew my receiver for two years, and that we mostly communicated over the telephone," said Atkinson.
"They then asked if we were going to have sex and I told them that that was our personal business and that it had nothing to do with Immigration," related Atkinson, who said that her response angered the supervisor, who continued hurling disrespectful questions and insults at her and her friend, repeatedly urging them to "tell the truth, man".
Ferguson, who had booked reservations at a hotel for two weeks, was asked by the Immigration officers how she would finance her visit.
"I told them that I travelled with US$331 and that I would receive more money from a friend in the United States, who would accompany me on the island two days later," she said, adding that the supervisor, obviously in disbelief, instructed her to return to the bench as he intended to continue his interrogation later.
It was then, according to the women, that the group recognised that they were in trouble.
They said about five female Immigration officers who were watching the proceedings started hurling insults at the group of Jamaicans, alleging that they were in the country to "take their men".
Atkinson, a bar operator, and Ferguson, who is unemployed, said they went to the island "just for the experience". Atkinson, a relatively frequent flyer who celebrated her birthday in September, said the vacation was a belated present to herself.
Ferguson said the trip was her first time leaving Jamaica.

^ i like your statement.
Trinidadians are hated and scorned upon worldwide. Any country u go, it always have some annoying trini making a scene somewhere and actin like they this big test, continuing to embarrass their homeland.
When i hear trinis get deported, discriminated, ill treated, stabbed in the back and given a taste of their own medicine.....oh how that makes my day.

Small islanders are generally warm and friendly people.
All the hullabaloo about Jamaica is just e-hype . You can pull up by any roadside cafe/bar and talk cricket and these people will love you.
My experience is good because i am a zen master chill lvl >9000.
But if you travel with the trini condescending/ haughty attitude and you express it everywhere you go, you will be met with the same attitude.
The only bad experiences i does have is in tobago.
