how many African Americans are in puetorico
Answer: 1st of all , forget the political correct terminology .
Puerto Rico was originally settled by the people called Tainos , they are from the greater tribe known as the Caribes and the greater tribes called the Ottawa (excuse my spelling) , they are dark skinned people as you might compare people from South America but not Black African .
Spain colonized PR for about 400 years and mixed with the Tainos , then some African Slaves settled and then in the 20th century Americans settled .
So to answer your question - Some areas you may find very dark Puerto Ricans of African decent but My guess its about 10% .
The Island of Hispannola (Hati & Dominican Republic) have much more in the order of African decent .
*********************************************************************
Wake up and smell the coffee. There are no white, black or Indian Puertoricans. Even the lighter skinned Puertoricans have some black roots in them. The same goes for the Dominican Republic, Haiti and all the other small islands in the Caribbean. That is why a Puertorican is a Puertorican, you can't classify us as any other race or color, I myself would be considered an octaroon in a city like New Orleans and I'm proud of it. I don't mean any offense, but your post is clearly lacking in research and it's clear you either are not Puertorican, don't live on the island, or never been there at all.

Aparently you misundestood either the question or my answer (and I Have been in PR 5 times and Im in Moca right now for 3 Kings Day).
I felt that the question was flawed as (as you stated) there are no single races in PR .
And as I said there is a big mix that has come about over the past 400 years .
There are white , black , Carib mixed races all over the Island .
They are ALL American and not African , they are puerto Ricans .
Is that better ?
What else can I help you with?
Where did alcapurrias come from?
Alcapurrias come from Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico has a mix of Taino indigenous, African, and Spanish influences. Alcapurrias were created in Puerto Rico due to the mix of all three cultures. Some of the vegetation used in alcapurria was introduced to the spanish colonist by the Taino Indians (origanal inhabitants of Puerto Rico); such as yuca/casava. Most alcapurrias are made out of green banana, which comes from Africa. The beef used in alcapurria comes from Spain. Cows are not native to Puerto Rico. The method of deep frying mainly comes from Europe (Spain is in Europe). So all of these influences in Puerto Rico are what helped create the alcapurria. Which are so yummy!
