There aren't all that many white people in Laurelton. Not sure why that would even be part of the article. Its racist.

If you are well informed , you would know that there are a lot of projects that are happening in downtown Jamaica , and there will be office buildings and many other things . In the next 3 to 5 years there will be big transformation in downtown jamaica .

If they are local ghetto slobs, what does that make you huh? Good luck living in condos next to the noisy airport.

Having worked in Jamaica twice, for a total of almost five years, it's my observation that much of the population are ghetto slobs.
