First off let me say that i'm not racist in any way. second i'm a puerto rican proud to be one and am darker than what most people think puerto ricans look like. Let me tell you a story, about 10 years ago when i was a teenager i was dating this puerto rican girl of european ancestry and we were really in love. When it was time to meet her parents, I noticed espiecially with her father that he was looking at me as if I wasn't going to be accepted by her parents. 2 days later she told me she couldn't be with me because i was a black puerto rican and her parents wanted a puerto rican of european ancestry to improve their race or whitening of their family. This is racism right here. my family explained to me that it is not all puerto ricans but there are some who prefer white over black because some think being black is ugly and whitening of their skin will improve their chances of sucess. tell me what you have to say about this.
Is there hidden discriminiation towards black puerto ricans?
I don't know, but I can tell you this. I'm redheaded and I feel discriminated against all the time. People think because I'm redheaded that I have some special place or meaning or I don't know, but they really treat me like ****. Not only that but I moved here to the south from the west and these southerners are not very kind. I looked it up and this state is the 48th most livable in the united states. I don't have any idea why but I'm sure it has something to do with their stubborn and selfish endeavors.
Reply:sweetheart, in life you will learn that they're discrimination, hidden or not toward ALL ppl. You are nothing special

Reply:People who care more about skin color or other superficial attributes are everywhere.
The people who want to know us for who we are, they are the ones worth caring about.

Someday like Martin Luther Kings dream will come to pass! Amen It gets closer all the time.............
Reply:Most of the Puerto ricans don't care about if you are black or not, because we all have something African in our blood (I'm Puerto rican too). I think is European the ones that have some problem with black Puerto ricans.
