Racism Between Virgin Islanders

Dear Source,
As a Virgin Islander in the state of Texas, born and raised in St. Croix, I have faced racism from our own Virgin Islanders. I attended and graduated from UT in Austin, Texas. And it is a crying shame how the students from St. Thomas behavior toward the students from St. Croix. It is like we are from two different planets. So, when we start talking about racism, we as Virgin Islanders need to clean our own back yard up first.
