DeGrasse is not Jamaican. The police are not allowed to say Jamaican and Somali's are most of the culprits behind shootings. There have been articles written about this in other papers where police were consulted however.
The last article I read was from Royson James in one of the Caribbean papers, who is Jamaican and he admitted that most of the shootings are done by those of Jamaican origin but it's less than 1 percent of the population.
I'd like to see your proof that Jamaicans are among the most educated and accomplished people in Toronto and are better than everyone else like you say. Non Jamaican Caribbean people are way more likely not to be living in the "bad areas," as opposed to Jamaicans. This is common knowledge in The Caribbean community.
StatsCan uses the phrase "Canadians of Jamaican Origin" in this study
It basically states what I've been saying. Jamaicans are very likely to have low incomes and not finish high school. You're being butthurt about identity politics rather than addressing the problem in order to fix this.

No, this is not common knowledge. Only
badmind utterances by those from the Eastern Caribbean who still blame Jamaicans for the failure of the West Indian Federation. Small minded.
There are far more Jamaicans or people of Jamaican origin than any other Caribbean people, so it stands to reason there would be more criminals. There are also far more accomplished ones like Michael Lee-Chin and the late G Raymond Chang, both of whom came to Canada as adults but are rarely referred to as Jamaicans, if at all...in the case of Chang...who isn't even a black Jamaican, just to illustrate how silly this is.
Your police chief is of Jamaican origin, but is he really a Jamaican? The man who he beat for the job (Peter Sloly) is from Jamaica though. So too the first black police chief of a major Canadian city - Devon Culnis (Winnipeg). Most of the newscasters, bank managers, doctors (related to and know a few of these) etc etc etc.
General Colin Powell is of Jamaican descent. Is he lauded as a Jamaican by those on the other side who wish to prop him up? Or just plain ole American...and Republican at that.
Canadian of Jamaican origin is a weak way of blaming Jamaicans for Canadian problems. How far back do you go to trace Jamaican origin? 2 or 3 generations? Any other qualifiers? Just one parent? If the other parent is Irish, stick with the Jamaican one for the label? Look at which parent is the mother or the father? Why not stick to born and raised Jamaicans and then label the rest what they are - Canadian? Most of those dudes have never even been to Jamaica.
I am not going to mention Canadian sport because you'll just auto file that under the less likely to finish high school
Shall we call Malcolm Gladwell a Jamaican?
I mean, what do you consider PK Subban???
Is Andre DeGrasse Trini or Bajan? Or is he just plain ole Canadian?
Maybe you should worry about black people as a whole instead of worrying about which corner of the globe some of them may come from. Maybe that way you can fix the problem. All those dudes I see popping up on my TV are probably just plain ole Afro-Canadians until you tell me they are immigrants.
