Thanks so much for watching!
Actual Jamaicans know that Jamaicans can be of European, African, Chinese, Indian, Syrian, etc decent. Our motto is literally “Out Of Many, One People”
Are there any from Iraq in Jamaica?
I'm sorry if it sounds ignorant
@@mustafc9200 Not that I am aware of, from that part of the world it's mostly Syrians and Lebanese who have been here since 1900s our former prime minister Edward Seaga is Lebanese- Jamaican. Oh it's fine, not many people outside of Jamaica know.
@@justjuli3t Yes I've read abit about it also and i think it's the same as in Barbados if I'm not wrong and that these are mostly christians right?
@@mustafc9200 yes also the same in Trinidad, I think during these times alot of them emigrated to the Carribbean. Yeah predominately Christian but some were also Jewish. My great grandfathers family were Syrian Jews born in Aleppo.
@@justjuli3t Oh that's is awesome my friends are all Syrians migrants in Europe that's why I was interested.
My friend is ethnically Chinese but born in Jamaica. It was like a free show just to sit and watch him talk to people and have their heads explode.
?@EvilAsf
@EvilAsflad are you slow, he was born in Jamaica why would he be racist towards the people he grew up with
@Nationalismbahamas i am an ethnically russian person (both parents also russian) born in ireland and i have an irish accent, live around irish people and participate in irish culture, i am not racist towards them as i am essentially one of them and i know many people exactly in the same situation as me, lithuanians, latvians, ukrainians, romanians, chinese👀, poles etc. in the grand scheme of things… none of them hold any hatred or malcontentness with irish people at all!
@Nationalismbahamasthere are good people of all races that aren't racist. Then there are evil scumbags like you that are racist and small who follow Satan.
@@lyrickonerYeah. It's weird he's calling every white person a racist (even asking if someone is black or white in the comments before he replys) 😂 A clear racist calling strangers racists - The Irony. ❤
People forget that Jamaican is a NATIONALITY. Not a RACE.
Rajhean Rodriques ye
@Backstage Bum I’m gonna guess you meant continent? Africa is a continent, Jamaica however is in North America, the Caribbean to precise. There are people of many different races that live there because of the slave trade. That includes native South Americans, Africans and Irish and their enslavers the British, Spanish and French.
Out of Many One People.....
Nobody thinks Jamaican is a race 😂😂😂
It's just that it is and may always be strange to hear a white person use the accent or speak the language because there are soo few of them.
Smh us humans.
There is a significant enough Irish population in Jamaica that, yes, this is real lol. The lilt & rhythm of both accents really seems to coalesce in harmony with each other
the "th-" being pronounced more like a "t-", again the lilt and rhythm, the CADENCE. both accents have a melodic quality to them
Great observation...
Also used to be quite a few Scots
my thoughts exactly
@@iconoclastic-fantastic there are plenty of white Jamaicans who sound just like this. They don't even need to be Irish.

@@tyreseismyname2632 am jamaican n his accent is on point...the next thing u need to know about Jamaica is that all parish pronounces certain words differently.
Mondragon Chiropractic i did not expect to see u here LMAO
What the fuck do you think Irish is?
No Jamaican is shocked by this. A little history for non Jamaicans. Yes most Jamaicans have African ancestry. White Jamaicans have been a part of Jamaica since the Spanish colonised in the 1600s and Tainos had been here for thousands of years. Chinese and Indians came here as indentured servants and made a home here. As did the Lebanese and Syrians who came in the 1900s. We are a diverse island but one people. 🇯🇲
I’m not Jamaican, but I can definitely say it’s the same thing 4 Guyana, and probably other countries in the Caribbean 😭💕👌✨
Yep that’s right
Yup!
Nope, I'm shocked. It's like 93% black people here 4% Asian, 2% Indian and that 1% is other. Never seen a white person speaking patois in my life.
0.4% of Jamaicans are pure white. 95% are of mixed African and European ancestry but they identify as black. Assuming his family's been there a while and not recent immigrants, to be this white tells me they kept to themselves to remain pure.
Hearing a white guy speaking with a Jamaican accent makes me realize that Jamaican sounds kinda Irish.

@@seraphimdunn Ah that makes sense. I always wondered why 2 different groups of people from separate parts of the world ended up having so many similarities in linguistics.
@@seraphimdunnalso why red hair is more common in jamaica compared to other parts of the caribbean!

@@cess310 there are a few persons of Irish descent who are born in Jamaica, so probably that's a factor

@@quickstep2408 facts 😂
Fun fact, apparently a lot of the reason for the speaking patterns in places such as jamaica is due to the people teaching residents english primarily being of Irish decent, so in a round about way, Jamaican is related to Irish
As a person who lives in the Caribbean, his Jamaican accent is 100% original
I’ve been learning how to do different accents (French, German, British, Scottish, etc.) but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do Jamaican…. Not gonna stop me from trying tho

Accents are based on location not melanin 👌
@@trevorwall87 its not an accent, its a language! Jamaican Creole/Patois

It's the fact that non-Jamaicans hear the Irish accent, but us Jamaicans clearly know that this man is a Jamaican. He sounds like he could be from St. Elizabeth or Westmoreland, both of which are in western JA. I have cousins that are white and have blonde hair and hazel eyes, some have indian ancestry, and I am a black Jamaican woman mixed with other ethnicities.

I think people forget that being Jamaican is a NATIONALITY and not a race or ethnicity.
It’s more than a Nationality. It’s an identity
He's definitely Jamaican. I am from Kingston and he's not from there. He's probably from somewhere in the countryside based on his accent. By the way I went to high school with quite a few white Jamaicans so not a big deal to me.
Tell dem
He said he's from the western part of Jamaica though, so yeah, definitely not Kingston.
@@theobuniel9643 He is definitely from Westmoreland, Jamaican by birth, of German ancestors.
Not Irish as others been saying.
Raspect🇨🇦🇯🇲🙏
I went to high school with many white Jamaicans also. Some were of irish decent, some were of German decent and also Syrian decent. They were the kids from families with money and privilege. There were afro dominant (black) children who were from affluent families also, if their families had land and/or business holdings. The Indians and Chinese were also quite affluent. For the most part though, the afro dominant children were from working class or poor families. I was from a working class single mom who herself is half local Scottish. She is now an octogenarian. When she went to high school in the fifties, the same one I later attended as a coed, it was an all girls school and the tuition was very pricey. She was able to attend because her afro ethnic family that raised her were land and business owners. In those days (thirties) the whites, local and otherwise did not marry the blacks for the most part, even if they were from well to do families. Some black families had land handed down to them from the plantation owners and started businesses especially grocery stores that supplied the districts in which they were located. In my case we lived near a sugar factory and the factory workers and sugar cane field workers were the primary customers. I recall this from my early years in the late sixties and early seventies. I was the cute four to five year old at my mother's feet in the grocery/bakery of which she was the proprietor. My mother never finished high school. Not because she got pregnant, she didn't, but because it was customary for girls to be groomed for marriage by a certain age so she was pulled out of school at about sixteen ( she could read and write and add/Math enough) to learn and manage the family business. She now also had a dowry to make her attractive to well to do suitors. She would come to the table with land and business and literacy. But my mom, bless her heart, was a rebel spirit and quite independent minded ( the Gaelic blood in her I suppose) would have none of that. Maybe she was rebelling because by pulling her out of school, they dashed her dreams of becoming a teacher or a nurse. Many of the kids in her circle went on to become teachers, nurses and bank workers and the boys became engineers, lawyers, dentists, police officers with rank and doctors. My father, his brother and brother's wife were some of that circle that went on to higher education and professional careers. My father was predominantly afro, with Irish and Indian decent. My mother married my stepfather in 1969 and immigrated to America in the seventies and sponsored all their children up to the states in the early eighties, including me.
After her youngest teenage son and only child of five left at home, ran away to the Navy with his friends to escape the racism and racial profiling in NYC in the nineties, my mother went back to school. She did remedial college classes at BMCC and eventually graduated from the Beth Israel School of Nursing as an RN at the age of fifty. The story of Jamaica and it's history, culture and people is diverse and rich and beautiful and tragic and sordid. What an island.
White Caribbeaners exist. They’re mostly descendants of British settlers. There’s also white Bahamians, white Barbadians, white Trinidadians, ect.

@@dejikafurim5134 not a lie, they were servants
@@dejikafurim5134 sounds like you know nothing of history. Remain ignorant.
ty Irish weren’t SLAVES, they were INDENTURED SERVANTS. There’s a HUGE difference.
1. They got paid
2. They went voluntarily and signed off their freedom on paper (although they were manipulated like the Indians but they still didn’t get dragged like Africans)
3. They only had to work 5-8 years
4. It wasn’t hereditary, meaning servitude didn’t pass down to their children, whereas slavery did.
5. Overall just better conditions.
6. They got to leave WHENEVER THEY CHOSE, they weren’t property.
@@elijahoye8216 So they were slaves with better conditions. They were still slaves and treated horribly.

The Jamaican accent sounds Irish because thousands of young Irishmen were exiled by the British crown after they rebelled in 1798. That's also why many Jamaicans have Irish surnames, because the only people the exiles would've been able to marry would've been black Jamaicans.
@UrDesignatedShooter very interesting stuff
@james dallen
The Irish sl@ve trade began when 30,000 Irish prisoners were sold as sl@ves to the New World.
The King James I Proclamation of 1625 required Irish political prisoners be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies. By the mid 1600s, the Irish were the main sl@ves sold to Antigua and Montserrat.
At that time, 70% of the total population of Montserrat were Irish sl@ves.
Ireland quickly became the biggest source of human livestock for English merchants. The majority of the early sl@ves to the New World were actually wh!te.
From 1641 to 1652, over 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and another 300,000 were sold as sl@ves. Ireland’s population fell from about 1,500,000 to 600,000 in one single decade. Families were ripped apart as the British did not allow Irish dads to take their wives and children with them across the Atlantic. This led to a helpless population of homeless women and children. Britain’s solution was to auction them off as well.
During the 1650s, over 100,000 Irish children between the ages of 10 and 14 were taken from their parents and sold as sl@ves in the West Indies, Virginia and New England. In this decade, 52,000 Irish (mostly women and children) were sold to Barbados and Virginia.
Another 30,000 Irish men and women were also transported and sold to the highest bidder. In 1656, Cromwell ordered that 2000 Irish children be taken to Jamaica and sold as sl@ves to English settlers.
Many people today will avoid calling the Irish slaves what they truly were: Sl@ves. They’ll come up with terms like “Indentured Servants” to describe what occurred to the Irish. However, in most cases from the 17th and 18th centuries, Irish sl@ves were nothing more than human cattle.
As an example, the Afric@n sl@ve tr@de was just beginning during this same period. It is well recorded that African slaves, not tainted with the stain of the hated C@tholic theology and more expensive to purchase, were often treated far better than their Irish counterparts.
African sl@ves were very expensive during the late 1600s (50 Sterling). Irish slaves came cheap (no more than 5 Sterling).
If a planter whipped or branded or beat an Irish slave to death, it was never a crime. A death was a monetary setback, but far cheaper than killing a more expensive African.
The English masters quickly began breeding the Irish women for both their own personal pleasure and for greater profit. Children of sl@ves were themselves sl@ves, which increased the size of the master’s free workforce.
Even if an Irish woman somehow obtained her freedom, her kids would remain sl@ves of her master.
Thus, Irish moms, even with this new found emancipation, would seldom abandon their kids and would remain in servitude.
In time, the English thought of a better way to use these women (in many cases, girls as young as 12) to increase their market share: The settlers began to breed Irish women and girls with Afric@n men to produce sl@ves with a distinct complexion.
These new “mul@tto” sl@ves brought a higher price than Irish livestock and, likewise, enabled the settlers to save money rather than purchase new African sl@ves.
This practice of interbreeding Irish females with Afric@n men went on for several decades and was so widespread that, in 1681, legislation was passed “forbidding the practice of mating Irish sl@ve women to African sl@ve men for the purpose of producing sl@ves for sale.”
In short, it was stopped only because it interfered with the profits of a large slave transport company.
England continued to ship tens of thousands of Irish slaves for more than a century. Records state that, after the 1798 Irish Rebellion, thousands of Irish sl@ves were sold to both America and Australia. There were horrible abuses of both African and Irish captives. One British ship even dumped 1,302 slaves into the Atlantic Ocean so that the crew would have plenty of food to eat.
There is little question that the Irish experienced the horrors of slavery as much (if not more in the 17th Century) as the Africans did. There is, also, very little question that those brown, tanned faces you witness in your travels to the West Indies are very likely a combination of African and Irish ancestry.
In 1839, Britain finally decided on its own to end its participation in S@tan’s highway to hell and stopped transporting sl@ves. While their decision did not stop pirates from doing what they desired, the new law slowly concluded THIS chapter of nightmarish Irish misery.
But, if anyone, black or white, believes that slavery was only an African experience, then they’ve got it completely wrong.
Irish sl@very is a subject worth remembering, not erasing from our memories.
@james dallen UA-cam actually deletes this comment because this truth is being censored. The powers that be dont want people to know that 99% of the global population have been enslaved by the other 2%. Doesn't matter what "color" you are...
The English sent a lot of Irish as indentured servants down to Jamaica. That's why Jamaica has a very large Irish population . Also probably explains why if you listen to an Irish person and a Jamaican person talk you can hear a very similar accent .

Only reason to. say that is if you don't completely know the geography of Jamaica when put on the spot and didnt want to show your lack of knowledge. Where is west? Westmoreland? Where in specific? Who's your people?
@james dallen I'm Jamaican. Family is from Clarendon and St. Catharines. I got family in St. Mary, Spanish town, Linstead, Kingston, Westmoreland and St. Elizabeth. I visit regularly and I hear all the regional dialectic flavors. I live in Toronto with a big Jamaican population so I hear the patois watered down and fully faked by people who aren't even from there. if he's Jamaican then great...but to my ear there's something missing in his flow. And guess what..I'm allowed to have an opinion. An hear wah...Nobody beg di likkle girl fi put out di video!! She put this out here STATING that people don't believe he's Jamaican. She is opening him up to scrutiny...so guess wah..i'm gonna scrutinize
@james dallen by the way...he says at 0:20 he's from the western part of Jamaica. So since you're such a "yawd mon" and you know everything. Please tell me where St Mary is on the map of Jamaica. ....I rest my case.
As a kid with Jamaican parents, and grandparents who are also white(my grandpa)I have to say that this is such a heartwarming video to me, so thank u for letting your dad share his heart and accent to the world, and my yellow man hopefully see this.
90% of Jamaicans are black, the other 10% are white, asian, Indian, everything.
Yellowman is awesome. His Christmas album is choice!
I knew that, I wasn’t quite aware that they spoke the same Patois. In other parts of the Caribbean, the Creole languages are manly spoken by mixed race and Afro Caribbeans. But really cool.
Isn’t Yellow man Albino tho lol
Yellowman is black though lol

Following the sacking of Limerick as a punishment to the people for resisting Cromwell. His forces rounded up 60000 to 80000 men from Limerick and Clare brought them to the Caribbean as slaves. Because of their white skin they became sun burnt and known as the Red Legs. Red Leg = Irish. That is why irish names such Sean and Rory are common there. A lot of Caribbean are of descended from both Irish and African slaves eg Rihanna. 1 in 4 Jamaicans are of 🇮🇪 ancestry.
Most white Jamaicans are Irish or Scottish
Paul Doogan no Caribbean’s are Irish or Europe descents there all African déscents
Out of Many, One People" White Jamaicans, Jamaican Chinese and Jamaican Indians do exist you know kmt... My grandfather is a white Jamaican of Irish descent. And I am not surprised that most the comments saying he is not Jamaican are black Americans who have nothing to do with Jamaica or our culture 🙄, there ignorance is very worrying.

It almost sounds like an Irish accent when coming out of that face
Daniel Zylberkan one third of Jamaicans have Irish ancestry. Fact.
The Jamaican accent is a mix of African and Irish
Nah bro that's thick patois
The Jamaican accent is a product of trans-atlantic slave trade.
He is 100% Irish, with a touch of Jamaican apparently.
I worked with Jamaicans on a tree nursery , and let me tell you, Jamaicans dont give a fuck what color skin you have or where you are from, they treat you just the same as one of their own. Some of the most welcoming and kind people i have ever met in my 27 years on this earth. One day i forgot my lunch and that day we worked 14 hours. by the 10th hour i was so hungry i could barely move. And Roni (AKA Rude Boy) the guy i had the pleasure of working with everyday. He went and gave me the rest of his lunch that he didnt eat. I told him that i couldent except it, because i'm not one to take hand outs. He looked me in the eyes and said " fuck you , you take it" " i grew up poor in Jamaica, i know hungry, you fucking eat , understand?" i burst out crying because i had never had someone show me such compassion, someone who i barely knew was willing to give me their food. That was 8 years ago, and i have never forgotten that moment, and i never will forget.
Thanks for sharing. This was a nice read
Ye man yaad is a nice place if you respect ppl
I had the same thing happen to me in Hawaii. A guy working a restaurant offered me his lunch after I didn't order much. Something about that level of kindness and genuine selflessness just hits you right in the heart

What are the odds, I'm irish too
Surprisingly, I live in Newfoundland and Labrador and the way this guy speaks does sound a bit like Newfoundlanders do!
the reason for that is because Patois originated from the mixing of the english spoken by west african slaves, with the english spoken by the european indentured servants who were mainly irish and who lived with and worked alongside the slaves
Well most Irish people who settled in Jamaica comes from Cork,Ireland.

Irish used to make up a huge portion of the population of Jamaica, many of them left for America but 200 thousand or so remain. They are the second-largest reported ethnic group in Jamaica, after Jamaicans of African ancestry. The first Prime Minister named Alexander Bustamante was of mixed ancestry, both African and Irish, he is seen as a very important figure in Jamaican history..

So let’s just make sure the rules are clear: if you can say he’s not Jamaican because he’s white, even though he’s born and raised in Jamaica, and brought up in Jamaican culture…then playing by the same rules, someone can tell a black Englishman he isn’t English. Chinese American? Nope, not a _real_ American. Is that the rules you want to play by?

I'm from Ireland and he doesn't sound a bit Irish. Or English, Scottish, or Welsh. This guy's legit Jamaican. That accent is unmistakable. He's just someone from somewhere. Got me wondering if black Irish folk get mistaken for Jamaicans 🤔
When he says "oven" it sounds Irish.
I know that ethnic background doesn’t influence accent, but I’m sure this guy is of Irish descent, Irish people were indentured servants in Jamaica, and Irish are still the second largest ethnic group in Jamaica today
Why cant a white man speak jamaican when an an Asian from Glasgow can speak glaswegian better than me it's where u brought up, u take it on by default when it's bi cultural it always gonna be accents we follow especially if ya parents take u there or born there and live life there u most certainly adapt. I have Scottish,Irish, and jamaican family my 2 jamaican uncles are so different as they lived in england and Scotland and have no patois in there vocabulary so trying to define it is impossible. If he was a jamaican speaking Chinese would there be any complaints??,,,,,
He sounds a bit like a Kerry man though 😂
Garry , I got a flagging for saying he is of German lineage from Seaford Town Westmoreland. I just got confirmation from a family member that I am correct. Most of our mainly talk of Irish coming to Jamaica, 1% maybe aware of the German colony there.
In Britain we already know this. I was at Sandhurst many years ago with a couple of Jamaican cadets, and they sounded just like this. Nothing to do with ethnicity, it's their whole way of life.
I always thought Caribbean accents sound oddly Irish.
AlyssaQ420 we are both island people 😏

Ireland has a long history of colonisation concerning Jamaica, I wouldn't be surprised if the dialect emerged as a mish-mash of primarily Ethiopian, Irish, English, and some American and Caribbean dialects.
@@jameswilkes451 Ireland has a long history of colonization with Jamaica. NO, FOOL, the Irish were colonized and therefore at the British's will to be sent for indentured servitude to Jamaica, a BRITISH colony. The Irish NEVER colonized a damn thing. We just want our Island to be fucking ours
That's because the British used to send Irish 'criminals' there as punishment.

Caleb Reed irish accent and jamaican accents are similar and it's the same thing with newfoundlander canadian accents. really interesting actually if you look into it, im not 100% sure cuz I havent looked into it a whole lot, but i think it comes from slavery back in the day from what i understand
Some of the dialect is quite similar but overall you can clearly differentiate between Irish and Jamaican
sorry if this comes off as spammy, i dont have any affiliation to this website lol just a guy trying to share knowledge on teh interwebz. found an interesting article if you want to read it jamaicans.com/interesting-facts-irish-influence-jamaica/ it turns out according to this i was a bit off when it comes to the slavery connection but that it was around the time when there were african slaves in jamaica when the irish settled there and i guess that that's got something do do with the accents being similar. I havent read the whole thing but figured id show u an article instead of just expecting you to believe me at first read lol

I mean why is it so difficult to comprehend that a white person can have a Jamaican accent like say indian people in the UK can have an English accent

People don't realize that lots of Irish people were brought to Jamaica as slaves and he is probably a descendant of one of them.
Exactly. All throughout history we have had things happen like that. The best examples are White slaves in the Ottoman Empire who eventually fled to Southern Africa, Africans come to The United States, Asians brought into Mexico, the list goes on.

@@WolfgangLunar damn. I never knew that. All I was taught in school was African American slavery in the south
@@BGM_MuOffical Look up "Redlegs." The UK had laws that put people in jail for not being able to pay back loans (until they could pay). Many allowed themselves to be indentured servants to pay off their debts. "Redlegs" is what white indentured slaves working in the Caribbean were called because their legs turned red in the Sun.
For the people saying it's fake (which a good chunk of you aren't even Jamaican, funny) it's not. Once you leave Jamaica, especially for 20 years like he did surrounded by English your patois can be affected. I'm Jamaican but I've been in the states for about 10 years and my patois has damaged. Doesn't mean he isn't Jamaican. We have a pop. Of white people and lots of Chinese people down there, some of y'all can't believe it for some reason. But as soon as I heard him say 'character' and yellow man I knew he was jamaican💀🤣
Aaand his mother is Jamaican
The real reason it's fake.. . Is because it's there so many cuts in the video.
I also truly believe he got rid the accent living the current country (America). The video is real but his accent is gone.
I speak 3 language and this is not a problem. There are accents and vowels that need to be pronounced when speaking to locals to sound fluent.
Theo Eguia I disagree. My mum has been living in America for over 30+ years and her accent is still strong and her patois is still authentic. You can’t fake an accent like patois. The video having cuts doesn’t have anything to do with it. It’s just editing. I personally don’t see any reason for these people to fake his accent. She’s been uploading videos way before this and you can see his family is based in Jamaica and coming from a Jamaican, his accent isn’t faked. I really don’t see why a white Jamaican is so unbelievable to you guys😂 surprise we have a bunch of Asians too
@@Thebrebeee I don't know. I guess I will agree to disagree. I love you and you have good point. I'm telling you, though I think in this video and other videos you can hear his American accent. It's not bad. But I think his videos are forced.
