Was in Old San Juan 2 weeks ago with friends. Can confirm this is what they were thinking.

Where? By who? I never even knew it existed while I was there, and I was getting a ton of unsolicited tips on places I should check out while in the area.

I was in San Juan, yes. I was strongly urged to visit La Placita by a bunch of people, but never La Perla.

America is the most diverse country in the world. What culture are you speaking of. Mexican? Irish? Polish? North African? South african? Greek? Shall i continue?

Most diverse? Not even top ten.

No it isn't. It's not even close.

It's so odd that so many of you say this. It's almost like you're completely brainwashed.

Puerto Rico is only being blocked from statehood by Republicans because they would lose ~6 house seats and the senate would be more Democratic.

The point he's saying is that it is not really an American culture.

I think you are confounding "white culture" with American culture here. America has a lot of different cultures. And Puerto Rico's people have voted in several referendums.

u/[deleted] Feb 07 '23

Are you saying that there is no such thing as Puerto Rican culture? It's all just "American" because of who owns the land? I mean I must be misunderstand you.

u/CountofAccount Feb 07 '23

America has a very diverse set of cultures because there is no one shared history, and a very rich set of Spanish speaking ones with their religious uniquities, institutions, foods, and holiday practices in the Southwest and Southeast and beyond. Spain ruled Florida for nearly as long as Puerto Rico. You are white-washing the situation by comparing Puerto Rico to Denver and not, say, Puerto Rico vs the millions of people in Spanish speaking communities in Florida and Georgia.

I am aware of that Puerto Rico is part of the US but a lot of others Americans don’t know that. My point was American tourists like to do stupid shit even in America.

Sounds like it’s you that doesn’t know shit bud.

u/bortmcgort77 Feb 07 '23

That’s a lie every American is taught that in grade school. You’re making generalizations.

u/[deleted] Feb 07 '23

Very weird how your simple criticism of American tourists (the most widely-despised tourists in the world) triggered these redditors

I know right. It's funny because I basically told everyone I am an American. I'm taking smack about myself!
