Podcast Guest Shocks Viewers: ‘We Don’t Have Racism in Jamaica!
When a Jamaican man on a podcast said, “I didn’t even know about racism until I came to England,” the internet lit up.
In this video, Whitney McKoy breaks down what that statement really means — and why so many Jamaicans can relate.

So what can the world learn from Jamaica’s story?
And why does race hit different once you leave home?
