I so proud to be multi racial!! People are always asking me, 'What are you?' and I ask them what they mean. They would then explain, sometimes awkardly, that they desire to know my race. It's usually difficult to explain so I just say that I am Black. Howvever when I am in the mood I like to discuss my colourful and varigated ancestry. I have been blessed with Amerindian, East Indian, West African and European heritage. It's pretty cool when you think of it because I wouldn't exist if Trinidad did not experience slavery, The Cedula of Population, and Indian Indenturship. This is the same with many other Trinbagonians. As a result, of miscegnation a variety of new 'races' have been created. For example there are 'douglas' (usually used to refer to person's on both Afro & Indo Trinidadian parentage) mulattoes and 'cocoa payal' (persons of Indo and/or Afro- Trinidadian and Amerindian parentage).
