of course trinidad is black but in PUERTO RICO SKIN COLOR AIN'T **** PRIDE AND REPPING A FLAG AND CALLING OURSELF PUERTO RICANS INSTEAD OF TAN RICAN OR BLACK RICAN.
That's true for Puerto Ricans in the U.S., but not for the ones here. White Puerto Ricans can be extremely snnobish and prejudiced, and even darker-skinned Puerto Ricans deny their color and race. In the 2000 census it came out that 87% of PRicans describe themselves as white, what does that say? In the U.S. Puerto Ricans consider nationality to be a race because Americans lump all latinos together in the "Latino" group because they consider us inferior to American whites, but different from American blacks. So people consider "Puerto Rican" and "Mexican" races, but for those of PR or Mex blood, they do it as a means of solidarity between each other and in order to have an identity and something to belong to in a system that sees them ass second class.
And as for this whole "is PR a country or not" thing, the island is U.S. PROPERTY but definitely not a PART of the U.S. TECHNICALLY (by government definition) it's a U.S. territory, but the language, culture, location, traditions and history we have more than make us a country of our own. We are U.S. property because they seized control of us from Spain, who invaded us in the 15th century. While many aspects of daily life have undoubtedly been influenced by the U.S., this is still a separate entity as far as culture is concerned.
