WHAT?

If you meant "Americans" with regards to the continent they were born in, yeah, Puerto Ricans are Americans (just like Colombians and Canadians).

I've been at their airport a couple of times and have interacted with the locals there, and trust me, gringos, they ain't. Culturally, that is.

For a Puerto Rican to move to the US is very much like for any other immigrant from Latin America.

I don't see anything insulting in his post. Yes, Puerto Ricans are sort of US Citizens (they can't vote, which is what's considered the most important right here), and they're allowed to move freely into the continental US, but culturally someone born and raised here (in the US) and someone born and raised in PR are two very different people.

>Puerto Ricans are Americans. It is a commonwealth of the U.S.. They are U.S. citizens by birth. Moving to the U.S. is like moving from one state to another. It is all America. They have a distinct and rich culture, but they are NOT immigrants. Your post was actually insulting. Of course they are as American as they come - they are Americans!
