Yeah, I heard her say that too, but I don't buy it. I suspect there's some african blood in there (maybe her family wanted to hide it and its been forgotten, which is not uncommon). Looking at her face, and her hair texture, I personally believe that her looks are a result of are " throw-back" gene telling a tale about her family history. Not uncommon. My cousin and her husband both have brown eyes and brown hair kinky/curly111c hair. their son, however has loosl curled light blond hair, blue eyes and paler skin than the both of them. He looks like the both of them, it just the colors and the hair texture that makes him look so different.

If Puerto Ricans are so stubborn about not being black, even if they clearly are, then why are they always settling into black neighborhoods, wearing black styles of clothing, listening to black music, wearing braids and doo-rags, etc.?

Not all the puertorrican are blacks, if yo5b4u see an african american, you are not going to say that all the americans are blacks, Rosie Perez is obviously a mix of black and Spanish with Taino indian blood, but many puertorricans are whites because their families come from european countries like the former president of the Olimpic team of Puerto Rico, the puertorrican German Rieckehoff Sampayo, his family was from Germany and Spain. And you can check other puertorricans that are whites like Dayanara Torres, she has black hair now, but she is a natural blonde and with blue eyes, others white puertorricans are Freddie Prinze, Jr., Denisse Quinonez and Frankie Muniz. In Puerto Rico people descend also from England, Scotland, like the President of the Senate of Puerto Rico, Kenneth Mc Klintock, or Ireland, like the actual mayor of the city of Guaynabo, Hector O` Neill, Italy, France and from other part of the world not only Europe like Asia, and other parts of Latin America. In the mountains from the center of the island, you can see many puertorricans with blond hair and blue or green eyes more frecuently than in the coast where the people are more mix with the black race.
Here is a picture of the puertorrican actress Dayanara Torres:

Are the Puerto Ricans with money mostly white? Most of the ones that live here on the mainland US are brown or black. Something tells me that the white ones don't need to come here because they are wealthy where they are. Is that true?

Is true, few whites puertorricans emigrate to USA for economy reasons, they didn
t have to do that, more brown or black emigrates to the states because theyre more poor. And lonnigan004 is correct about Latin America, too.

This is not totally correct. Many white skin Puerto Ricans still have African ancestry but they have been able to "whiten" up the current generations within their family in some of these cases. There is MUCH research done to prove this. Just because they are white "looking" does not mean there is no African down the road in that family line. Based on the history of Puerto Rico it would be damn near impossible for any descedent of that race to deny that there is an African or several African ancestors lurking within their family tree.
Daynara actually does not look Caucasian white even with the blonde hair. She looks like a mulata with a dye job. She actually reminds me of a white/black mulata at times. Take a look at Robert Dinero's adopted daughter( she is black/white) if you don't believe meShe and Daynara could pass for sisters. At the end of the day, there is nothing wrong with African ancestry so anyone that is denying it is an a disgrace to its beautiful history anyway. -

doesnt matter what she is it is what's in your heart and what you identify with. don't be so ignorant. puerto ricans are the best culture in the world and beautiful people. you know why? because it is a fact that we are mixed with every culture in the world but still love and maintain our pride and roots. she is of the human race and trying to make a difference. what color she is just doesnt matter unless you are that shallow.
