Puerto Rican Crowds

[Daven]

The manifestation crowds from San Juan= identical to Orlando and northeast Puerto Ricans. The crowd from Yauco= identifical to them as well.

Where I see a slight difference is in SOME lf the group photos from the universities but nothing crazy anyways. Perhaps some class bias there involved and that's why. Styling again could play a role as well.

Styling can make you look more SSA is what I'm saying. Like when you get a buzz cut and shit and some facial hair aka candado. I'm telling you because it happens to me all the time. The Puerto Ricans here are heavily into hip hop culture so they try hard to fit. You won't see many Puerto Rican girls with pelo largo alisado like you see in many of these pictures of San Juan.

I think that's actually quite true. I was thinking something similar about bad bunny - when he dresses in a more "preppy" way he looks more average Puerto Rican to me.

You definitely could pass all over PR, but as you guessed you would be more typical in the East and very atypical in the West and the mountains.

I used to think he was a quadroon or something. He fits well in North Africa.

I'm approx 56-60% European depending on the test/calculator.

With my admixture where In Puerto Rico I pass more? I'm from western Mexico origin.

Here are the results from the classic regional study of Puerto Rico.



Your euro ancestry is probably closest to the Eastern PR average, but if you're 60% you're also close to this study's average fro the Metro Area, south coast and north coast. But Mexicans in general have very different admixture than Puerto Ricans. Your level of Native ancestry is much higher than the Puerto Rican average (only statistical outliers have over 25% Native ancestry). Meanwhile, your level of African ancestry is significantly lower than the Puerto Rican average (although probably not too far from the Western PR average).

The PRADI study has more samples and is probably more accurate because its newer, but sadly it doesn't have a chart like above for easy comparison.



I inserted a line at 60%, so you can see where people around that level of Euro admixture are most common.
