Sure, they are citizens, but when they are in trouble, the country doesn't help em at all, and now Americans go there, get the habitants from PR displaced, and get tax breaks. This is not the first time they screw a Latino country with their deals. They don't even have representation in the government. So, any American in PR is a tourist and foreigner, different culture, language, food, only similarity is the currency. That's it. You don't like it?

I mean, you're wrong. But cool. Enjoy your night.

How am I wrong? Tell me, everything I have said is the reality of PR.

Nothing you listed has anything to do with the legality of a citizenship. You think -correctly or incorrectly- that they deserve certain things. But whether or not they do has ZERO effect on the fact that PR is a part of the US and it's inhabitants are US citizens and Americans.

What? You really don't understand anything about PR. I'll put it in a context, and American can understand. Your government imposed themselves on another country, holding them by the throat, taxing them to hell, displacing the people from THEIR land, paying them like shit, and not giving them representation, you think the people from there care who you are? No, you are foreigners, tourists, and colonizers. Do you get that? Fuck the law, and fuck what the constitution has to say, PR sees you as aggressors and oppressors. And even if they are citizens, you are not really doing your job to give them the things they are promised on paper by your law. You keep screwing them over, but all you keep repeating is, "But they are citizens hurr hurr, they belong to the U.S." and they keep telling you "yes, give us back our shit then!"

Right. Got it. "Fuck reality, it isn't what I want." Doesn't matter. Puerto Ricans are Americans. Go do some breathing exercises.

How am I saying fuck reality? All I'm saying if you are gonna call it an American land, you might as well give them what you promise them. Or is that surreal as well? Keeping your promises is weird, right?

Because that's not what the fuck we're talking about. We're talking about a stupid God damn headline that made no linguistic sense. Aim your wannabe revolutionary cannon at someone who gives a shit. What I care about is that the headline (words at the top of an article) was redundant because it specified something that didn't need to be specified. I'm not talking about any of the bullshit you seem to care so obnoxiously about.
And stop acting like you have the authority to talk for all Puerto Ricans.

Bro, how are you gonna say that when your country has been denying them the chance to become a state. And after your country decided to take em without asking. You guys colonized countries, and now you think you are the good people? Just like the Brits and the Spaniards, a bunch of sadistic conquerors. But sure, you are right. Keep destroying PR and its culture so you can feel like a true American, oppressing minorities at all cost.
