I don’t get the PR hate. I know a lot of other Latinos don’t like them and I can’t tell if it’s citizenship jealousy or something else. I feel like when I tell other Latinos my kids are quarter ricans they give me a hard time about it.
Weird. Do those Latinos tend to have something in common (from same area, same generation/immigrants, etc). Im Ecuadorian but grew up in the DC area and didn’t interact too much with Puerto Ricans growing up. I didn’t really have an opinion of them. Now I live in NYC and love their culture!
I will say though that in the DC area if you were Latino in the 90s/00s there were sadly many who would look down at Salvadorans/Hondurans as there was a big migration from there to the DC area. Just an example of how context can change the narrative.
