Political debate occurring here?

[edit]

The article states: "Their popularity (and profitability) have declined in recent years as increasingly racist calypsos have alienated many Indo-Trinidadians[citation needed]. To provide a more Indian-friendly environment, and to showcase chutney-soca artistes, Massive Gosine established a Chutney Tent which, unlike traditional tents, is thriving[citation needed]."

- the lack of citations and strong language used here suggests there is some local information and politics that is not being clearly described, and this article needs to be cleaned up in some way. Either a cited reference needs to be provided to note the political divide regarding Calypso Tents and presence of racism, or this section needs to be deleted if it's an unhappy party making unsubstantiated claims. Clearly somebody is unhappy about what is currently happening. I am an outsider who was just reading and learning about calypso so I can't comment either way. It looks like the article needs cleaning up to meet wiki standards though.
