Talk:Oscar Collazo (boxer)

Nationality troubles
Obviously, Collazo represented Puerto Rico in the amateurs but he is listed as American on BoxRec. What should we do? Describe him as American, Puerto Rican, or both? Quettagon (talk) 02:35, 8 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Great question, After doing some digging and research I would put it as he is an American, Puerto Rican is not a nationality per definition either since it is part of the United States so i would remove that too, so to sum it up puerto rico is part of the United states just like Washington DC "not officially a state" and so on, he was born, raised and resides in the u.s.a, pretty clear cut case as to what to put in my opinion. 24.214.25.143 (talk) 22:29, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Puerto Rican citizenship and nationality indicates the situation is rather ambiguous. In my opinion, Wikipedia should defer to whether the subject considers himself to be American, Puerto Rican, or both, if there is a reliable source containing such content.  –Skywatcher68 (talk) 13:17, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Collazo is very clear of who he reps.Also, only an ignorant would argue that "Puerto Rican is not a nationality" in the political sense, as it was very clearly established as such before the statutory American citizenship was impossed almost two decades after the invasion. "Belongs to, but is not part of" has never changed politically. Spots-wise, its not even in doubt that PR has separate sovereignty. 2604:B000:8107:FA36:442B:DF73:80E3:FE2C (talk) 11:22, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
