TheJones Act of 1917 gave citizenship to Puerto Ricans
In the aforementioned countries and territories, they were all occupied by Spain explored by Spain and one time occupied by Spain. As a result, the main language is Spanish and the majority follow the Catholic religion.
Puerto Rican people were granted American citizenship in 1917 through the Jones-Shafroth Act, which made them U.S. citizens but did not grant them full voting rights. This status allowed them to serve in the U.S. military during World War I, contributing significantly to the war effort. However, despite their citizenship, Puerto Ricans continued to face limitations on their political rights and autonomy, highlighting ongoing issues of colonialism and inequality.

NO... Ruerto Ricans are labeld as Hispanic , Latin non white , Spanish non white, and they would be all worng Puerto Ricans are Caribbean ... Comment by asharp1999: I think race is just stupid and pointless. We are all people.
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.
