D Trinidad has greater national integration than us.
 
We are completely fractured and yes, maintain the kind of racism not known elsewhere except in the era of slavery. Both Indians and Africans are culturally disposed to be presumptuous that they are of superior breeding and intellect.

So we should examine why Trinidad has greater national integration than we do.  Aside from an almost nonexistent Amerindian population the numbers are similar to ours.  

What is most obvious is that Trinidad never lost its upper middle intellectual class the way that Guyana did.  So there is a more vigorous civic society that holds both the PNM and the UNC to account.  There is also a larger ethnic cross over vote.  Maybe also the Afro+mixed is larger than it is in Guyana.

But the Afro and Indo populations have the same roots as they do in Guyana.  

I also dont think that either group suffers from a superiority complex as both will grovel when the white man arrives.
