After some deliberation I removed the 50% reference and changed it to "half". The CIA figure seems a little low, but the term "mixed" is fairly loaded and many mixed people often identify with one group or another. I have read 47% Indian and 47% black elsewhere, which is essentially a breakdown if you blend the mixed category. Nonetheless, this proves my point that Trinis are hardly some monolithic group. The same can be said for Jamaica, though to a lesser extent. Thank you for responding, Ren. After some deliberation I removed the 50% reference and changed it to “half”.

Love that your trying to promote the culture but please do so accurately. Trinidad is NOT 50% south asian, a common misconception. Refer to https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/td.html where you will see that indians and blacks in Trinidad are almost equal in the population. Hi.
