Caribbean

The Caribbean is a subregion of the Americas that includes the Caribbean Sea and its islands.

Because of a history of European colonization and immigration, the Atlantic slave trade from Africa, and indentured servitude from Asia, the modern Caribbean is one of the most ethnically diverse regions on the planet.

To be white in the Caribbean is to have money, power, and the freedom to do anything or nothing - it is, in many cases, to occupy the top rung of society.
