And apparently yours conformed to Afro Caribbean culture as seen in how they dress (like Afro Caribbean people) and how they dance.

What is interesting is that if you beat a drum both Indo and Afro Caribbean people dance the same.

So go pretend as if you are still an Indian and then explain all that skimpy attire and gyrating female bottoms.

True enough there is some assimilation by some Indos. But when at indo weddings or religious functions, the dress and act appropriately according to the cultural norms inherited and passed down from generation to generation. 

While it is true that AfroG's were forbidden to embrace their culture, the fact remains that now that they have free will, they still do not embrace the culture. You for example are ashamed of your Afro roots therefore you fully assimilated to European culture, even eating with knife and fork. Meanwhile the whites will privately snicker behind your back and joke that a monkey can now eat civilized.
