What is ah true trini? These days is somebody who looks other than what they are actually mixed with....
I will say this for me, I am trini, trini, trini!
Dad:
Scottish man migrates and has children with local spanish/amerindian woman, their daughter has children with black man, thus meh father.
Mom:(this one harder)
Chinese man migrates and marries indian woman, their son has a child with black woman whose grandfather was an Irish immigrant, thus meh mother.
Me, I look like ah "reds" dat have spanish somewhere in there(so they say)
Meh sister, look like ah straight up indian.
I love it. I can cook all kinda ting, know ah little of the other languages, know alot about the other cultures and where my ancestors came from. It was so benficial to me when I came to live in London. I can hang out and relate with the indians, the chinese, the spanish girl round de corner, and of course the other caribbeans. Thank God for growing up in sweet TT.
