Talk:Chinese Puerto Rican

Non-Chinese don't usually call them like "los Puertorriqueños chinos", right? Do they just call them "el chino" and "la china"? --Menchi 19:40 7 Jul 2003 (UTC)

"Large numbers"??? The numbers of Asians that arrived in the island were incredibly small during the 19th century...can you state what historical sources you are basing that comment on?

<<>>>>

Yes, and they also worked on the roads...but the majority of Asians who did come to the island where men not women --do you have any references for the number of women who came to the island during that time?

Again, can you please state the source with specific numbers and time periods? I would truly want to read more into this...

About Chinese Puerto Rican having Hispanic last names, trust me, I lived in Puerto Rico 17 years, my neighbor, whose grandparents were Chinese, his last name is Rosa, I knew a Chinese-Puerto Rican girl that worked at some Wong Chuu or something restaurant, Lii Rodriguez, I dated her. Another girl I dated (but this one, her grandparents were actually from Vietnam), last name was Morales. And there are thousands of Chinese and Oriental-Puerto Ricans who have Latino names, cause someone outthere got married to a Puerto Rican guy along the line...

I have somewhat researched the topic myself and cannot find any large influx of Asians on the island --especially one regarding Asian women. I know that Cuba had a significant influx of Asians during that time period but the same cannot be said of Puerto Rico --the majority of our 19th century immigrants were Spaniards. I would appreciate it you could remember the title of the article or author?
