Does racism between Caribbean people disappear in the diaspora

[u/CompetitiveTart505S]

For example growing up I was never under the impression there were conflicts between Indo and Afro Caribbean people, because the Indo Caribbean people I met were all very nice and emphasized that we're all Caribbean.

I also have a Dutch friend who explained that Surinamese people seem pretty united in the Netherlands regardless of race, but this is an outsider looking in of course.

What do you guys think? Does this imply that ethnic tensions are more superficial, or is it really not that significant? Do you all have any contradictory or complementary experiences?

Not at all. In certain cases they might put differences aside if they're a small minority in a country as a means of protection. This historically happened with some groups in NYC for example to protect from more established ethnic groups.
