No place here for divisive language

Whether a lifelong resident, part-time homeowner or visitor, the Cayman Islands have always provided a welcoming, community-like atmosphere offering an opportunity to retreat from the many crises, woes and divisions that plague our world today. Building upon this mindset will no doubt support reestablishing a robust return to tourism.

How disheartening, then, to see a ‘Let’s go Brandon’ sign displayed at Rum Point Residences. This phrase is a well-known code for vulgar language demeaning US President Joe Biden. Such reference to offensive language and divisive politics has no place on our Island.

The locale’s website takes understandable pride in efforts they make seeking to bring a positive impact on the community, citing its founding of Property Cayman Cares 2021. 

Claiming that their ‘collaborative efforts’ make a difference, one has to wonder: How does publicly displaying such an inappropriate and crass sentiment help build the type of community they claim to seek?
