Afro-Puerto Ricans
The addition to the article, which states that most Puerto Ricans are of mixed race, has been removed because it is considered POV and Wikipedia policy does not permit it as such. According to the 2010 census 75.8% of the population in Puerto Rico consider themselves "white" while 24.2 consider themselves "black". The history books of Puerto Rico were rewritten by Dr. Paul Gerard Miller, the United States appointed Commissioner of Education, after the United States invaded Puerto Rico. It was Miller who came up with the concept that Puerto Ricans were of a mixed race, which at the time was considered inferior in the United States, thereby justifying the invasion and control of Puerto Rico's government. He failed to mention, on purpose, in his version of the history books, that hundreds of families immigrated to Puerto Rico in the 1850s from non-European countries, such as Ireland, Corsica, France, Italy and Germany because of the Industrial Revolution and the Potato Famine. Wikipedia is not about what we like or do not like, it is an encyclopedia which relies on facts sustained by reliable verifiable sources. Tony the Marine (talk) 22:55, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
