Because the majority of Puerto Ricans are Spanish descended! Most Puerto Ricans are tri-racial (Spanish/European, Indigenous [Taino] & African), Mestizos (Spanish and Indigenous) and Mulattos (Spanish and African)...The "light" skin might come from the Spanish/European side of the Puerto Rican bloodline.
