I read an interesting blog out of New Orleans, raises the question of whether Puerto Ricans feel more American or Latin American, with regard to a comment made by Filiberto Ojeda’s widow after his assassination: She says that puertoricans identify more with Latin America, than the United States. On the other hand, many people don’t consider Puerto Rico as part of Latin America at all…But even many puertoricans don’t consider themselves latin americans. I guess I’m wondering how you guys view Puerto Rico or puertoricans, do you think they would fall under Latin Americans, Americans or do we have a special class all by ourselves?  I humbly offer that regardless of territorial issues and U.S. depletion and exploitation of the island, Puerto Rico has more in common with Latin America than with the United States. Up for debate: How do Puerto Ricans in the U.S. and on the island differ in their inclination towards a Latin American or U.S. identity? How do U.S. Puerto Ricans reconcile national pride with the atrociti committed by the U.S. on the island over decades? Should they have to? I’m interested in hearing comments from anyone and everyone interested in the topic. check out the messege board to discuss on the topic.
