Reader comments:
- I understand where the comments from both the Hon
Roy Bodden and Walling Whittaker come from. But I do not believe that it is
in our Caymanian nature to do so. There is a reason that the vast majority
of tourist-related jobs go to expats on this island. It is that we simply do
not want them.
We've spent generations living a simple life to ourselves and now find that
in order to continue to thrive on our own island we must be forced to smile
and cater to the needs of tourists? Are we now nothing more than the
bankers, cleaners and construction workers of people not born of this
island? Why are we being continually encouraged to accept subservient
positions and change the way that our culture has molded us? I for one do
not want a job at the Ritz. I do not want to smile for the people coming
here to spend their money. I do not want to fight in traffic everyday as
more and more hotels, restaurants and office descend on our island.
And please understand this! Hon Roy Bodden and Mr. Whittaker - this
Caymanian will not become a servant in his own house. So please stop asking
all of us to do so - Jerome Bush
