Dear Quentin, sorry to disappoint you, but I think you need a history lesson. Puerto Ricans are not only of European descent, nor considered white. Only the ones in denile consider themselves white. They are a mixture of Spanish, African, and Native American. Like with all mixed race people, some genes are more dominant then others. My father for example is from Puerto Rico, and I take after my mother's side of the family which is African American, but my other siblings look like my father's side very light. I'm currently working with Kirk on a new show called Fringe. I could ask him whatever you'd like!

Thank you
I'm not putting anyone on blast, but I'm sick of people
saying that we're white. We're a combination of things.

Hey rafxx,
Can you ask this lovely man does he do house calls and can he materialize in my bed so that I can get some relief from him? I love him and he is so comforting when I look @ him. I love that soothing Miguel Alvarez OZ low voice he uses. It is so comforting and sexy. Tell him that I love him to death and I dream of him every night. -

Thank you, rafxx. You saved me the trouble. I couldn't care less how Kirk's genealogy breaks down, I'm just a big fan. My late husband was a tri-racial rock star and one of the most beautiful men ever to grace this planet. If you do talk to Kirk, please pass along my admiration for his work, which I've been applauding for what m111cust be 20 years now or more.

woah dude
latino's are basically native americans and spanish mixed
but even if you are from spain you are not white you are still hispanic/latino
and if you are from puerto rico you are defintely not white cmon dude what do you mean puerto ricans aren't the same as mexican's or other south american's
none are better than the other we're all latino's and should be proud of where we come from jennifer lopez is puerto rican she is a proud boriquan and she does not look white
so you need to get your facts straight man -

Just two additions to your fine post:
You said "even if you are from spain you are not white you are still hispanic/latino". Remember, too, that the Moors (northern Africans) ruled southern Spain for centuries, so are Spaniards white?
The other thing is what you said about his reference to "mexican's or other south American's" (BTW, what's with the apostrophes, 16d0Mr. Smartass?), as if they were somehow lower than a "white" Boriqua. Do you know the term "Bamba", like the old song? (It may be before your time.) Anyway, Spanish/Native American people were called "Mestizos", and when the Spanish started bringing in African slaves to replace all the Tainos they had killed in the Caribbean, they mixed with the Mestizos and their children were called "Bambos". This was true from the Mayan and Aztec tribes of Mexico down through most of South America, virtually wiping out the Incas and Amazon tribes, wherever the Europeans thought they'd find gold or jewels.
The progeny of all this tragedy, like all "Golden People", are among the most beautiful people in the world.

Stukach, you might want to do some real research before posting anything as blatantly ignorant as you have here. I have a number of "Nuyoriqueo" friends, and not one of them considers himself/herself "white." Neither do Jimmy Smits, Rosie Perez, the brilliant late Raul Julia, JeLo, nor countless others. Most Puerto Ricans are some of the "Golden People" (mixtures of three races and some of the most beautiful people on this planet). The only famous Puerto Rican I can think of who looks essentially "white" is Benicio Del Toro, and I'm confident that if you asked him he would freely admit to having some African and/or Native American blood. Even Puerto Ricans whose heritage is purely Spanish probably have some Moorish (north African) heritage, considering that the Moors controlled a large portion of Spain for centuries, just as they did Sicily. Your last line, "Puerto Ricans aren't the same as Mexicans or other similar South American people," was particularly offensive. As gross generalizations go, yours is one of the worst I've ever read. Maybe you're just trolling, in which case your purpose would be to offend as many people as possible. If that's the case, you have certainly succeeded.
