But as much as we tell ourselves that we nuh promote stereotypes, all now mi a catch miself.


Like last month mi de a work. We have 3 Black woman in our crew. One from Kenya, one from Nigeria, and one from Ghana. So mi de pon di bus an a try fi match which one is which.

One a dem loud and boasy an ting, one quiet quiet and one jus regula.

So mi alreay mek up mi mind seh di loud one mussi Nigerian, and quiet one Kenyan and di Ghanian a di regula one. Mi mek up mi mind but mi neva seh nutting. Mi keep it to miself.

One a mi co-worka dem a bawl up Kimmy! (Nigerians name offa di crew list) and address di lound lady who turn out to be Kenyan! bawlout

And some next eediot smaddy have di nerve fi say to di poor gyal &quot;You don't act like a Nigerian&quot; rolleyes


Well at least when mi fall fi stearotype mi have di decency to keep di thought to miself.

Aye sah. frown</div></div>
