- Lorna Chin is an avid Jamaican media and cultural commentator, her Instagram posts captures the nuance of Jamaican culture, captivating a global audience with her controversial take on contemporary and historical nature of the country. Her career spans across media and film industry. You can catch her most recent gripe with her followers about cultural appropriation, motto of Jamaica, “out of many one” and the geopolitical influences of China on the Jamaica’s economy. Ms. Chin is of Chinese Hakka heritage, and is a Star Trekker with a mounted wall collection. Ms. Chin attended Holy Childhood High in Jamaica, and also a graduate of the University of Miami, where she studied film and theatre. Her work appeared in major network series such as Burn Notice, USA Network, and the Little Theatre Company in Jamaica.
She needs to be an ambassador! There is a lot to be learned, and she's learning a lot.
Lorna thank you for being a real Jamaican.
Are you serious? The woman weh a call unno idiot 😮.
i do taxi work for fifteen years usually at embassys and miss chin said and answers everything i embrace i love sis
Lorna you are so right I really remember as a young girl out Jamaican dollar was so strong over the US, I remember those days there are gone will it ever come back ? when you look at our country we are our own enemies because as you said our motto is out of many one people.
Jamaica not build up of only Black people we have so many different race within our small island we need to embrace that and unite❤❤❤❤
Lorna Chin you are not Chinese by nationality (birth) in the same way I am not American by birth. U are a true Jamaican.
That depends on her birth certificate passport don't make you Jamaican she identify as a Jamaican I am a Jamaican very different
She is a real 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 big up all Jamaican Chinese ..
She's immigrants from China living in Jamaican
The term "Jamaican" refers to a person's nationality and not the race. So, Jamaica consist of african descent Jamaican, chinese descent Jamaican, east indian Jamaican, german Jamaican, jewish Jamaican etc. So, Jamaica belongs to everyone who has Jamaican citizenship not specifically to a race in the country. It is multi racial.
Love her. She is more patriotic than most people
Like who who you know as a Jamaican that hates Jamaican stop talk foolishness she not Jamaican no matter what no one said show her proof of being Jamaican and I don't want to see her passport 😂😂😂you people are crazy putting down your own for colonizers
Thank you miss Lorna ; because Voices like yours are Why the World can hear us.
Excellent interview. Thank you for sharing this.
The schools need to teach our history
Yes so people like this lady get shut down as soon as they open there mouth
Its not her job to defend all chinese no more than it is all one black person defend all blacks
I agree with Lorna, she know exactly what she is talking about, God bless you Lorna.
Lol 😂is she denying that she is Asian too
U kn ur stuff lady am Jamaican born living in America I kn a lot of Jamaican Chinese born and own a lot of the business in Jamaica big up one ❤
Lorna, god bless you keep up the hard work you are a true Jamaican. Thank you so much for highlighting the facts.
What a super conversation and staunch awareness of our Caribbean heritage. Thanks, ladies, it made my day.
Lorna, you are a very astute and intelligent woman. Thank you for the history. Love , love.
Out of many one people. Continue to educate the dunce population.❤
Out of many don't mean your bloodline she's not Jamaican she don't have black people blood no african in her she talking about tracing her ancestors to slave it back in China she said it in the video if she has kids yes they are Jamaican but not her she's chinese
Dont worry about these people Lorna (my namesake). They are pissed off because you are hitting a nerve in your critics, Keep on doing what you are doing. So glad I happened upon this interview.
Hi Mis Chin! As a black Jamaican let them get loss!! Be your jamaiacn self!!!
Hey Lorna. I am almost 70 years old black Jamaican. I have a 80 year old half Chinese sister and four cousins who were named Chang. The Chinese have been integrated into Jamaica for as long as I can remember.
big ups to the "black chiny" lol. I am cuban Chiny bawn inna jamdown. lol
Woman don’t pay these idiots they have not woken up yet when they wake they will recognize the chage
You want to feel Chinese cool, so what, but how the fck you people got problems with we being Africans, don't care what the fck you say Chinese dem still came late, and still had it different, up to today china was and is allowed to run their own economy, where in the world a black nation is left alone to do as they like to help they own people, so we choose to identify with the down trodden, we black ancestors why should you half Chinese have a problem with fcking that?
Lorna, "Out of many one people"! Yes, mi understand, I have gotten the " you a Jamaican?"
Mentality is everything. A true Jamaican even if one day we wake up and set “mi cyaan stan da country ya” we never criticize our country. She’s seeking relevance because Jamaican living in Jamaica does not hate. She would not have been this if she had not have this kind of conversation.
She is quite informed. A lot of what she described I remember from my childhood. This highlights how the history education is deficient. More attention needs to be given to documenting and teaching factual Jamaican history. I was surprised at how little the host seemed to know about these aspects of Jamaican History. This could be a series covering various aspects of Jamaican culture.
Yams are Afro/African, Curry is South Asian/Indian, Saturday Soup and Gizada Jewish/Hebrew, Chinese recording Studios, in the development of Jamaican Music; plus all the other contribution these group added to Jamaican cultures, including the many other cultures
Irish Moss, Guinness, etc...
Just fo your own research my friend not everything she's saying is true
I really love this interview. This lady is highly intelligent. I seen her video before and yeah, I was probably one of those critics, but it’s always good to get inside. Look on our history actually played out. I am one of those Jamaican who left and live in Canada and believe me I hated it here, live here for me. It’s like living in a prison. I’m not happy, but I’m here because I have a family. I have kids, but there is so much opportunities in Jamaica that other people going there and taking advantage of when we get left outside.
Lorna Chin you are a bonafide Jamaican big up 👍🏽
😂
Big up Miss Jamaica, educate them. Much Love and Repect. My friend sent this to me and I said to myself 1 hr and 1\2. Next thing I know, I have listened to the whole thing. You rock girl.
I love Jamaica the way it is. 🖤🤍💚❤💛🧡💜
That woman is so right love me Jamaican people out off many people
If you b loved us why not dobyour own research the Irish and Chinese lived in there own community we never mixed only some did go look it up for yourself
Look up German Town this lady is crazy 😂😂😂
love this interview,
The world is for everyone
There are so many different nations that were brought to Jamaica during the slave trade , there are Jewish Jamaican , German Jamaican , Irish Jamaican, African Jamaican , people that were shipped from India : this really open up a real conversation about keeping civics into school
Great Interview...Loved the energy...If ya don't know the ting ya don't know...lol...Love those Jams..💜.
I love this lady. Quite interesting conversation. I went to school and grew up among Chinese. We had Chinese playmates and had no problems. We spoke the same Jamaican language and shared the same food. We played and laughed together and trust from the grocer shops. I remember my neighbor Mass Georgie, who was Chinese would cook special dishes for Chinese celebrations and invited us to partake of the meals.
I have always considered Chinese Jamaicans to be an extremely valuable part of the island's history and culture as well as its economy. I wouldn't want a Jamaica without them. What annoys me is that Chinese, Lebanese, Syrian, Indian, European etc Jamaicans seem to be made to feel they have to prove themselves to be authentically Jamaican so they can be patronized in their own country.
Afro-Jamaicans were on the Islands 340 before the Chinese appeared after slavery for indentured work in the cane fields. They were reported to be crafty and not want to listen to anyone. They left the field and started businesses. How is it we allow them to make themselves equals? Do you believe any Jamaican can try such a thing in China or anywhere? We are putting our youth in a bad situation.
Has Lorna addressed having China Town in Jamaica? Why not?
Its ironic because its the Europeans who brought Blacks to Jamaica.
Exactly. Jamaica was fine the way they were with all the different cultures. It was not until outsiders who does not know anything about the Jamaican history,start to put their own spin on what or who should be considered Jamaican. Anyone who knows the history of Jamaica would know the truth of why the majority of people there and other Caribbean countries are of African descent. The Caribbean was never African origin. It is the land of the Tainos.

Greetins Up Upful Upfulness greatness lots of Jacans chinese or hidden I have chinese blood mix WID Irish in denegious African Out of many one.
Love you Lorna, my Jamaican sister, every thing you explain is perfectly so!!
Blessings Lorna, I would love to hear more from you.
Lorna i love you you are 👍 great keep teaching them 💗
Greeting Lifefactors,
Thank you Lorna chin, nice interview; and true history.
The Jamaican dialogue is fact.
Keep up the good work.
One Love.
Thank you ladies for telling the truth! My DNA is from all over the world, "Out of many, one people". Like you Miss Lorna, I'm Kingston born having to educate people about history because I don't present as how people expect me to look. Keep speaking up! 😍
"Out of many one people" I'm a black Jamaican and love and respect my fellow Jamaicans Chinese for their contribution to our culture. In music, business politics etc etc. It's only an ignorant person would think the Jamaican culture is only of African people. We are a mixture of many different people. This makes us more a vibrant, rich culture. The Jamaican Chinese are descendants from the Hakka Chinese ethnic group in China. My fellow Jamaican Chinese brothers and sisters are my brothers and sisters as much as my African Jamaican. I'm so disappointed that Lorna has to respond to such ignorant perceptions of the Jamaican Chinese. Hello people, black people are not indigenous to Xyamaca. ( Arawak spelling of Jamaica). We are all transplanted from somewhere else.
What was their contribution name them... Business? That position was instituted by the racist european colonizers paid all indentured groups that came to Jamaica and gave them land and business opportunities but the mass of black Africans who were enslaved of over 400 years were not given land or business opportunities nor were they paid for the ills of slavery
See so many ignorant Jamaicans supporting this nonsense. Do you know that half of St James was owed by one family who still to this day own majority of the lands in Montego Bay... Do you know how so much land in Jamaica is owned by European decent Jamaicans like Kerr Jarret and others... They are the descendants of the slave masters who in many changes their family name or turned it around to mislead the masses of their involvement in slavery. They are very much alive in Jamaica and are the owners of the wealth of this country along with the indentured immigrants like Lorna who were placed aboved the black people of this land in their system of segregation
Very informative, very honest and very true. .A very important interview by two very enlightened and informed ladies. Thanks for raising those important issues.
Good interview Miss chin👍🏾
Nobody can choose where we born,the only difference is what we choose to believe from education.
Love this very educational
Love this woman even though I don't agree with everything she says 😍 she's a real Jamaican.
Jamaican Minister of Education, must make sure the Jamaican history is taught in every schools in Jamaica. Civic and all the history must be taught. It's not the job of Lorna Chin to be teacing Jamaican their history. Fellow citizens of Jamaica, please educate yourself in that regards. Don't be dunce!!! Good luck to you all! Good luck to you Lorna Chin! Jamaican learn your history please. Jamaican Canadian ❤
Bless up princess one ❤ u are jamaican long live true history do repeat
Teach dem Lorna. Don't let no outsiders intimidate you. You know who you are, and you know wey you come from. Mek the haters dem gwaan go sit down. Love you lady. Big up and much respect.
So proud of you Lorna keep up the amazing work blessings
My dear Jamaicans is the most badmind ppl you can ever see
Very informative interview.
Lorna, I love listening to you. You are such an inspiration. You are a REAL Jamaican and is super knowledge about the history and culture. You are doing an Excellent job. Who God bless no one can curse. Continue to do what you do!!❤
I was born in Jamaica and I can remember Chinese people since before I could walk so you being Chinese and Jamaican is the same as being black and Jamaica. Love up
Ms lady interviewing Ms Chin, political violence is a big thing in Jamaica. We do not talk politics.
Out of many one meant exactly how Lorna described it. We need to put civics back in the classroom. Our culture is getting lost. Great job Lorna❤
Lorna...a Trekkie. That's awesome. Live long and prosper!
Thank you Lorna for your history information
This the first time listening to you, my girl you're one of the best to let me feel like ❤ OUT OF MANY ONE PEOPLE so big up your self and be real you're Yardie.
As a Jamaican living in the Uk from parents of the ‘Windrush’ IIE 40s to early 60s, I can relate to Lorna Chin’s sentiments of ‘sending them back home’ I have lived in the UK since 1969 having to live through the struggles of racism etc. The new influx of Jamaicans coming over since the 90s have the mentality that they are superior to us and do not identify themselves with us as Jamaicans. They say we are not Jamaicans but say we are British/foreigners and not Jamaicans. They create gun crimes amongst other crimes as affiliated with the ‘Yardies’ therefore we too should ‘Send them back.’ Reasons being, they socialise in their own groups. They only attend each other’s functions etc. Basically they live independently of the settled Jamaicans. However, they will marry the settled Jamaicans just to get their residency status and or passport. They create many children only to then divorce the settled black Jamaicans and leaving the marital home with several children now left in a broken home only to send for their children and partners in Jamaica.
Lorna, thanks very much. You teach me a lot of things and you're very intelligent and I take you as a Jamaican. Thank you for your history. Thank you for your knowledge. Big up yourself.
Very informative thank yu
Thanks for this video. Yes Lorna I can see that you’re well educated on history. I’m a Jamaican ( black) living in the USA. One of my daughters who is born here in America is also well educated on world history her history professor once threatened to kick her out of his class because she called him a idiot became the history he was teaching was incorrect. 😂 Lorna in the early part of this conversation you said you posted something and had ex amount of followers but now it surpasses the amount and you didn’t expect that.I’m taking it that maybe it’s your calling to become an educator/advisor for the Jamaican people to educate them on how to invest in Jamaica so that they don’t want to migrate abroad. Where I live in America it’s a lot of Jamaican teachers and nurses living and working here because their salaries in Jamaica doesn’t cut it.when I was a child in Jamaica in the late sixties I remember a period of time Chinese kids couldn’t go to school and places were burnt down I never understood why. When I got older one of my uncle explained it to me he said the Chinese people came to Jamaica and set up shops in black people neighborhoods but refused to hire black workers in their shops they would hire them to clean their houses and cut their lawns but not in their shops so the Rasta movement got tired of it and told the Chinese that they must hire black workers and give them a certain amount of time to do so and when they didn’t comply the Rastafarians burned down shops houses and the Chinese got scared and didn’t send their kids to school. I know you might be offended when people don’t recognize you as Jamaican but don’t be you know what you are just educate them. I wouldn’t look at you and assume you’re a Jamaican because you do look like a Chinese/Asian person that’s no disrespect. Here in America if I don’t talk people assume that I am a African American but I don’t get offended by it because I embrace my African heritage.The entertainers in Jamaica especially dance hall need to understand copy rights/ the business side of their music.Hip Hop and Dem Bow (Shaba) all derived from dance hall music one love mi yard sista.😁❤🇯🇲
This is one of the most inaccurate comments on the anti-Chinese riots I have ever come across. It had nothing to do with Rastafarians against Chinese people. The incident in St Mary had to do with a man/woman dispute that spread and got out of control and the 1960s incident that sprang from a dispute in the "Chinatown" area of Barry Street was a spontaneous reaction to an incident at a grocery outlet.
I just have one question your daughter was born in America is she a Jamaican citizen because if this lady who was not born on Jamaican can be a Jamaican do you consider your daughter a Jamaican?
@@blackallday well my daughter is an American because she was born in America that’s factual and no she’s not a Jamaican citizen. ( however in my eyes she is a Jamaican because she came from me a Jamaican and she understands and speaks patois /patwah. Lorna was born in Jamaica so she’s a Jamaican.
@@janetlawrence7937 I was just asking because people are saying the asian lady is Jamaican but she's not a citizen she's just a resident of Jamaica no disrespect I was just seeing your understanding of what this lady was talking about nuff respect
Lorna you are so rite and very smart I love you realness. You are a real Caribbean gyal!! Keep it real!!
I am Jamaican and have Chinese heritage from my Great Grandmother on my Father’s side. I have learned so much from this discussion. Give thanks!
Yes because your family mixed with Chinese ask this lady if her father was a Jamaican man or if her mom was black she can never be Jamaican
You’re right Lorna, that Jamaica is not an African country and I really never thought about like that before. African Jamaica had nothing to do with who came into the country when they enslaved us and even after slavery ended.
Lorna we are with you as black Jamaicans,at the heart of it,because of contempt for Africans, blacks seek self esteem which can appear to dominate.
Arguably there is an universal anti black sentiments.
However people like Lorna a great Jamaican 👍
There are a set of Asians who feel they are better than...superior to blacks;unbeknowingly that Chinese given paid jobs and are better off financially while blacks had to work for free and owned nothing.
My Aunt married a Jamaican Chinese so I have cousins of that heritage.
True facts 💯 Lorna
It was GOD that send you LORNA its your time 🇯🇲🇨🇳 following now my husband is Jamaica Chinese
The confusion comes from ppl actually think they’re from island and calling themselves colours and misnomers. We ALL NEED TO DO MORE RESEARCH
Love you my sister
Chinese cultus has always part of Jamaica for me. I’m black. My best friend in pre school was Chinese. Her family owned a store In Kingston. I used to get parries from her dad after school for free. In primary school many of my friends were Chinese. It’s just the way it was. We were not rich. They didn’t appear to be rich to me either. It’s crazy that outsiders defining us. We are out of many one people. African countries need to respect who we are. If they see Jamaica, they need to know this and respect who we are. We can start a née conversation about Africa and its role in black Jamaicans being here in the Americas. People are people. There are good and bad everywhere in each culture.
Bustamante did not have African blood, yet was Jamaican's Prime Minister.
The original Chinese in Jamaica are Jamaican, pure Jamaican!
And East Indians too!
She is more Jamaican than a lot of Jamaican. I am very proud of her that she is such a strong minded lady, and she can overcome all the racism and discrimination.😢
Zimbabwe did extradite foreign businesses owners,gave the business to locals,few years,economics collapse.
She is NOT more jamaican than anyone from Jamaica! They're only here for resources, and once the can claim the title as jamaican, they'll get it free.
@@philipkclau2437what does this have to do with this video
@@100jenaboobecause we jamaican think only black people belong in Jamaica
@@julitwilliams2683 so then why is king Charles still your king. And why the people that have been there b4 independence r STILL THERE. Get them out since u can.then why u have KFC and pizza Hut and chrispy cream in Jamaica then
Some Jamaicans are Africans, some are Indians, some are Germans, some are Chinese. We all have a base home that's why we put that in our description of who we are. It's been said that we all originate from Africa. So that's another topic😊
Great Interview. LETS DO IT AGAIN !
I love what u say and stand for miss chin u telling the truth
Keep pushing the envelope Lorna❤
No one is paying attention to false information and she never showed her birth papers I live in nyc and to renew my passport I need my birth certificate to apply who living in Jamaica has a passport I don't remember the government issuing them out stop the foolishness yall making us look domb
Ms, Chin is truly is Jamaican who know her country’s history very well. Jamaica is going backward, not teaching their young ones their civics.
However, things will not change for better, since man has dominated man to his injury. Jamaica and the rest of the world is badly damaged. Mankind cannot make the change we need. Only our creator!
This is the “Last Days”, as the Bible shows.
Please go back to JA and Run for the PM. You would make a great leader. You knows a lot more and understand the dialogue and heritage of your country. Continue to be yourself and shines the born Jamaican in you.❤love your energy, determination and dedication in you Lorna love.🇯🇲
I definitely get PM vibes from her.Her passion,intelligence,wit and knowledge is undeniable.
Keep on telling the truth Lorna
Love you Lorna. Thanks for my eyeopener. I will be spreading your name t by forwarding this interview many people. I relatives who look like you.❤❤

Thank you my brother. I am brown complexion and my mother side of the family is Lee. People want me to accept only my blackness.I am not an African I am a Jamaican.
The problem with people all over the world is lack of knowledge and our history.
Yes my dumb ass people in the comments talking about this lady is Jamaican when she was never born in Jamaica
Keep it up Lorna !
Love you Ms. Chin. I am a brown Jamaican with all the races in the family. Out of many one.

Listening to Ms Chin reminds me of my classmate back in Prep school in May Pen Dennis Shim You.
Well I know dennis good guy
@@trevorlloyd2271 Nice, I do hope he and family are doing well, Danny and his sister attended Glenmuir High.
Dennis and I are twins by age and we both attended Eureka Prep. Would luv to chat with him.
From Canada 🇨🇦 with Nuff Respect.
We need to remember Senator Maurice Tenn. Of the PNP. As a young Jamaican, I was being taught Cantonize by my best friend's Grand Mother, I did not know the value of it then. I grew up around lots of chinese in the neighborhood, in church, in school. Some unifomed, unexposed Jamaicans have lost😊 their minds. I remember one Chinese family who helped poorer people in the neighborhood was killed ,removing a great heip from the community.
Come through ms chin we got your back. My auntie is part Chinese
Jamaicans are the most beautiful people on God’s earth, out of many one people ❤
THANK YOU!❤
This woman is correct...
Chinese has been around in jamaica forever ..OUT OF MANY ONE PEOPLE WHICH MAKES US ALL JAMAICAN
Out of many one people. I always loved the Jamaican motto abd I an oart Asian via my paternal treat grandfather. I knew my half Asian grandmother. My father's family is from an area in Jamaica where there are many Asian people intermingled in families so I see nothing wrong with the diversity!
She is a real Jamaican nothing less i listen to her voice and every words her tongue is a Jamaican tongue,the only thing left is for her to give the full yards of the Jamaican cloth if she get pissed off, and i a African Jamaican who sees her as a real Jamaican 👍🇱🇷🇯🇲🇯🇲 .
Greeting the is the first time Iam listen to this lady, well she is definitely Jamaican the name Lorn❤❤❤her bigup urself well educate 💯💯💯
as a former JCF member i used to get bags of groceries the indigent from many chinese businesses
Very interesting conversation. Had me engaged for its entirety. My perception of the Chinese community is, they are hard workers who are strong business minded. We should never look at this in any negative way. I also believe it is not her responsibility to go around and educate arrogant/ignorant people. Too many of us are too closed minded and limited in our curiosity. Done said.
Big up Miss Chin !! Real talk sister ❤
