Not all the people in the hinterland are Amerindians

Not all the people in the hinterland are Amerindians

Dear Editor,
Whenever there is some new development in the hinterland the headline
reads Amerindians now have access to whatever, whether it be water or
electricity.
The point I am trying to make is that if you look at the ethnic make
up of these regions you would see that the people are not 100%
Amerindians.
Whenever there is report on Buxton, for example, the headline never
reads "African Guyanese now have greater access to new development"
and in a report on Lusignan the headline never reads "East Indians
now have greater access to a health facility."
Yours faithfully,
S Khan
