        I am not agreeing with LOL's statement but the truth is expats continue to take on local names as they mix and marry the locals, so there is no need to differentiate now.

      Actually the concern as has happened and is being played out much to the detriment of these Vi,is culture and character that is adverse to a quality of life attributed to these Vi. Unlike most of the Caribbean Island chain with unimaginablec amounts of Natural resources,our sole resouce was the character of its people which attributed to the import and settlenent of investors and investing. Hurricane and dry weather ,we have and can survive but this advent of crime dominated by the too massive importation of life and living destroyers, the ongoing human character and attributes of CARiCOMERS,we can in no way survive.. And yes,these casual human destroyers are dominantly of one specific race as we all know see hear and nauseate.
      No lie...These VI have and has always had a choice of the architects and builders of a society worthy to be and come and join.
      Why this broke down group is given priority is simply self destrucive,a death wish. Fact.. The prison population an loose criminals in these VI are the majority updeislun or child of one or both such parents.
