Indo Jamaicans, who are descended from indentures, are not better off then your average black Jamaican. So much so that they are assimilating into that population.
The point that I am making is that in Jamaica as well, Indians remained trapped on the estates longer than did Chinese, with all the negative factors that this entails.
The descendants of Indian indentures in Jamaica are no more entrepreneurial than are black Jamaicans.
