Just 'cause they are part of North America doesn't actually make them America. I don't think. I don't know.

I thought I told you that already. >_> xD
They're 100% American. Puerto Rico is property of the United States.

'Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens by the 1917 Jones Act. The commonwealth has a republican form of government, subject to U.S. jurisdiction and sovereignty. Its current powers are all delegated by the U.S. Congress and lack full protection under the U.S. Constitition.'

Yeah. Sort of.

Technically, I guess. But from the knowledge I have of my Puerto Rican friends, they like to be called Puerto Rican, not American.

This is sort of like the waaaaaaaaaaay old discussion of whether Alaskans were Americans.

NO, ALASKANS ARE RUSSIAN. (Did you know their population decreases by about 20% each year? It's actually really interesting why...But PM me.)
