Nobody in Puerto Rico would consider someone who is 10% White to be White in a million years. If you don't look White in PR you are not considered White. I have been there and someone who looked obviously Black could never get away with saying hey guys, I look Black but I'm actually White:rofl They would not be called White, most of the White or White Puerto Ricans would probably call them a ni##er not White. At least that's what alot of them called the Blacks when I was there:D In Puerto Rico you are considered White if you look White and say you're White. But when it comes to the census info...you are whatever you choose to identify with on the census, if you're 60% White and 40% Black and you check White on the census then you show up on the census as White but in Puerto Rican society no one is going to recognize someone like this as being White. They're not that color blind down there. They're just not one droppers. They consider anyone White who appears White and identifies White and if they are actually 10% Black or something no one really cares, they don't consider that to cancel out your Whiteness.  Puerto Rico definately isn't 80%pure White, no way Jose. But if you go there most of the people you will be seeing will appear White, at least they did to me, but alot of them may have distant Black ancestry, sometimes not that distant maybe 1/16 or 1/32, or some Taino blood but in Puerto Rico that is White. But then again there are plenty of purely European descended Puerto Ricans and the biggest contribution to the PR gene pool is European so it could be nearly impossible to tell the difference. Like the White Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin, is he really 100% European? Or does he have some small percentage of Black or Taino blood? If he does I can't tell so if he says he's White then I have no choice but to believe him I guess.   Alot of Puerto Ricans look as White as this.
