What defines a typical Guyanese? Is it the laissez faire disposition combined with the motivation for success? Is it the enthusiasm for upbeat music - reggae, calypso, soca, chutney, Indian? It can't be physical attributes, only be behavioral.

A simple down to earth human being who believes in helping his fellow human being. We were not all born with the same ability to battle through daily life on our own. This my opinion only.

So, a shitta-batty lil bai who jump and call people "typical Guyanese" with intent to be derogatory, should get two bax?

We can all use a couple of baxes sometimes to set us straight. I always believe we should first work hard for a living and if we need a handout or a hand up, we should ask for help. I have offered help to many Guyanese without looking back for any favors. I might just have some strong opinions of people of ALL races and ethnicities. No hatred though.

You got kids?...teach them not to be re racist...

And yet your bias towards Indians is obvious.  Does the Afro side of your family illtreat you?  Quick as you are to discuss how Indos are abused by the PNC or the Coalition you are loathe to discuss the abusiveness of the PPP towards blacks.

Not uniquely Guyanese.

A Guyanese banna would tell a joke..people would then buss up with laff..the banna would repeat the joke yet again.

A typical Guyanese is one that drinks rum, has no qualms about robbing his or her own family, and would like to get rich quick by any means.

So members of no other ethnic group would drink rum, rob their own family, and would like to get rich quick?

I bet you are speaking from personal experience.
