Reply to "Dr Bato on a Rage..."

Who is demanding of Bayto that ANY ONE give up their multi cultural identity.  Folks simply ask that the diversity of these identities be recognized, that he admits that each ethnicity isnt a nation state on to its self, and the very multicultural identity of Guyana suggests that there is tremendous diversity within each ethnic group.

 

If he believes that there is this monolithic Indian "nation" sharing geographic space with a monolithic African "nation", and a monolithic Amerindian "nation", he fools himself. 

 

In fact each one of these ethnic groups has had to make major adjustments to fit into the Guyana that we know today.  In addition each ethnic group has had to adjust to the presence, and to engage other ethnic groups. Given that 20% now self identify as mixed, and that this is the fastest growing segment, I will suggest that the boundaries are becoming increasing blurred.

 

If Bayto thinks that this is the "destruction" of Indian cultural identity he can moan all he wishes.  That horse galloped out of the stable long ago.
