This I know, I'm Puerto Rican myself with an Irish last name (but that side of my family is black/habao).

There has been plenty of mixing on the islands (and mainlands) (my cuban friend is chinese somewhere down the line, tipo great grandfather). Heck, I've got some Arab blood in me too! But that's my point, there is so much mixing, it's ignorant to say that a person is just white. A person has no idea what's running through their DNA.

Bot to sound like a creep (bc I am on anon) but what part of PR are you from?

I was born in Ceba. At the now defunct Rosie Roads. Dad was Navy. Mom had family there all over the island though my grandparents are from Isabela. That's where I used to go for the Chinese food. It was just like across the square from the church, if I remember right. The restaurant was next to a five and dime. It has been a long time since I've been there since most of my family moved to Florida. Because we are stereotypically Puerto Rican. Born there, mom's family moved to New York and New Jersey. Then some moved back to the island but most moved to Florida.

Nice! My mom always tells me about how good the chinese food in PR was...

Born in Ponce, most of my family (both sides) is from there, but I grew up in NY, as most of my family (both sides) moved up to NY. Pops is a Nuyorican, my mom was straight from the island. And like you, and most PRicans, my extended family is located all over the east coast, with an abnormally high amount in NY and FL.

See, I can understand NY but FL? It's so close to PR that the only reason why I see not just moving back to the island is that you can register to vote in FL. Outside of that...no. No. My family is always telling me to move down there to be with the rest of the family but I think Florida is the only state in the Union that I have no desire to move to.
