The master is probably stale, last having edited in July 2019. But:

The master was, for quite some time in 2018, involved in edit-warring POV content at White Puerto Ricans, like here and here and here and here, pushing a specific agenda about whether Puerto Ricans were considered white, or something.
 * The repeatedly-added content was:
 * due to a rubric of laws like the Regla del Sacar or Gracias al Sacar dating back to the 1700's where a person of mixed ancestry could be considered legally white so long as they could prove that at least one person per generation in the last four generations had also been legally white. Therefore, people of mixed ancestry with known white lineage were classified as white, the opposite of the "one-drop rule" in the United States.


 * I blocked them for edit-warring, then after a brief back and forth, unblocked them since it seemed they understood that this was a community editing project. Fast-forward to recent days, Okthenbye appears and scrubs away tons of sourced content here at the same article, and inserting:
 * Very few self-identified white Puerto Ricans are of unmixed European ancestry. In the late 1700s, Puerto Rico had laws like the Regla del Sacar, where a mixed person could be considered legally white so long as they could prove that at least one person per generation in the last four generations had also been legally white. Therefore, mixed people with known white lineage were classified as white, the opposite of the "one-drop rule" in the United States. Puerto Ricans, on average, have genetic contributions from Europeans, West Africans, and Native Americans of approximately 56%, 28%, and 16%, respectively. Although the vast majority of Puerto Ricans are mixed-race, few actually identify as multiracial ("two or more races"). They more often self-identify with their predominant heritage or phenotype.


 * User Blehbla has a similar area of interest i.e. Puerto Rican and Latin African content.
 * Blehbla was doing a good deal of blanking of sourced content, like here where they eviscerate tons of sourced content and here at White Latin Americans, where they scrub tons of content including US Census data.
 * User Okthenbye also blanks a ton of content at White Latin Americans here, again including US Census data after all of Blehbla's changes were reverted.
 * And here, Blehbla inserts:
 * In the late 1700s, Puerto Rico had laws like the Regla del Sacar, where a mixed person could be considered legally white so long as they could prove that at least one person per generation in the last four generations had also been legally white. Therefore, mixed people with known white lineage were classified as white, the opposite of the "one-drop rule" in the United States.

Since Shiznaw never opened a discussion at White Puerto Ricans, I suspect this is the abuse of multiple accounts to continue bad-faith POV editing, which would be a violation of our sockpuppetry policy. I'm not 100% sure these are all linked but it smells something fierce given how slash-and-burn some of these accounts are behaving that I'd like to see if there are any other potential accounts open forcing similar agendas elsewhere.

 * Closing per the above. should this be moved or do you think this is fine 'as is'?  The SandDoctor  Talk 07:37, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
 * , my opinion is that it's fine as is, there are some behavioral similarities to Shiznaw even though it's too stale for CU. ST47 (talk) 08:09, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
