Puerto Rico under the microscope

Well I see no problem with your post seeing as American is going "Spanish".

American is only America because of the idea of us being one.

People who want to retain their ethnic identity over the "one" will tear this country apart.

My great-grandparents spoke Norwegian, my grandparents spoke both, my parents can say the supper prayer in Norwegian. Me? I'm an American and speak English. For a joke every now and again I call myself Norwegian-American but for the most part its just "American".

When PRs step up and place America 1st then I'll think of statehood.
