Bajans and Jamaicans don't like each other. Same goes for Bahamians and Jamaicans and Trinis and Jamaicans. So for and so on. A lot it of stems from Jamaica being historically being the premier island in the anglophone nations. Another reason is back in the 50s-60s there was supposed to be a political union between all colonies of The United Kingdom called the West Indies Federation. The goal was to become independent of Britain. The headquarters of the group was supposed to be in Trinidad and Tobago but Jamaica believe that the Headquarters should be in Jamaica. The group disbanded and so the commonly held sentiment was that Jamaica felt as if it was better than everybody else or the better word is stush. Hence why it's such a common occurrence that Jamaicans get treated bad in these nations when they go their to vacation or live.​

Almost, but not quite. That uptown mentality some yardies have is an issue. It's not unique. Everybody has their stush people. What it took a bit to learn is that regular people don't really care one way or the other, let the stush people talk and expose themselves, it's always better to know who is who. Black Americans are still struggling with that, but they will learn. Once Caribbean people started travelling and meshing and realizing that we're all viewed the same way anyway, that small-mindedness has been dying out fast.

Travel has always been the greatest educator for us all.

Never said it was unique. I'm explaining the history and the origin of the stereotype and the view other islanders hold of Jamaicans. Not validating it, not adding any credence to it. None of that, just explaining.​

Jamaicans are notorious for trying to claim everything and everyone sometimes

There must be some ancestral relationship with the Bay Area.
