I'm new to Barbados. I would describe myself as a Black person who happens to be biracial. I thought I would fit in really well here but I find that I am getting weird reactions from some people because my skin tone (similar to Halle Berry/ Sade/ Bob Marley) seems to be very rare in Barbados  although it's common in the US. Sometimes I get bad treatment from people who are darker than me; I also get really bizzare reactions from people who are a bit lighter than me (not white) who form a small but signficant group in this country. 
I daren't discuss it with anyone because Barbados is so small; everyone seems to know everyone here. Has anyone got any thoughts on this 
or is it too taboo to talk about?
