ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Asian Caribbean

Hey there! So, have you ever heard of Asia? It's a really big continent on the other side of the world. And have you heard of the Caribbean? It's a group of islands in the ocean near America.

Well, did you know that there are some people who have families that come from both places? They are called Asian Caribbeans!

Some of them have parents or grandparents who came from Asian countries like India, China, or Vietnam, but they were born and raised in the Caribbean. So, even though their families have Asian roots, they also have a Caribbean culture and way of life.


This means that they might eat different kinds of foods, listen to different kinds of music, or celebrate different holidays than people who live in Asia or the Caribbean. But it's really cool because they get to combine both cultures and have a unique identity all their own!

Do you have any questions about Asian Caribbeans?
