I happen to be Puerto Rican myself and I've noticed that there seems to be a lot of misconceptions about us. We're not all stupid dirty cacos like some dumbass hick would have you believe and some of us actually have real goals and lead honest lives instead of selling drugs and living off welfare.
And no, not all of us like reggaeton and have bad taste in music, a good number of us listen to a variety of music including rock(in fact there's an increasing number of headbangers and alternative types here in the island).
And we don't ALL hate the USA or Americans. Sure some do, mostly the right wingers from the separatist party hate the US but not all us, in fact, a good number of Puerto Ricans would like nothing more than to make Puerto Rico a state of the US but that's not likely to happen any time soon.

An island smaller than Rhode Island but with the ability to produce incredibly good looking people :) and PLEASE do not judge them for what a "newyorican" do or acts like. Meet a real one before making your decision.
such as small island can produce 5 miss universe (currently) while as big as the US is they only have 7. That should tell you something about puerto rican women

1. a person born on the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico; a person of Puerto Rican lineage living in any part of the world, especially the United States. 2. a type of Latino gene pool, considered by many to be the most mixed and diverse. 3. warriors or warrior blood that culminates beautiful, strong, powerful people.
The guy's eyes look greyish-honey. Does he wear contacts? Answer: No, he is Puerto Rican, and that is his natural eye color. Those Puerto Ricans are very proud of their culture and island; it must be because of their history, beauty, fearlessness, talents, and that damn beautiful, special island of theirs... Mommy, I wish I was Puerto Rican instead of Mexican. Why wasn't I born in Puerto Rico?
