But... PR is part of the US and is a wonderful place full of kind people.

Yes, and ones who don't vote for these losers. That's what's got them butthurt. And the fact that they're a majority Hispanic place where everyone born there is automatically a U.S. citizen. I'm sure that also makes them seethe.

    The main reason PR isn't a state is because Republicans are scared of how brown people would vote... and to a much greater extent, brown people in general.

    Puerto Ricans don't vote for anybody. They don't have representation in Congress, and they have zero electoral votes because they aren't a state.

    So, no, they're just butthurt because of racism, and Puerto Rico can't do anything about it because they don't have any representation.
