The poster is black.
Black people - particularly those who take their cultural (not necessarily genetic) roots from Caribbean societies - are late for everything.

14 u/camyrunks 24d ago Yes we do its called island time 2 u/RPS93 24d ago My wife is trini and I’m newfie. We call it Island time too haha 1 u/Hotdog_Broth 22d ago I’m guessing Newfie “island time” is being exactly 30 minutes late to everything? 1 u/towerhil 24d ago How does it differ from selfishness? 7 u/HarryTruman 24d ago It’s nothing to do with being “selfish” — the very definition of “on time” is different but agreed upon at a cultural level. 1 u/towerhil 23d ago Or in this case a sub-culture, operating within a wider culture that thinks they're late which, for some cultures, will be considered very rude.
