i only know two Hondurans (1 is black) and plenty Colombians (none are black if it matters), i've never heard them say they were Caribbeans;I've met several Costa Ricans, Hondurans, Belizeans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Guyanese who consider themselves Caribbean. I told them that they weren't and they argued that they were.
Check out my list, see if you agree
Colombians from the coastal regions consider themselves to be Caribbean.

I NEVER in my life heard a Colombian and especially Honduran consider themselves Caribbean... I had a close friend who was Honduran and he never considered himself Caribbean. He and others of his nationality identified with central Americans like Mexicans and Guatemalans to the max. Their culture also did not resemble any Caribbean influence. You must be talking about those black ones that are of recent Caribbean ancestral like I think @Dip stated.
Guyanese and Belizeans CAN identify as Caribbean or even West Indian since their culture is mostly that... And they also politically identify with other Caribbean nations.
But they're not the majority of Colombians and their population is quite small. And I believe @Dip even stated their of recent Caribbean ancestry. This Colombian girl I met in college never mentioned she was Caribbean nor did her culture resemble that of Caribbean culture.
at the 7:28 mark - Rita Verreos who was Miss Venezuela 1998 talked about Venezuela being a Caribbean country. She mentioned it multiple times in the interview. I don't have the time stamps.
Im gonna need you to DEFINE caribbeanCaribbean Community
Those nations in the dark green can be included in this thread since they are apart of the community and culturally Caribbean.
To me Caribbean are nations that are in the Caribbean sea. How you exclude Cuba and include Bahamas in the Caribbean is delusional.
The Bahamas are technically in North America.
Cuba = Caribbean
Dominican Republic = Caribbean
Puerto Rico = Caribbean
Seems like you'r eone of them cats that reserves the term caribbean to English speaking islands or something
Read the note in the OP...
I'm taking about which countries qualify for this thread.
From what i've researched, most of the Caribbean migrants to Panama/Costa Rica were Anglophone or Martinique/Guadeloupe, were many Haitians there too?
