His premise is that Indo Guyanese are not Indians. They weren't born in India, and face it, culturally they are different.
Afro Guyanese have less of an issue with this, as most don't even see Africa is relevant except in a historical sense.
NYC has a huge population from India and I see little evidence that these people feel that Indo Guyanese have anything to do with them except for a shared love of cricket, a British game.
Caribjee bai, tell dem NYC Indians that their children and grandchildren who were not born in India would be the same like the Guyanese.
