Don't be too annoyed when certain ignorance smacks you in the face, just laugh at it.
For example:
If someone asks how you how you learned to speak english and speak it so well at that. you'll probably smile when you think to yourself that you probably weren't even a teenager by the time you knew that they speak mainly portuguese in brazil, spanish in cuba, german in germany etc. etc. yes, we grew up knowing that there exists a world outside jamaica and we learned about that world
If someone expresses surprise that there are buildings taller than two stories, skyscrapers even in jamaica. Yes, there is a strange notion that seemingly exists among some '1st worlders' that jamaica (and most of the other islands) comprises mainly of rugged paths, huts along the beach and the 'natives' under coconut trees smoking weed all day.
And if they're surprised that business in jamaica exists a lot like business in the rest of the world with a stock market etc. etc. .. just say 'yes wow' along with them.
