While Sat Maharaj’s concern is bogus, I think this paragraph shows some confusion.

“Sat said Mr. Manning is sending the message that Trinidad is a mono culture society. You are wrong as usual Sat, Mr. Manning is sending the message that this is a mono 'national' society, we are all Trinidadians. If you insist otherwise that you're an Indian then please feel free to migrate to India.”
Nationality is a legal status that says one belongs to a nation. People can change their nationality.
Race is a group of people with common features. Race is also annexed to the land where people developed their common features. So there are people of different races called Indians, Chinese, Africans, Europeans/Caucasians and mixed-race who are all Trinidad and Tobago 'Nationals'.
Given that Africans were forced to this country and Africans faced many other dehumanizing conditions, the nation of Trinidad and Tobago should recognize this. The government should be about correcting present and historical injustices.
Given that racism (which affects all nationals) resulted from European miseducation that is tied to slavery, and the Indian Caste System miseducation, then the government should also be contributing to end racism.
Our education system should reflect the experiences of the different racial groups that comprise the nation of Trinidad and Tobago.
We are nationals of different races.
