Part 4 of this documentary is showing the Caribbeans journey to England, most of them were surprised at the state of the country on their arrival as it did not match their expectations. A person within the documentary states that they were 'surprised of people's ignorance of the West Indians.' In accordance to the documentary it appears to me that the West Indians were very friendly citizens particularly to the British as the woman states that they would say 'Good morning' to their white neighbours but they would not receive any reply from them. Therefore, from this it seems that there were cultural differences between the whites and the West Indians as the West Indians were taught/brought up to respect others; however the white citizens may not have appreciated that as it was in their nature not to talk to strangers. It was as if the British people were just using the West Indians for their work (during the war) because after World War Two their attitudes towards them drastically changed. Which resulted in the West Indians feeling lonely and isolated as they were not prepared to be treated in this way and for them to see another fellow black person was such a good feeling as they knew they were not alone.
