    Default What percentage of Puerto Ricans do you think could fit in Europe?

    This isn't a matter of WHERE they'd fit.. but of the Puerto Ricans you know, around what percentage could?

    I find it hard to believe, unlike what I read online, that the majority of Puerto Ricans are 80%+ European and that most people back on the island look perfectly European.

    Every Puerto Rican I know has visible African input, plus some Amerindian as well.

    80%? Judging from the Puerto Rican immigrants I've seen in the United States, I would say under 30%.

    Most PRs in the US are black enough that going by the "if they look part black they're black" rule, they would be "black" even if not as dark as an African American.

    It's usually the refuse that move to the US. From what I have seem of pictures from PR, I think it would be AT MOST 5%.

    The average Puerto Rican I see in the US is probably within this range --
    60% Euro, 30% Afro, 10% Amerindian.

    No they're not. Are you from the east coast? Most PRs around here have more overlap with the sicilians, greeks, jews, and other "ethnic" whites than they do with black americans or even dominicans.

    Of all of the Puerto Ricans I've known.. none have looked Sicilian, Greek, or Jewish. I often mistake them for lighter skinned Cape Verdeans, Dominicans, or for Brazilian.

    Again, where you from dude? I find it hard to believe that you've never a white looking PR. Even the ghetto Nyc-ricans look closer to whiggers than they do dominicans, much less cape verdeans.

    the Northeast.
    Average Puerto Ricans in the northeast look like this. Show me one person in there who looks Greek, Sicilian, or anything of the like.
