Portuguese and Chinese arrived in Guyana as indentures. So why aren't we talking about high suicides and alcoholism and domestic violence.
Rather than thinking that you are better than blacks I suggest that you focus on why Indians have under performed other indentures.
And yes Ravi Dev and many others will tell you that its a lie that Indians in Guyana are better off than blacks. I cannot speak for what happens in Canada but in NYC Indo and Afro Caribbean immigrants have equivalent levels of economic success, even though it can be argued that as blacks, the latter will face more racism. If Indos were better off Guyanese would significantly outperform Jamaicans and they do NOT!
