Shes not "chinese". Shes Jamaican.

She didnt "create" shit. She operated a record store and later a label.

Seems like a nice lady overall.
She was Jamaican. She had to flee to queens ny during the 60 due to riots in Jamaica and politics and attacks on Chinese.
There is a large population of Chinese in queens. Which is where she resides till this day

No problem. Just paying tribute to the pioneers.
And actually it was 3 Chinese. We can’t forget Byron lee and Tom the great Sebastian.
Three? Nah, I was OK with one but three is over the line! I’m gonna start working on a reggae documentary that proves it was all Black Jamaicans. I‘m thinking I might call it “Selecta Check”. What you think?

Reggae is the heart beat, The Jamaican national motto is 'Out of Many One People', based on the population's multiracial roots.​

There’s a mural in Tobago on the wall across the street from the Scarborough Rituals that reverse engineers that motto.

I think 3 could make the case for 50/50 for real

Someone made a research video about Chinese pioneers of reggae

Turns out the Chinese pioneer of reggae got his influence from watching the ed Sullivan show watching black Americans do r and b music.
