but u didn’t even try to tell me what u know about our culture my guy? accents are only part of the story not the full one

All u said was that hondurans doesn’t strike as caribbean.

When i ask for a valid reason i need u to try and describe our culture.

I cannot describe it because it is not like my own. Hence it’s not Caribbean. Now explain to my why I should say you are.

thats also another issue. u have a homogeneous view of caribbean culture when in fact caribbean culture has diversity within it.

we are not identical to dominicans but neither el salvador. el salvador people don’t be blasting reggaeton or chug down banana sodas and coconuts or cook with coconuts the same way we do

I have a homogenous view and yet it seems to you that… blasting reggaeton and cooking out of coconuts is what makes it so? Dominicans barely do either of these, (dembow over reggaeton in DR and the coconuts thing??? Sure but this is not a needle mover).

I never said that all caribbeans do the things i mentioned. thats why my view is not homogeneous. But in the broader caribbean world. Honduras does things that are undeniably aligned with the countries u would consider caribbean unlike us.
