Puerto Rico is an American nation, so it has not a homogeneous population. American colonization.
Not even Bolivia or Guatemala are homogeneous.
Saying that PR are such and such is implying that PR is an old world country, or just like saying that Americans are such and such.
Aruba, Trinidad, Guyana are basically non assimilated non-whites and hard working minorities from India,etc, and a few white people that are mosly from the vestiges of colonial power (civil servants, etc).
As to being Latin America, of course not. Those territories were Spanish but were occupied by pirates.
English were wise by importing Indians, if not the islands would be another Haiti.
i don't know why you are including Aruba in that statement.
and at your last statement. You must not know much about Guyana.
The term Latin America is use in many different ways.
1. All countries south of the US
2. All Latin speaking countries
3. All Spanish speaking countries
4. A substitute for South America
I tend to agree with the third option.
Latin America definitely doesn't include places that aren't even in the Americas...
Latin Countries would include the Latin European countries like Spain and Italy, but Latin America clearly implies that the country needs to be both Latin (culturally, linguistically) and in the Americas...
And yet having the largest % of Indians Guyana is the poorest country in the English speaking Caribbean. Barbados, Antigua and the Bahamas are over 90% black and are the richest.
I can only wonder about the depths of sordid racism which exists within the souls of some people.

When I said “all Spanish speaking” I was referring to those located in the Americas exclusively. But, I made a mistake in my original post, because I wanted to say all Latin speaking countries.
