hey GOP you got owned
In South Florida as well, at least in my high school.I'm hesitant to write this because a lot of times when you commit these kinds of thoughts to record people take it as evidence. What I'm about to promote is a stereotype, a generalize observation, but one that befuddles me and affects me personally.
There seems to be an inclination by Puerto Ricans to disparage other immigrants and minorities without recognizing those characteristics in and of themselves. There seems to be some degree of "siding" with white America but at the same time trying to retain a Latin-centric cultural identity.
My first encounter with this sort of attitude(?) was my own mother. She was born in Puerto Rican and moved to the States as a child. She has contempt and disdain for other Latin immigrants. Not seeing any irony whatsoever in that philosophy.
When I began working in manufacturing plants in the late 90s, I worked with a mix of groups but primarily with Dominicans, El Salvadorians and other Central Americans, and Puerto Ricans. It soon became apparent that Puerto Ricans were not, let's say, well regarded by the other groups. Including the Dominicans. The best consensus I could infer is that Puerto Ricans thought they were superior to the other groups, and the other groups didn't appreciate Puerto Ricans seemingly picking and choosing when to adhere to their ethnicity. For example their Spanish-speaking was typically broken or Spanglish, but they would claim sort of ethnic preeminence if that makes sense. Many were born State-side and had not migrated from native regions so it would appear disingenuous and false to the other groups.
Outside of the tri-state area I have not met a single Puerto Rican. So I don't know if this a regional thing. But it's interesting to me nevertheless.
My wife is Latina. There is a lot of inter-Latin prejudice from her family.I'm hesitant to write this because a lot of times when you commit these kinds of thoughts to record people take it as evidence.

I have a buddy who grew up down there. He said many Hispanics, especially light skinned Hispanics forget they are Hispanic and act like that too.In South Florida as well, at least in my high school.
Ever want to make a Puerto Rican or any other Hispanic mad, call them Mexican.My wife is Latina. There is a lot of inter-Latin prejudice from her family.
I'm half Mexican, and the rest is Irish/Czech. I am a very white man. For a lot of people, my being Mexican is basically trivia, like when you know a panda bear isn't really a bear, it's a marsupial. Most of my Mexican family are military and "hump your flag" American. I don't know how much of that comes from the immigrant experience, like "I had to work hard to get here, so you'd better be grateful you're here too," or how much is "I'm an American now and part of the deal is I'm supposed to hate non-Americans." But there's a lot of anti-black and anti-immigrant rhetoric from that side of my family.It's a very fucked up disposition. As a result I rarely identify myself as Puerto Rican specifically because I never know how it'll be perceived. I try to establish my personality first before I divulge my ethnicity. Less of an issue in the South ironically. In the North I got both instant cred and instant hate for being Puerto Rican.
is that wise.when I want to piss her off
It has been so amazing to watch all of the good ole days Republicans and Democrats endlessly demonize her from the minute she started going through their closet.
Speaking on behalf of NE-2’s one electoral vote, the rest of the state can go right the fuck ahead.
How does this work? So tenants don’t pay rent but the person owning the building still has to pay their mortgage?
Hopefully this would be extended to them as well.but the person owning the building still has to pay their mortgage?
No.So tenants don’t pay rent but the person owning the building still has to pay their mortgage?
Are you sure? I thought it max'd out at 180 days and we're well past that into covid at this point.
I’m never sure when it comes to legislation. Without the actual text of the bill itself all I have is the NYT write-up AOC shared in her tweet. And in that, it vaguely provides an answer to @chrisc’s question.Are you sure? I thought it max'd out at 180 days and we're well past that into covid at this point.
Her response to a question indicates currently the person does have to pay their mortgage but believes the federal government needs to step inI’m never sure when it comes to legislation.

Both answers are true. The legislation reportedly includes provisions protecting property owners from foreclosure, and the federal government still needs to do its part.Her response to a question indicates currently the person does have to pay their mortgage but believes the federal government needs to step in
