And you cannot deny that the type of ethnic identity which many Indo Guyanese adopted is unique among the coastal peoples of Guyana. Africans, mixed, Portuguese and Chinese focus on their "Guyaneseness", eith their ethnicity being secondary.
Most Indo Guyanese focus on their "Indianness" and its only encounters with Asian Indians, after migration to North America, has moderated that somewhat.
Portuguese Guyanese live a few hundred miles from Brazil and yet no real identification with them.
Afro Guyanese do NOT organize around "Africanness" except on Emancipation Day. Even then its so clumsy that the continental Africans who live in Guyana find it either pathetic or hilarious, and I doubt that Afro Guyanese care as to what they would think on this. That which is "African" among Afro Guyanese, exists within a "creole" context with no connection to any specific African ethnic group.
