: a Puerto Rican living in the US, especially in New York City.
Large targets on racism by other Latino ethnicities. Mostly due to the fact that Nuyoricans have targeted foreigners with the use of violence upon their arrival to the US during the late 1980s and early '90s. Yet, Nuyoricans happen to progress a lot more leaving impoverished "hoods" behind for them to claim, and therefore others hate to admit the fact that they've grown to become competitive with Nuyoricans because the Nuyorican is the main focus of their lives. The Nuyorican Movement is a strong cultural and intellectual trend involving poets, writers, musicians and artists who are Puerto Rican or of Puerto Rican descent, who live in or near New York City, and are Nuyoricans.
Besides Nuyorican artists like Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, there are many more like Miguel Piñero, Miguel Algarín, Piri Thomas, Willie Colón, and etc. Nuyoricans are also involved in, Law, Military, Doctors, and Politics such as; The U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, along with Judge Sonia Sotomayor: Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States among many others. 70% of NASA Scientists and Astronaut Hispanics are Nuyoricans like; Joseph M. Acaba, Roberto Alemán, and etc. Latino immigrants tend to stereotype the Nuyorican with envy insults since they cannot live up to the Nuyorican expectations and unable to comprehend why Nuyoricans are not as "jibado" (hick) as they are.

"Damn check out how that couple carry themselves, they're very attractive, dress nicely yet casual and respectful, seem very happy yet they look tough enough to beat you up in a heartbeat, they seem high class, and you can tell they definitely don't live around here or they used to! They MUST be Nuyoricans probably visiting family or something."
Latino immigrant #1- "Check out those dudes."
Latino immigrant #2- "Well are they White? Are they Black? Or mixed? I never seen dudes like that before, they definitely stand out."
Latino immigrant #1- "No, they're mixed and they do embrace all their races but they're Nuyoricans, they're not even from around here anymore but you can tell they used to live out here when Puerto Ricans once dominated these streets but they all moved out to do better."
Latino immigrant #2- "Ohhh so those are them!! I always heard of them but I actually thought they looked different since all I see are the junkie ones left behind, or the little young ones with single mothers, those tend to look like Metro-Sexuals because they're busy copying us since their 'OGs have left... Damn, I wouldn't "F" wit those dudes though, therefore, I would rather talk "S" about them from all the way over here OR on Social Media so that their young ones wouldn't know how outstanding their blood really is because then they'll hurt us."
