While I agree that there is certainly an almost anti-black sentiment in PR, the reality is that each individual is still a different mix. Sure, we dont know what their DNA says, but we dont necessarily already ask non hispanic black and white americans for their DNA when they identify as white, black, or mixed.

Im not saying that we should sit back and instantly create definitive images for Puerto Ricans to say this is what a black Puerto Rican looks like or anything like that. What Im saying is that throwing any sort of arbitrary title over the whole island isnt remotely accurate, and just as American doesnt denote race, neither should hispanic.

This is an interesting double standard, its good you pointed it out.

nobody asks a US white guy what is your DNA? Show me ancestry.con generic markers please when he says he is white. Yet Latinos do get the I bet youre mixed, youre not white, 1 drop rule, bro! Stuff
