D2 posted:I would like to see what metrics were used to estimate poverty rates here, I have seen other estimates that has us way above the 40 percent rates for all groups with Amerindians in the high 70%. Amerindians were listed as being some 80 percent in poverty only a few years ago; what improvements were put in place to change t hat number? I do not know of any. If anything their quality of life would be tenuous to say the least. I doubt indians are having it better also given some 25k were put on the bread line with the closing of the sugar estate ( counting full and part time). And their income re circulated in the community incrementing the living standards of many more. I would say the standard of living of Indians on a best estimate has fallen below africans.
Not going to challenge the other estimates you saw or even Django's. I do not know the exact numbers. But what I do know from observation and empirical evidence is that Guyana is not a society where most Indians are wealthy while blacks, Amerindians etc. are at the bottom of the barrel and relegated to the ranks of criminals who rob the "wealthy" indians.
Whatever the stats, ALL Guyanese ketching hell and members of ALL races are suffering. My intention was to point to the myth peddled here by these racist Hindutva dogs like fagli man and his crew that black people are subhumans who are lazy, poor and don't work while Indians are "progressive" paragons of virtue.
