      @Bobby Knuckles I don't know why you had to write a bunch of stuff when what he clearly stated in the first time is that GEOGRAPHICALLY Guyana is not a Caribbean nation
      It's like saying we Mexicans aren't latinos because we are in North America, when clearly we do have a Latin American CULTURE
      Also History does """ change""" geography, take a look at Panama, historically belonged to the Viceroyalty of New Granada, and then to the Gran Colombia, so HISTORICALLY Panama is more of a "South American" country than a Central American one
      I don't get how you can't understand that, by using your logic we can also say North African people have more to do with sub Saharan African people than with middle Easterners, or that those middle Easterners should all have some sort of Chinese culture because they are in Asia or something

      Guyana (pronounced /ɡaɪˈɑːnə/ or /ɡaɪˈænə/), officially the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, is a country on the northern mainland of South America. It is, however, often considered part of the Caribbean region because of its strong cultural, historical, and political ties with other Anglo-Caribbean countries and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).

    As someone from Latin America, I always wondered who they were. You know, when looking at the maps you see the Guyana on a corner and when I was little I asked adults what was that country or why no one talked abt them like they talk about Argentina or Brazil, but they had no clue.

    Guyana, officially the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, is a country on the northern mainland of South America. It is, however, often considered part of the Caribbean region because of its strong cultural, historical, and political ties with other Anglo-Caribbean countries and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). Guyana is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the north, Brazil to the south and southwest, Venezuela to the west, and Suriname to the east. With 215,000 square kilometres (83,000 sq mi), Guyana is the third-smallest sovereign state on mainland South America after Uruguay and Suriname.
