Usain Bolt Beating Classism And Racism In Jamaica

Usain Bolt says the "strong badmind" displayed by some members of Jamaica's upper class was contrasted by the positive reactions of ordinary Jamaicans.

Jamaica's sporting star Usain Bolt has admitted that he has faced "strong" levels of classism and racism from Jamaica's upper class throughout his rise as a global athletics icon. The multiple world and Olympic record holder recalled how he was left 'shocked' by the reactions of neighbours when he moved into an upscale St Andrew apartment complex.

"Especially when I started out. It was more shocking than anything else. That was how I ended up buying my house," Bolt told journalist Ian Boyne during the personality programme, Profile on Television Jamaica, Sunday.

"I was living in a complex and I had issues with a few of the lighter-skinned people. I used to live near a lawyer and when I moved in, he said to me 'be careful, they don't like to see young people strive,'."
