I tired of people speaking for me.

Why do people ask

'ya kno wha I hate bout Bajans?'

Or

'Bajans is the worst because'

This pisses me off. I am a Bajan and I take personal offence when I am painted inappropiately, especially if by a fellow Bajan. It is nonsense. And they site character flaws common to everyone irregardless of race, religion, nationality and/or social class. What causes this? I think its ignoance (don't get all hot and bothered get a dictionary), caused by lack of socialising outside your own kind.. So you see all yours flaws and try to impose them on others.

This is one of the reasons I encourage an on-campus university experience. Travel a bit as well, not just to shop, sit at a bar. Meet people and interact, and recognize that we all face very similar challenges day to day.
