We're still a Caribbean country with our own culture and traditions just like the other Caribbean countries, we're just not independent yet. Asking what we have in common with the WI is a stupid [censored] question. I wouldn't go Bermuda or to the Cayman Islands and expect to see tea and crumpets and British accents just because they're a British territory so why ayo tink we is some yankee place?! </div></div>

LOL@ Tea and Crumpets!

If you smart enough to find a jamaicans.com forum to ask that question then you smart enough to go do some damn research and stop making assumptions about Caribbean islands.

And to give you a short answer, we have similar dialects, foods, religious traditions, and common bloodlines with the surrounding WI islands. Again, go look it up if you need more specifics.... chuuuups actin like we is some johnny come lately country, when the Danish West Indies (our former name) been around for 300 f*kin years!!! </div></div> May be because Jamaicans.com predates all of those you mention.
.....and is a primary source of information on the topic,while the ones you mention aresimply collectors of information from sources like Jamaicans.com.
Or maybe because she wanted opinions, from those who're likely to know and she can trust.
...and not definitions that will be to superficial may not be accurate?
