I'm confused. If she's from the Virgin Islands, then isn't she Caribbean?
And the profile asks for her ethnicity, not race.
There are many things Candace has said and done wrong. But is this really one of them?

I took exception to her acting rather than being Caribbean. Never followed Tariq that much but if nothing else, his receipt game looks crazy

I don't understand.
If her grandma was a legal immigrant, she's not being a hypocrite.Secure Da Bag

Does Tariq not know that the Virgin Islands is US territory? Therefore, the Owens family would in fact be American. There's a British Virgin Islands as well. But either way, this is still not a problem.
I don't get the angle here.

I don't even like Tariq - but what he is saying is that she is not Black American- meaning her ancestors were not enslaved in the States - North or South.
The Virgin Islands abolished slavery in 1848.
The July 1848 slave rebellion on St. Croix, where some 5,000 blacks were free while another 17,000 remained enslaved, motivated Governor Peter von Scholten to abolished slavery.
The U.S. didn't purchase the Islands until 1916 -- and officially became the U.S. Virgin Islands in 1917.
That was 17 years before U.S. Emancipation of 4 Million Enslaved -- and U.S. didn't purchase the Virgin Islands until 52 years after Emancipation in the U.S.
So, he is saying she is not AADOS - due to her ancestors not being enslaved on U.S. soil -- as the Virgin Islands was not purchased by the U.S. until 1916.
The Virgin Islands abolished slavery in 1848.
The Danish presence in the Caribbean began in the mid-17th century, and in 1754 the islands of St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John became Danish colonies known as the Danish West Indies. Sugar was an important industry into the 19th century, and slaves were imported to provide labor for the islands’ plantations. Slavery ended in 1848, and the islands were purchased by the United States in 1916 to become the U.S. Virgin Islands in 1917.
