I would say apart of the problem. There is an assumption by some tourists that every Jamaican is there to serve, meet and welcome them. A few can't even deal with the fact that there are Jamaicans who are doing as well or better than they are. Noone shows the very 'real' Jamaica with those nice, big, houses and pretty cars. While these boards are run and dominated by American tourists/voice, there is also another side. That being said, when the American dollar is supporting your economy, sometimes it might be necessary to grin and bear it.
Tourists-those taking trips lasting 7-14 days.
Be it in Jamaica or US, not many black women, I know , care for blondie having first shot at 'HER' man. The Jamaican men can be extremely disrespectful, chatting up a lady in front of her man. Weed induced tourists perpetuate the myth of ALL Jamaicans are nice/friendly, setting others up for unexpected encounters. I was pretty pissed at the one who asked if I had a day off while at a resort. Raatid, I am still asking God to forgive for my reply.
