Yes. Their language and culture derives from Spain or Portugal, or more generally from the Latin language, so they are "Latinos."

Are puertoricans black?

No, Puerto Ricans are NOT White. This question would be similar to asking, "Are Americans White?" No! Some Puerto Ricans are White, some are Black, and some are considered Hispanic. If you actually visit Puerto Rico, you will see many Black people. Puerto Ricans are NOT only or mostly White and Native American. The Puerto Ricans that were named only PARTIALLY represent Puerto Ricans. That is NOT what all Puerto Ricans look like. This type of mindset is what causes most Americans to believe that all Latinos are the same! There are MANY Black Latinos -- Puerto Ricans included. Some of you would probably pass them in the street and just think they were Black Americans. Even Hispanic and White Latinos are guilty of this.

Why isn't puerto rico a state?

Primarily, public opinion of Puerto Ricans are not in agreement on the issue. At about 50/50, some want to remain independent and some want statehood. Until that is decidedly unanimous, the US Congress will not take action on the issue. There is much controversy over the issue, but being brutally honest, the issue is racism/nationality and some Americans/whites do not want Puerto Ricans/latinos to have an equal say in the government as "ethnic" Americans/whites. The reason it is Americans/whites and Puerto Ricans/latinos is due to the fact that some are opposed based on racism and some are opposed based on national identity.
