Everybody is "mixed people" if you want to get serious about it. So then everybody should just put "other"
there is a white experience now, but in your grandparent's, maybe even your parent's time, "white" people were not all treated the same and many identified with the country of origin or that of their parents. on the east coast you still Irish, Italian, even Portuguese neighborhoods. various European groups in America opted for the term white because there is privilege in identifying as white. blacks never had a choice to identify by our country of origin. you can talk about the Africans who sold their own into slavery until your face turns red, but you can't explain why it was necessary for whites in the new world to forbid Africans from passing down their history or practice their religions.
Ethnicity has no bearing on the attackers. They attacked her based on her appearance: her hair, skin & features. These traits do not resemble theirs. Racism is based on outward appearance more so than a persons ethnic background or nation of origin.
What's the fact? Puerto ricans aren't a race. Yeah. Puerto ricans are an ethnicity. So. Does that exclude Puerto ricans from having whites in this ethnicity or other races? No. So was she attacked because she was a white Puerto rican. Yeah! So it was racism. So where is your fact? Thank you for thinking this through that Puerto ricans have races with in them.
Puerto Rican is not an ethnicity, it is a nationality. (it is a US territory, but it is no less a country culturally than Guam). the ethnicity is Latino or Hispanic. the girl in the video is of mixed race, but you are aware there are Puerto Ricans who look like black people? anyways, you admit they attacked her because of her appearance, so there's really nothing else to say. there is nothing that proves it was because of her type of hair or skin color. are you going to tell me that there aren't black girls who get beaten up by other little blacks girls because of their appearance?

Truth...now seeing his edit. Being "white" was a choice on their parts, so the color label is their identity. The idea of labeling people "black" came from "whites" to they can keep it. Love the bold, so true. Yet a number still maintain the ties, though it was harder some places like the U.S.

I would definitely leave a black woman for a white woman. Easy.
Yeah!
So it was racism.
So where is your fact? Thank you for thinking this through that Puerto ricans have races with in them.
