Talk:Guyanese people

Bias

"The reason for this mass exodus were the highly oppressive policies of Forbes Burnham, former president and dictator who was widely regarded as a rigger of elections.[1]" 1. Really?! 2. Citation links to OECD spreadsheet 3. Sentence contradicts the following paragraph —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blakdogg (talk • contribs) 22:03, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Although it does need better citation, it is, at very least, a factor to be considered as to why people chose to leave the country during the '60s, '70s and '80s. Alexkumar (talk) 12:31, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

No. It is opinion that tries to masquerade as fact. The sentence claims it is "the reason", it does not say a factor or even one of the reasons. The paragraph does not then go on to explain what were these "highly oppressive policies", that chased Guyanese away. It also claims that he was widely regarded as a rigger of elections, by whom?. blakdogg (talk) 15:38, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

One can only keep bleeping like a sheep "Bias" on every comment about past politics and economics in Guyana so many times. This is not new information. While the rigging of elections is always harder hard to prove in any country Canadian and probably American election officials had to step in to assure a fair elections in the late 1980's or early 1990's Please people stop it. the information is out there, please reference it and add.

Her's one reference, but I dont know how to add reference. I will try later http://guyanajournal.com/Rodney_ZB.html.

This is a article on Walter Rodney one of the most Brilliant Guyanese/ Caribbean people who got the Burnham touch in the 1970's, when he tried to organize politically, and to bring Indo guyanese and Afo guyanese closer together.Starbwoy (talk) 17:55, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Possible Deletion

• I can't believe that this article has been nominated for deletion after about 2 minutes of existing, it clearly hasn't been given a chance. Why not just go and nominate British people, Brazilian people or anything else:s.

An admittedly valid argument... I apologize for acting so quickly and rashly. Upon considering your point, I certainly see that it would make no sense to stamp on the growth of this article. No, that's not to say I don't still think they're rather redundant... :) Pip (talk) 22:13, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Origins in India

"Guyana is a diverse nation, 43.5% of the population is of East Indian origin (Biharis,Tamils,Telugus). Please provide reference to original places in India. Like most Black Guyanese, most Indian people were clueless about where they came from besides the fact that they are racially Indian, until recently. Besides the BEHARRY last name that some Guyanese people have and the food, which can easily be traced because of the internet. What about the rest of the list there,Tamils,Telugus? Where can we find information. Reference need to be provided for this. Someone please go and check the archive rotting away in Guyana, or the Archives in London.Starbwoy (talk) 16:16, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Bias should be removed

whether we want the truth or not it's there. You can get the information orally from individuals it effected, or from American publications that are now online. Your Choice!!

Leona Lewis

Not from Guyana. Her father was Guyanese. Her mother was not. She was not born in Guyana, either. I do not know what her current citizenship is, but I imagine it is UK citizenship.

This would imply that she is not Guyanese. Just because her father was Guyanese, does not make her Guyanese. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.187.244.178 (talk) 17:53, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
