Some thoughts

“I can say that I NEVER see that crap when I'm with boardies.” (Brasi)
"I don’t hang with “boardies” – and I seldom see that crap. You know where I see it? In a few of the resident expats here. And yes, it is disgusting. The folks I hang with, not boardies - residents, expats, part-time residents and tourists who have been coming here a long time - never, EVER do I hear or see that (if I did I'd no longer hang with them, that's for sure). And I'll tell you something else - the Jamaicans are hardest on each other."

I was just trying to let uten know that she could be assured that kind of thing is not normal here/at boardie events...as far as I know. I hang out with people other than boardies, to be sure...I wasn't making any broad generalizations that there are racists everywhere else...but MORE of racist crap IS gonna happen at the AI cookie cutters in my opinion. In any case, I am with you. If that kind of thing racist chat/actions happen---for example, a local is not allowed to hang with me somewhere---which is tantamount to racism...I'm done at that spot.
