Assist us first, Mr Vice Chancellor

I hope that the vice chancellor can back up his statement with proper research and/or evidence.

What if this statement was made by an American and directed to us in the Caribbean? How would the vice chancellor respond? One wonders if the vice chancellor is aware that we in Trinidad and Guyana vote exclusively on race in our general elections.

We always practise “ethnic solidarity” when choosing a Prime Minister. So maybe the vice chancellor should try to assist us in the Caribbean before labelling the Americans. As they say, “if you live in glass houses don’t throw stones.”
