I have just been told that I am not eligible to be on the Heal D research study despite being Caribbean in origin.
My family are descendants of the East Indian Indentured people's, and have been Caribbean for over 100 years.
I want to highlight that there is a massive under representation and mis representation of Asian Caribbeans.
Not being black, does not make me any less Caribbean and therefore statistically at a higher level of becoming Type 2 Diabetic.
In fact my family and fellow Asian Caribbean people may possibly be at higher risk as we are genetically Indian origin, as well as Caribbean.
To have this relayed back to me was awkward but more to the point, this lack of foresight by researchers, when I am trying to help with this trial is offensive to me.
Why should my nuanced ethnicity make me ineligible because I don't fit in their idea of a box?
Any studies of Caribbean health are few and far between and should also include all of the political movement that came before, making the island's all unique in their genetic make up. It's not our fault our ancestors were enslaved/ indentured/ disempowered.
I have had to deal with this all of my life. My ethnicity is not 100% black nor is it 100% brown.
I don't seem to "fit" anywhere.
The problem seems to be the narrow mindedness or perhaps laziness of those that formulate these studies without accepting the wider meaning and effects migration... forced or not.
I have Hispanic and Chinese Caribbean origin friends and I'm sure they would also agree that this segregation is unwarranted and needless to say thoughtless and unfair... and several other words...
What do you think? Is it fair that Caribbean is exclusively referencing people of one origin over another, when we all make up the diaspora of the beautiful islands?
