well i was recently with an african american and most people don't mind it. i guess its becoming common to see hispanics and blacks. sometimes some african american girls might give me a not-so-nice look because they think that i should stick to my own kind. but its never to the point that i feel uncomfortable.

Please specify why you answered the way you did on the previous question.

well i know that i am very proud of being puertorican and when othe people tell me their only half puerto rican its kind of a let down. i would marry a black person and would have children with them but i think i would prefer a puertorican jus to keep it true to my roots. but for some reason half black half puertoricans i think are still pretty cool it bothers me more when its like half white half puertorican or half some other spanish country. i cant really explain why its jus how it seems.
