Jamaicans of Chinese ancestry are as prevalent throughout the immigrant population of Canada the UK and the U.S. as any. Among achievers from the island of Jamaica, they include the world's top male and female supermodels Tyson Beckford and Naomi Campbell, Canadian billionaire Michael Lee Chin, CEOs of VP Records, Vincent and Pat Chin, Rockers TV reggae video pioneer Earl Chin, "The Voice" reality show winner Tessanne Chin, current Miss Jamaica World beauty queen, Laurie-Ann Chin and many others.
With musician Byron Lee and Roman Catholic priest Richard Holung, their names are indelibly inscribed in Jamaica's history and culture.
But while there are those who can be immediately identified by their Chinese ancestry, perhaps an equal amount or more are forced to straddle the most dominant cultural appearance and more often than not it is African.
