∙ 12y agoMany are of White Race. It usually goes half and half with the dominant being of mixed-Black descent. Puerto Rico's ethnic background is Hispanic (Standard U.S. terminology since the 1970's) or Latin American. Once thought an extinct people, there is actually a very narrow line of Taino/Arawak Native American heredity in today's Puerto Rican population. Genetically, this is usually found in the maternal lineage. The majority are predominantly Black/White mixed.
