Loyalty to African Caribbean or African origins

Over half (57 per cent) of the mixed-parentage sample had made one or more visits to their black parent’s country of origin, so to them, at least, it was not an abstract concept. Most spoke enthusiastically about their visits, although some who had visited African countries had been offended by encounters with sexism and anti-white sentiments. However, in virtually all cases the experience had been little more than a pleasant holiday, and they had not been tempted to settle there.
