Again note any nations that are apart of the Caribbean union whether they are nations of the mainland like Belize and Guyana CAN be added to this thread.
To qualify. An island must physically be apart of the Caribbean or a full member of the CC like Belize and Guyana.

imo we shouldn't include Colombians
Its not Colombian woman per se, but Cartegena women of Colombia, they have a strong Spanish Caribbean influence and consider themselves Caribbean.
It would be the same as the some parts of Central America who have Caribbean influence and are considered the Caribbean.IE Lima in Costa Rica and Colon in Panama,and other parts of Central America.

Parts of Colombia do have Caribbean influence, not West Indian, but Spanish Caribbean influence.Some of them would even descend from Colombian equivalent of cocolos.

Im not an expert but if we were talking about Venezuela or Panama id agree. Colombia ehh. The other central american countries have established links to the caribbean
Why, because they speak Spanish? If we include South and Central American countries like Guyana, Belize and Suriname then why not. Colombia, Panama, Venezuela etc are just as much Caribbean as those other territories. Their coastlines touch the Caribbean sea also. I've met people from those countries that consider themselves Caribbean.
I for one don't consider any of those countries Caribbean and I would say most Caribbean people feel that way. If you aren't from an island in the Caribbean, I don't consider you Caribbean.
Colombia does not have the cultural links to the Caribbean like a Belize, Guyana, Suriname, or Panama. It has nothing to do with language
if we include Colombia we need to include honduras and the US

Like I've said I don't consider any country that isn't an Island as part of the Caribbean. Guyana and Suriname are South American countries and Belize and Panana are Central American countries.
The reason why Belize and Guyana can be considered in this thread is because their part of the Caribbean community and so they qualified for this thread. See the qualifications in the OP.
Good point but some countries are PHYSICALLY in north America but considered part of Caribbean Culture.
See Bahamas.
YES if you look at your MAP The Bahamas and Mexico are part of North America
But culturally The Bahamas is Caribbean and Mexico is Latin/Central American
Too Many IGNORANT people like to reserve the term "Caribbean" for english speaking territories only
Some parts may consider themselves caribbean because said part has caribbean ancestry/roots and culture. Costa-Rica is the perfect example of thisColombia does not have the cultural links to the Caribbean like a Belize, Guyana, Suriname, or Panama. It has nothing to do with language
And before you argue with me know that I have been to Caribbean Carnival in Costa-Rica.... TWICE.
WHen you have a minute do some research on a town called Limon in Costa Rica. Most of the people there are black and consider themselves Caribbean. Ive been there many times. Beautiful place. Poor but beautiful
