When you hire a Jamaican

The Jamaicans you come across in tourist resorts are totally different from the regular everyday people.
In Toronto/Gta or in The UK they have a very negative reputation.
Yup exactly. That’s usually how these things go. Every comedian over exaggerates their story that’s what makes it funny. That’s nothing new. Each joke is obviously completely different but the similarities the jokes do have is a part of what makes it funny to. (Ie: the punchline to every joke has the Jamaican man screaming at the top of his lungs) the jokes are similar because they share a common theme.
Sure Jamaicans tend to have a negative reputation. We can be a rough and tough people but what culture or background doesn’t have some sort of negative reputation? I haven't heard of any. Like everything in life there are positives and negatives. Let’s all try to enjoy the positives.
As a woman with Jamaican roots thank you to the original poster for this! It was hilarious! Laughed until my stomach hurt!
been to Jamaica over 10 times. Used to go to a party called Sunsplash in MoBay in the 90s. Never had a problem in all my travels, and that includes drunk and disorderly conduct with my friends during the party years and many other family trips with the wife and kid. Actually just got back. Class A destination.
I work with 4 Jamaican guys and those guys are awesome, super hard workers and always with a positive attitude. They have been here 5 years now, and usually work 6 to 7 days a week.
I also used to date a gorgeous Jamaican girl when I was in my teens, and used to love going to her family get together, very friendly people.

I don't have a negative opinion about Jamaicans living in Canada but I went once to Ocho Rios and while the resort and the surrounding area was beautiful, I hated the constant sales harassment as soon as I left the compound. Too many other tropical options are available so I never went back nor have any desire to return.
