Newyorkrican 

1. A person of Puerto Rican descent (both parents) not born in Puerto Rico but born in New York.

2. Newyorkrican also can refer to a first born Puerto Rican child not born in Puerto Rico but in New York.

3. Newyorkrican is a special title give to Puerto Rican's not born in Puerto Rico. This is the only title recognized in New York and Puerto Rico. Puerto Rican's born in other states are not granted this special meaning for their specific state. Only New York is recognized!

4. All other definitions seem to degrade what a Newyorkrican is into a wanna be black person. This is simply not true. Puerto Rican's are Puerto Rican's by blood not just Island status. Sounds like Puerto Rican's are a little bit jealous of Newyorkricans.
