    Everyone is so ignorant. Puerto Ricans represent a nationality not a race. Just like anyone who is born in America is American by nationality regardless of race. A Puerto Rican person can be white, black, asian, native taino or some mix of these races. The vast majority of Puerto Ricans classify themselves as latin whites. If you ask me, Fat Joe looks like he has mostly European ancestry, he is probably at least a quarter Asian and maybe have a drop of native taino or cuban blood in him.

    But who the fuck cares. America is way too hung up on race for its own good. Everyone should start fucking someone of a different race so we as human beings can grow up and not sweat our meaningless bullshit differences. Mixed people stand up!

    white people used it on blacks during slavery
    black people dont like white people sayin 2 them
    cuz they feel offended
    i think puerto ricans and cubans who like black people can say it but not the ones who think they’e mexian when they r not
    first of all cubans and peurto ricans have black in them
    ya need 2 do some research so if puerto ricans and cubans r trying to dis black people than they’re dissing themselves
    well anyone who wants to say it go ‘head i guess this aint the slavery days
