There are many types of people that live in Puerto Rico. Whites, Hispanics, blacks and some Asians. The sugar plantations used to have Asian immigrants come and work in the fields. The natives, known as Taino indians, have been long gone due to illness from the Spanish Conquistadors and the treatement by the Spanish (slavery, genocide.) Some Taino men were taken from their families and sent to work as slaves in Spain. The island is mostly populated by people of Spanish heritage and some with African heritage because of the slave population that there used to be. San Juan was used as a port for African slaves on their way to the US. It is a beautiful island.
Some are Doctors or Lawyers and some flip burgers.

Not necesarily. She is Puerto Rican American. Puerto Rico is in Latin American & caribbean. Puerto Ricans decend from many races that long ago came together and mixed with eachtogether there's sort of hundreds of years of mixing of races maybe more ,she is Latina. The most common ancestory that latinos share in common are the spaniard side(spain). Lets just say Latinos are the cousins of almost every race. So yes and no. It's complicated. Latinos speak either Spanish or Portuguese And the Spanish spoken in each place in LAtin American & Carribean is spoken differently and not the same as in Spain.
