The indifference of the citizens makes them identify with race on all issues even the very basic ones.

The reason why Guyanese identify strongly along ethnic lines reflects their insecurity.  You have one race who thinks that they can exclude others and be concerned with their own, and then you have another who reacts against that.

So two groups live in distrust.  The rest of the population remains in horror as some of the most incompetent and corrupt governments in the Caribbean have ruled Guyana since independence.

And the record is there. In the 60s Guyana was one of the most developed British colonies with infant mortality rates LOWER than most.  This despite our damp and flood prone environment which should have resulted in worse health outcomes.

Guyana is now LAST in the English speaking Caribbean using any measure of socio economic progress.  This position didn't change in the 23 years of PPP rule, and indications are that this isn't going to change under the current batch of clowns either.
