In the last census, 80% of Puerto Rican respondents listed themselves as white.

There is friction between white (descended from pure-blooded Spaniards) Hispanics and non-white Hispanics. This is first I've heard of it being manifested this way in the 21st century and in Puerto Rico.

Sounds like Puerto Rico did what Mexico is in the process of doing.

Oh boy, what to do now? The Bureau of Multi-Cultural and Diversity Affairs is going to have to expand the number of categories to include "White Hispanics", "Black Hispanics", and "Hispanic Hispanics" at the very minimum.

But who makes the judgement if a white hispanics calls himself black in order to gain the extra benfits black hispanics get over just run-of-the-mill blacks and run-of-the-mill hispanics? What percentage black do you have to be to be considered a black hispanic?

This is getting complicated.

The reason that 80% of Puerto Ricans responded to being white is not because they have prejudice believes it's only because they didn't like the options available to respond in the census why don't we address a REAL problem, that of the RACIST Dominicans who treat the Haitians like crap. Dominicans always complain about they're African racial make up. All Dominicans are black or are at least half black yet they go on saying that they are Taino indians and that the real black people in the the Dominican Republic are Haitians. Dominican women spend hours straightning their hair and making their skin lighter. I'm tired of Dominicans and I personally think that every single one of them should get deported from Puerto Rico.......Why you may ask? Because they steal jobs from us Puerto Ricans......Why? Because they steal space from us Puerto Ricans......Why? Because they're lazy and love to abuse the American system by collecting welfare. If you don't believe me then take a trip to Puerto Rico. I saw tons of Mexican restaurant when the Mexican community in Puerto Rico is virtually non-existant, and I didn't see one Dominican restaurant. Everthing that comes in contact with Dominicans turns to crap. Puerto Ricans were in New York City for years.....Now they've invaded New York City and are pushing the pioneering Puerto Rican community out with their lazy welfarers, prostitutes, and drug dealers.
Open your eyes Puerto Rican and any Non-Puerto Rican living in Puerto Rico. Do you really want these Dominicans to keep invading Puerto Rico? I mean they're saying 10,000 Dominicans enter Puerto Rico each year. What's it gonna' come to? There's no doubt and that they're are invading our beautiful island of Puerto Rico and it needs to stop.
Don't label me as a racist, I'm not, I just dislike Dominicans who destroy my nation, steal jobs, and are ungrateful that we Puerto Ricans helped 'cause when they get to NYC they talk all this crap about Puerto Ricans and Puerto Rico. I'm compare these lazy Dominicans many of whom have been in Puerto Rico for years and have yet to do something with their lifes. I mean look at the Cuban community they came to Puerto Rico and they flourished and all the Cubans that arrive in Puerto Rico flourish. You don't see Cubans stealing our humble jobs because they work so-hard that they own the big companies like Doral Financial which is Cuban-Owned, like WAPA-Radio which is Cuban-Owned, and many others. I don't care if you're not Cuban all of the other people that come to Puerto Rico the Mexicans, the Mainland Americans, the Venezuelans, the Arabas, The Indians (From India), The Colombians, The Haitians, have all done something with their lifes. I'd say the only solution to this problem is militarizing the West Coast in Puerto Rico.
