[edit] Comment on Haitian Immigration to Puerto Rico

Has someone considered to add an article on Haitian migration to Puerto Rico, which has been documented to have been very large towards the end of the Eighteenth Century and Beginning of the Nineteenth Century?

Please tell me what you think, thanks!

I thought id be good to change the title name to classify it clearly as a short title as all the puerto rican and the other descendents in the USA and the rest of the american continent....it works....as a European American for example..sept 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.159.25.78 (talk)

[edit] Title of article

Thought French Puerto Rican works well....everyone knows that most are descended from other peoples soo....

• I will not change the title to "French Puerto Rican" because that does not make any sense at all. Puerto Ricans do not reffer to themselves in ethnic terms, they referrer to themselves as Puerto Ricans plain and simple. Ethnic terms is something that is used mainly in the United States. The article clearly is about the "French immigration to Puerto Rico" it's causes and consequences. By the way, the info box looks fine. Tony the Marine 05:14, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi again...I do understand what you mean as in the US they use these term alot more than in other countries..and know at the end of the day all Latin countries still refer to themselves as their nationality foremost like americans etc...but i guess maybe it needs a proud German or Corsican or french descended Puerto rican to distinguish themselves to get a real idea...and i know what alot of puerto ricans if interested try to trace back thier ancestry to spain and corisca etc....even though it isnt a term that is used in the island.....it may make sense in the english language....what about the term Afro-Latino....?.....thats to distiguish themselves aprt from the rest of the other ethnic groups in the island and other latin countires......Ok..im glad the box is ok...maybe ill try and do others ..since i try and do my best with them.....ok..bye September 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.159.25.78 (talk)
