Puerto Rican can be both a nationality and an ethnicity. (Feel free to Google definitions.)
DEFINITION
Nationality: the status of belonging to a particular nation.
I alwais thought he was Mexican.
If you’re from the United States, your ethnicity is American and you can have more than one ethnicity. Just like how it works for other populations…English, Nigerian, Italian, Fijian, Bolivian, Canadian, etc
DEFINITION
Ethnicity: the fact or state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition.
Erik is an icon and trailblazer in Hollywood. He starred in C.H.I.P.S. in the 1980s, playing 1 of 2 main motorcycle cops. He was a heartthrob and breakout star at a time when most tv and films were dominated by White actors and there was even less POC representation than there is today.
American is a nationality unless you’re talkin about Natives. Same with Australian, Canadian and New Zealander
Since when is Puerto Rican an ethnicity?
It’s a nationality, like the United States.
United States is a country not a nationality.
