No need to leave the country. Maybe she should just spend less time around white Americans.  Some of them does get comfortable and their mouth does get loose with all kinda inappropriatenesses.

with all the moving around she has done sounds as if she is looking for her identity....the thing is she has an exit strategy as soon as things don't work out so she'll probably be searching again

Enjoyed the article. I remembered going back to T&T and experienced some backlash at a particular job because folks believed that I was 'coming to take their jobs'. It took a while but everyone was cool with me. She is young so she can return to the US if things do not work out but I hope it works out for her in TnT.

I was listening to NPR this evening, and since it was the 500th 'This American Life' show they played a couple of their most memorable clips over the years. One of the clips reminded me of this thread so I went back and found the original episode. At the time when katrina hit I heard rumblings and grumblings but I wasn't living among black people and somehow wasn't tuned in. So hearing this now was poignant to me.  After the Flood

i didn't want to be a cynic but i thought about this also.   on a side note i remember years ago reading an article in a local daily about ato boldon's wife at the time having to get used to the pace of trini life.
