You ever been to Puerto Rico? I would say white people are the majority there. 75% might be too high of a number though. More like 55-60%.
nah White people are not the majority in PR

when people there think of Black they think of African Americans(as oppose to Africa) whom they look down on so they choose to id as White instead of morenos

This thread delivers.... as expected. Tú eres lo que te sientes. Sé y realizo quien soy yo... y nada nunca cambiará eso. Negro y orgulloso!!!!

c/s.......... u are who u feel u are

Like Brazilians in my part of recife and salvador know they black just like brazilians in parts of rio know they black..

The ones u have to worry about are the brazilians in sao paulo, who know they are black but since they have enough money cause money is everything they feel they are mixed even tho they darker than wesley snipes neck

I always looked at ricans or other "hispanic" people as just simply an ethnic group made up of black, mixed and cacs. Same way "Americans" can be asian, african, european, etc. A chick like Christina Millian :inlove: is just a black woman from Cuba to me that fukks with Habenero peppers and beans. :yeshrug: Nothing hard to understand.

I do know that some Ricans try to cling onto that spain shyt as it's apparently an "honor" to have white people in your family to a lot of people these days. I knew a chick that was black from St.Martin talking about she "dutch".

I really need to teach you people how nationality and ethnicity work one day. Anyway Puerto Rico is not homogenous. It's not monolithic.

It amazes me how many coli peeps can make 100k a year in IT but can't understand the difference between nationality and ethnicity.


Shocking.

And if Puerto Rico were the size of Brazil, 150 million would consider themselves white :mjpls:

Puerto Rico is small though :whew:

by the way..back in the day we only gave US citizenships to 'white' Ricans

that alone would make muthafukkas start claiming 'white'
