Reply to "None of us who were born in Guyana are ‘Indians’ or ‘Africans’- Charles Sugrim"

We are not denying the role of ethnicity. What we are saying is that you are NOT an Indian.  You are an Indo GUYANESE.  You shouldn't be  centered in India. You are centered in GUYANA. 

60% of the Guyanese population do not identify themselves as being of Indian descent, which means that those who do need to figure out an identity which links them to the rest of the population.

Most Indo Guyanese have a fictional identity of themselves begin connected to India, and lambaste Afro Guyanese who lack a similar interest in "Africa". 

Afro Guyanese are GUYANESE whose ancestry is mainly from the African continent.

People like yourself view yourself to be an Indian who just happened to be born in Guyana.   This is why you lambasted Moses when he said that he was a GUYANESE.   You just cannot understand why he would offer this as his core identity and his ethnicity as an Indo Guyanese being secondary to this.
