in the dominican republic there are some areas where there are more full black people than other areas like in the south. e.g. san pedro de macoris, that place is full of afro-dominicans [excluding mulattos] most are either descendants of african slaves or haitians, so i think pr is the same. some areas could have more people from one race than other areas, and i think that fixed look rafael is talking about are mulattos or mestizos? i dont know much about puerto rico, but this is what wiki says
White (mostly Spanish origin) 75.8%, Black 12.4%, Asian 0.2%, Amerindian 0.5%, SOR 7.8%, other 3.3%
i dont know if i believe this, because most puerto ricans do not look white like ricky martin, they either look mulatto e.g. rosie perez, la la vasquez or mestizo e.g. ramon rodriguez, roselyn sanchez

No way is Puerto Rico 75.8% white. Somebody is suffering from inferiority issues. And the black% population looks awfully low.

hey fuzzybear,you must be confusing my posts with someone else,ive posted that we come in all colors,those puerto ricans that deny black blood still arent as bad as the ones who are black and tell everyone and their mother that all puerto ricans are black,what everyone here has to realize is that all kinds of people still move to pr and call it home,so they are prs and so are their kids born on the island,but it doesnt mean that now we all share their,bloodline

I understand very well,but it’s no different than the ones,stating that all PR’s are white. Also how do you know those PR’s that are saying that,don’t share the same historical bloodline.I mean no offense,but didn’t you say you don’t live in PR?From my studying some areas are more populated by certain coloration,so maybe those people are coming from those areas .However I gotta say from the pic I googled,these people look pretty mixed to me.My nieces family are PR’s and they are without a doubt mixed

My point was that Puerto Ricans like any other latinos are all different, some look alike & some dont. Not that fixed look that you were talking about.

There is no fixed look,I work with a few puerto ricans and I couldn’t tell them apart from some of the other latina women there.There some that also live in my neighborhood,their different color,some are black or what I call black.I don’t know why your trying to fool people

Where do you come up with that nonsense,there is no fixed look for Puerto Ricans.I hang out with Puerto Ricans,you have dark ones,light ones.Some with curly hair,some straight.Get out of here with that stuff.

no fuzzy bear my point is puerto ricans come in all colors,from the whitest to the blackest,but every time there is a white one all i hear is they must be mixed with white,but every time there is a black one, well see puerto ricans are black,you cant have it both ways

@ Rafeal
Are you an idiot? Theres no fixed looked for Puerto Ricans? They look like any other latina women from Mexico,South America,Cuba,etc. PR’s like any other latinas are tan,light,dark,curly hair,straighten hair,short hair,long hair. Fixed look dude what the hell? I am Mexican from my dads side & puerto rican/italian from my mothers side but my moms grandmother & her family which are full puertoricans look like normal latina woman/men. They dont all look like multiplied twins who look exactly alike with a “fixed” look. Stop being ignorant.

It’s funny out of the 4 people who commented,It’s me you reply to.Anyhow I never say all white Puerto Ricans had recent black heritage.I said going by your own DNA expert,1 in 3 did.However you guys go out of your way to deny it.I’ve seen PR’s that are obviously part black,who look you right in the face,and tell you there not.Then there others on this site that say the African blood in PR’s should have never happen,but they will take the benefits of having the black blood;but hate the source.
