      @Bobby Knuckles I don't know why you had to write a bunch of stuff when what he clearly stated in the first time is that GEOGRAPHICALLY Guyana is not a Caribbean nation
      It's like saying we Mexicans aren't latinos because we are in North America, when clearly we do have a Latin American CULTURE
      Also History does """ change""" geography, take a look at Panama, historically belonged to the Viceroyalty of New Granada, and then to the Gran Colombia, so HISTORICALLY Panama is more of a "South American" country than a Central American one
      I don't get how you can't understand that, by using your logic we can also say North African people have more to do with sub Saharan African people than with middle Easterners, or that those middle Easterners should all have some sort of Chinese culture because they are in Asia or something

      Guyana (pronounced /ɡaɪˈɑːnə/ or /ɡaɪˈænə/), officially the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, is a country on the northern mainland of South America. It is, however, often considered part of the Caribbean region because of its strong cultural, historical, and political ties with other Anglo-Caribbean countries and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).
