Indo Carribean people what racial box do you check in USA?

Indo-Caribbean people, what racial category do you typically select on forms?

As someone of mixed heritage, I choose categories that highlight minority groups to help address inequalities in the U.S.

However, my fully Indo-Caribbean friends struggle with this. They don't identify with the 'Indian' category and instead select 'other.' I'm curious if it would be reasonable for Indo-Caribbeans to check 'Latin American' given that, although not Hispanic, the category might be seen as fitting due to geographical and regional associations. What are your thoughts on this, especially in the American context?

Dominica: I would like to visit Dominica so doing research.

Hi - I am very well traveled and want to go to Dominca. I don't know much about it and am trying to learn before planning a trip. As a first time visitor should I stay in Roseau? (2) Get a hotel vs AirBnb? (3) Is it helpful to rent a vehicle vs trying to use taxis or buses? (4) What other recommendations / things should I know?

Taïnos/Arawaks and Kalinagos are the same?

No because I'm doing my research, and it is said that the Kalinagos conquered Arawaks and they assimilated. But I also heard that Kalinagos are Arawak because its a linguistic group. Are Taïnos and Kalinagos the same? And when Christophe Colomb arrive on the islands, did he meet Taïnos AND kalinagos?

New to the subject. What is the regional definiton of the Caribbeans

I'm sorry if I sound dumb or anything. It's just that I'm presenting the indigenous people of the Caribbeans in a work. But I have a hard time to find the regions of it. Like the territory. Everytime I search it up, sometimes it just gives me island, sometimes it includes the Venezuela. It is important for me to present the indigenous people that lived in the Caribbeans, but what ARE THE CARIBBEANS. Voila thats my question, anyways thank you in advance.

Is this the RIGHT one?

Question regarding tax (Antigua)

Hey!

I just had a question regarding tax.

If I were to live in Antigua (as a previous UK Tax resident) - and I moved my company to be registered within Antigua (for example, a cleaning company) - would my income generated from this company be subject to tax? And if so, how much?

I take it if I was to keep my company within the uk, but live in Antigua, the income generated and paid from the UK would not be subject to any taxes, but I would be liable to pay the standard taxes in the UK, as if I was still living there?

Thanks in advance - I ask this as I’m swimming with the idea of moving to Antigua in the next few years but am just doing research on how I can do this. Thanks in advance. :)

Not sure best place to go for a family with 4 with 2 kids for end of April 2024.

Looking to get away from the city life and go to a beach, but wasn't sure where to go for a family trip with 2 kids 4 and 7 years old. I picked out Aruba and Tobago so far. But maybe there is another family friendly place I just don't know about. Not into resorts as we like to explore outside if possible. Also read random posts about crime here and there but I'm not too sure what to believe now a days.

Investing, Sovereign or Dependency

Is there any pros or cons to investing in a island that is a dependency to a European Nation like Anguilla (UK), Aruba (NL), Caymans (UK) or sovereign states like Barbados, Grenada, SVG, Trinidad etc.

Like is there better protections in the European dependencies, are they safer, property rights etc.

Coming from someone with US Nationality.

Buying property in st Maarten/ st Martin

How much does the average house for go in Saint Martin/ st Maarten? I’m looking to buy a house in Saint Maarten but I can’t find any housing anywhere All the houses I see are multi million dollar homes, do the Dutch and French folks on this island only rent homes?

Are there any houses for around $100,000?

I’m looking to move my family from Haiti to st Maarten and my wife and I will be joining them in a couple years after I apply for my permanent residency.

What are you bringing to a Caribbean food party?

Saw this question in r/AskEurope and thought I’d shift it here.. the entire Caribbean is having one huge food party, what dish will you bring to the table from your culture? :)

Bonus Question: Do you tend to eat food from other Caribbean countries that is not your own often or at least once in a while?

To barrel, or not to barrel? (Grenada 4-week holiday)

Hi all, this is a Caribbean-folks question overall and non necessarily Grenada-specific :-)

I'm arranging my mum's trip from the UK down to Grenada, where she's spending 4-weeks.

She has some items (clothes and tinned food) that she wants to send down in a barrel, to arrive just after she gets there (or just before is fine too).

My question is:

  • Is it worth sending a barrel down, or better to try and squeeze some of these items in the suitcase (if weight allows), while shipping the rest by an alternative method? (Especially if the barrel may not be all-the-way-full.)
  • Have any of you had any difficulties with barrels arriving on time (especially by boat), or issues with items being damaged or mysteriously 'gone missing' at the arrival point?
  • And, if any UK people do reply: What was the general cost with your provider, and is it worth doing aeroplane delivery instead (for quicker arrival)?

The company recommended was JP Logistics Solutions: UK Useful Guides - JP Logistics Solutions

In many ways, I know that it's probably wishful thinking that those items wouldn't over-weigh her suitcase, but I'm trying to think whether I can cut costs, and bypass the need to ship (potentially small) items separately.

Man from the Bahamas

Hey guys I’m talking to this guy and his birthday is coming up at the end of this month and I wanted to get home something nice. I wanted to get him a bracelet but I wanted to ask him if he would wear jewelry 😭 because he always talking about being a man or sum.

He’s a car guy and also in tech. I’m open to all suggestions.
