[edit] Puerto Rican

It is wrong to assume that the term "Puerto Rican" is an "ethnicity". Puerto Rican is a nationality. On October 25, 2006, the Puerto Rican State Department declared the exsistence of the Puerto Rican nationality (see: Juan Mari Bras). What is true is that Ari is Puerto Rican, but not Hispanic. People should start worrying less about "race" and "ethnicity" and just concentrate on "facts".

The article clearly states " Meyers was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico to American parents " It doesn't get anymore clearer than that. It is made clear throughout the article that he is not "Hispanic" for crying out loud. Tony the Marine 16:56, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

It is also wrong to assume that just because you are labeled "Puerto Rican" that you should have an ethnicity attached. It is a misconception to assume that all Puerto Ricans are of Spanish background. The United States is not the only "melting pot" in the world. Puerto Rico is also a melting pot and not all Puerto Ricans are of "Hispanic" descent. There are many Puerto Ricans of African, Corsican, French, Irish, German, Chinese, Dutch and Lebanonse descent among others. Tony the Marine (talk) 20:09, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
