hispanic group. their island is in the caribbean, east of the dominican republic. puerto rican is made up of spanish(white), black, and taino(indian). while puerto ricans did not invent reggaeton, they are famous for it because no questions asked, reggaeton would not be where it is today if it wasn't for puerto ricans. most reggaetoneros are puerto rican ex. alexis y fido, daddy yankee, don omar, wisin y yandel.... people say that puerto ricans and dominicans are similar except dominicans come in all colors. matter of fact, so do puerto ricans.
Tego Calderon (reggaetonero), Daddy Yankee (reggaetonero), Don Omar (reggaetonero), Cheo Feliciano (salsa singer), Felix Trinidad (boxer), and Marc Anthony (salsa singer) are all 100% puerto rican and different colors.

Get the puerto rican mug.A place very commonly considered paradise, but what many people forget, is that this is an actual country, with an actual society and culture. Unfortunately, Costa Rica is known as simply paradise, and people only go there for the beaches, Eco-tourism, and luxury. They do not notice that the culture of this country is starving due to the amount of income coming in. What was once a beautiful society is now facing a heavy amount of crime. The tourism-oriented areas are the only ones where the crime is really a problem, other than the capital. The people of this country are the most good-hearted people when it comes to the root of it, but in a beach town consumed by tourism, foreigners are seen as dollar signs. There are some gang problems, and unfortunately, Maras are also present in the country. Also many beach towns are used heavily by the cartel, because of the young tourists being an easy target for drug trade. It's a beautiful country, but it's real beauty is in the heart, not what you see in the beach towns, such as Tamarindo.
American : "I LOVE COSTA RICA IT'S PARADISE"
Tico : "You've never been to the real Costa Rica, and you sound like an idiot saying that phrase 'pura vida' you gullible gringos"

Get the Costa Rica mug.I am Puerto Rican, but I must admit that the majority of US Puerto Ricans are cacos who try to mingle with the black folks because as we all know, the blacks are teh coolest people around. Not to mention, they've been fed alot of nonsense about how Puerto Ricans are all half-black, when only about 10% of the Puerto Rican population have any African ancestry.
All my mean-spirited cynicism aside, Puerto Ricans have had a rich history and harbor a very unique culture. From Africans, the Puerto Ricans have obtained the "bomba and plena", a type of music and dance including percussions and maracas. From the Amerindians, Puerto Ricans have kept many names for their municipalities, food, and other objects. From the Spanish they got the Spanish language, the Catholic religion, among other influences. Francisco Ayerra de Santa María was the first native born poet of Puerto Rico, documenting the history of the island. Cayetano Coll y Toste a celebrated historian and journalist of the island has also gained recognition in the development of Puerto Rican literature. Hell, even George Perez, Marvel and DC comic book artist, is a Puerto Rican.
Don't listen to these morons who spew garbage about Puerto Ricans being gangster or uber sexy people. They're the ones that make us look bad. We're better then the stereotypes.

"Being Puerto Rican is not about Reggaeton, Money, Cars, Having Arched Eyebrows, or acting black because you're so called Half-Black. Its about respecting and being a part of a great culture that has a great deal to do with Carribean identity."

Get the puerto rican pullout mug.Many people have bad misconceptions of puerto ricans. yes, they can be very prideful at times, but the majority of this race is very friendly, outgoing, and easy-going people. They love to party, dance, and drink. But they know when it's time for work and when it's time for play.:)
