I think that any assertion by you that Caribbean Indians do not have serious issues with alcoholism will be met with laughter from most, and concern by those who worry about that problem.

Indos have problems of being robbed and killed by other Indians too.  You forgot to include that.

Violent crime is more likely to be committed by people who are bigger built as they inspire more fear.

It is indeed a fact that Guyanese African men and women have bigger builds than Indians.

I will rely on a survey rather than you urban legend logic. 

i fail to understand what these two facts you cite have to do with crime and race in Guyana

Mexicans are on average a comparatively small people . . . i think u have knowledge of the incidence of violent crime south of the border

this conversation is bordering on the absurd 

It is easy to google much about alcoholism and suicides and Indo Caribbean males.  Indeed which other culture has so many songs dedicated to rum..."rum til I die". etc.

If you wish to believe that blacks have worse problems with alcoholism feel free.

As to drug abuse as I stated I have no opinion on which group consumes more in Guyana, aside from those rich Portuguese boys that is.

Google of articles and blogs is not a comprehensive study nor would it qualify as evidence in any court of law.  Just as how you claimed that Black Guyanese and Indian Guyanese are on equal economic footing in the US, it is shallow and lacks the foundation in fact. 

The reality is that men who have bigger body frames, all things being equal, inspire more fear.  The biggest weapon of a violent criminal is their ability to inspire fear.  Because they usually select victims who they perceive to be weaker than they and less likely to retaliate.

Now if one is operating with a highly developed gang network, as the Mexicans have then small size is off set by organization.  But crime in Guyana, aside from drug dealing, is not that organized.

OK MR dont know what 10% of 43% is.  One googles to find credible sources and then one reads those sources and draws a conclusion.  Google is the new library.

I find it interesting that have yet to furnish any solid proof about the comparative socio economic status about Indo and Afro Caribbean people in NYC, aside from some long irrelevant notion that "Indians save more".  That ended 2 generations ago.  Indians are as much in the consumerist society, in Guyana and in the USA as every one else is.  That old story of the Indian walking around in rags with his bundle packed with cash is over 50 years old.

And aside from the few wealthy business people most had little to leave for their kids.  This is why over 90% of Guyanese Indians in NYC do not own businesses.

Basically all your comments reveal is that your ego is highly dependent on some notion that blacks are inferior to Indians.  Then you accuse me of being a racist??

dude, other than domestic violence, what class of confrontational, violent [Black on Indo?] crime are you talking about?

today's violent, career criminal is an ARMED, desperate sort who is not shy about unleashing deadly force on his victim . . . of whatever size or race

And yet an armed criminal will sooner mug a man who they think is weaker than they are.  Ask any little old lady.

The gun is there mainly to scare, not to be used, because murder carries higher penalties than robbery.  A strong man might be "silly" enough to fight and force them to shoot.

Also not every bandit has a gun.  A knife is still a mugger's tool.

I am talking about robberies and as far as I know all races are victimized, though it does appear from newspaper articles that in Guyana Indians are the usual targets of Indian bandits. Whereas blacks rob who they wish. You can try to figure out why.

CaribJ, let's cut to the chase . . . is it your position that the limiting factor governing the level of Indo on Afro "robberies" in Guyana is relative (average) physical size?

A lil "piece" has neutralized the advantage of size.  And besides, lil Chinese guys would kick the ass of most bigger Black guys due to martial arts training.

Crime is not about size, it's about mindset.  Blacks have a mindset of entitlement and as such seek to take what they perceived as "theirs" in there eyes, they justify "taking" it.  Most of the rest of humanity view it as "thief".

Also, Blacks attack in packs.  I knew a tough Indian guy kick the shit out of Taps at the Cultural Center in 1980 but then about 10 of his guys joined in and beat him.

aaarrrite baseman . . . we already know how u and de other 'anti-PNC' Indo racists feel bout blackman

rest lil

Fixed.

Redux based on newspaper reports Indo bandits attack Indos.  Afro bandits attack every body.  It doesnt appear as if Afros have much reason to fear Indo bandits, though Indos have clear reasons to fear them, as many Corentyne fishermen will tell you.

I offered my theory about why this happens.

So baseman esplain why there are more Indo criminals than before.  If you deny this fact then you will reveal that you are indeed a racist.

Note that Indos attack Indos, but then it doesnt matter to you, because the attacker is not black.

Yes if an Indo rapes an Indo it isnt a rape.  Only if a black man rapes an Indo does it qualify.  And ditto for criminal activity.  Based on newspaper accounts Indo gangs are usually quite large.  Afros will attack in 2 and 3.

The thing is that baseman knows full well that more Indo youths are turning to crime.  He doesnt care the slightest that their victims are almost always Indian.

By the way baseman Indos will attack in LARGER groups than will blacks.

Yea, I do care and hope they get a good kick-ass like those Buxton terrorist. Baseman never sympathize with criminals regardless of race.

And yet you paint a picture of Afros attacking INdos because they are lazy and completely omit the fact that Indos are also being attacked by fellow Indos.
