i would say 99.99% of carribbean born players are of african decent...

any island that has fresh water, had sugar grown on it, and you know where they got the workers for them... (only st barts lacks indigenous people from africa -it has no fresh water)

the difference is language and culture, thus the Latino and african american designations, but no doubt the share the same relatives dating back to 1600's....
