"Speaking of race, what are Puerto Ricans again?"


  

          

I always thought there were white PRs and black PRs. But then someone reminded me that if you try to tell a PRs that they are black they will tell you GFOHWTBS.

I guessing there wouldn't be that sort of blow black telling a "white Puerto Rican" that they are white.

Anyway, what did the racial police end up ruling on them?
