<p>Really interesting link, entomom! </p>
<p>Most of the Puerto Ricans that I know (including my son) come from a certain blend of backgrounds, and that ethnic background is African, Native American, and Spain Spanish, so on face value, one definitely sees the African influence. My son has been called, “The whitest black guy” by at least two people who have met him for the first time. African-Americans have been known to ask me if my son is part black.</p>
<p>Even after being on these forums, it’s still very confusing to me.</p>
