Am I crazy?
WOC here. Went to Turks recently for a short trip. Previous to arriving it seemed like an island with lots of POC travelers especially from the United States. After leaving, I can say I felt like I was in apartheid South Africa. We stayed at the Grace Bay Club Resort and we were the only black guests on property until day 4 of our trip. We decided to check out Coco Bistro and again the only black people at the restaurant (and this is a standalone restaurant that theoretically natives and tourist alike could go to). The vibe felt incredibly weird too. We thought having lots of Haitians around especially at the GBC would be nice since I am half Haitian but their demeanor towards us was not the best and the service was particularly lacking compared to other Caribbean islands. I’m genuinely confused because online it seemed like a heavily POC friendly place. We went to other restaurants on the island that were recommended and even visited other resorts etc and still the same thing. Did I miss something? It felt particularly discriminatory and the vibe was ailing.
