Italians were Europeans*, who intermarried after the second generation into the general population. Puerto Ricans have never done so in large numbers on the mainland.

Clemenza, Puerto Ricans themselves are a big mixture of intermarriage. I've known Puerto Ricans who will say they're Puerto Rican, and then later tell you they are "half-this (European) and half-that" with a "little bit of this" and "a little bit of that."

But all that is beside the point. I'm against statehood, too.

Correct. Puerto Ricans are mostly mulatto/biracial.

I'm just saying that PRs DO NOT generally intermarry with gringos. They remain separate, unlike most groups in this country that intermarry within two or three generations.
