imo we shouldn't include Colombians
imo we shouldn't include Colombians
Agreed. Not only is Colombia not a full member of the CC, but unlike Belize and Guyana its culture is hardly influenced by Caribbeans. Just my opinion.
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 caribbeanIts 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.
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.imo we shouldn't include Colombians
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 USWhy, because they speak Spanish?

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.

Good point but some countries are PHYSICALLY in north America but considered part of Caribbean Culture.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribbean_region_of_Colombia

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.
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.
