Ask any Jamaican what it feels like to be one of us during this time and the answer will be a unanimous...

As fun as it is to be recognized in a trend, it also becomes insulting as people barely bother to actually learn our culture. We are stereotyped as people who smoke ganja all day and say things such as "irie mon." The view of our culture has become limited, defined and restricted by things which are merely small parts of it.

At this time, we are not stereotyped or simply copied, but respected and admired. We are proudly Jamaica; out of many, one people. The Olympics and the victories it has brought us forces us to remember that, come together, and love ourselves and each other.
Then of course, there's also the obvious factor: we still a win!
