But is a logical question dey asking doh.

All Trinibagonians are West Indian

BUT

All West Indians are NOT Trinibagonian


Yuh see how de English language even in Trini lingo could tie yuh up?

Maybe de question is meant tuh include de "foreigners" on de board.  De ones and dem who doh have a TT Passport and cyar get one easy.

[ribbit]

oho - dis is a trick poll. the only logical choices are west indian, both or neither. allyuh voting Trinbagonian get ketch. 

[WestCoast]

[truetrini]

As a pseudo-racist I saying one time:  "I am not any kind ah indian!"

[legal alien]

i still look forward to when we united politically. honestly, i wish it were originally so. but at the end of the day, i'm proud of my trini heritage, and well, like it or not, its trini time now!...

what is the purpose of this thread

ya know it have threads that after ya read it, is either ya more knowledgeable,  ya laugh, it turn to page 15 of cuss out, or ya learn how to fix something, memories.
Wha is the purpose of this one

it is a sociological and anthropological analysis of how persons born in the islands now known as Trinidad and Tobago view themselves.

Do you regard yourself as parochial or do you view your self as a regional citizen?  Do you view yourself as superior to other persons dwelling in smaller, less populated countries?  I read a book one time by Elizabeth Kruempelmann called "The Global Citizen,"  excellent reading, for those inclined to read such a book.

This question/poll was specifically designed to see which of you are among the growing class of Global citizens, studious affections, cultural ambassadors, or are you one of those "we better dan dem," crowd?

This poll makes you ponder the question:  " Am I prepared for an increasingly global future?"  It begs:  "Are you ambitious, confident, adventurous, flexible and understanding of other cultures?" 

Or it asks in a rather forthright manner:  "Am I an ignorant lout, uncaring about my neighbour, the foreign, insipid bastard?"

So you see my dear Trinicana, this poll does more than ask one question, it questions our very character, our outlook, and our prejudices.

I like, do you like?  Nice!

some of us were born in Trinidad and some  in Tobago...so at the end of the day we Trinibagoians righ ?
so you mean to tell me that if you won't born in either island, and let's say you are Bajan, you not entitled to answer in this thread right ?

maybe i'm not seein your point of view TT, but as a Trinidadian that use to live in one of the islands that form the West Indies, I consider myself both.  So since i'm assuming we all fall under this class, wha is the purpose of this thread.
