I don't think I'd be bothered? But I'm not sure what a white Puerto Rican is? The ones in my group have Puerto Rican parents. But their 1 of their grandparents are white
 
If a Puerto Rican said the N word but they looked like Cameron Diaz or Nick Lashay.

You would be fine with that?
 
I am not saying those people ARE Puerto Rican


I am saying if there WERE Puerto Ricans that looked LIKE Diaz or Lashay, would it still be cool.
 
Sure.

The question is on the table.

If a Dominican, Puerto Rican, Salvadorian, looked like an Anglo, would yall be cool with THEM saying it?

I just want to know the logic behind who deserves a pass or not
 
What about Big Pun (R.I.P)? Would you have told him (or someone like him) he cant say it? Srs question and honestly curious
 
Being "cool" is relative to who you are and where you're from. Like folks said certain parts of NY/LA are so integrated, folks are on top of each other that mingling of culture and words were unavoidable. That in itself is now it's own little culture, you'll be born into it already seeing folks of all different races already using it. It'll be what you know vs someone from more segregated communities.

Growing up in the BX it was weird seeing folks have issues with Puerto Ricans/Dominicans of any shade saying it when I left NY, but I understood.

I don't want ANY of them saying it.

I don't hand out passes based on how cool someone is.

I am the wrong person to ask

I'd have to know they were Puerto Rican. But i know what u mean. My gym teacher is a white cuban.

If they were my friend and I knew that they were from pr yes no prob. But on the outside, if i didn't know and I heard it, I'd press up
 
Many of those Rican's who self identify as white on census forms aren't actually white tho.

If you went purely by census reponses you would probably expect South TX to look like Barcelona demographically.

Most PRs are Triracial, the ones that are actually white enough to be considered white are a small minority.
