Is there hidden discriminat..

First off let me say that i'm not racist in any way. second i'm a puerto rican proud to be one and am darker than what most people think puerto ricans look like. let me tell you my story, about 10 years ago when i was a teenager i was dating this puerto rican girl of european ancestry and we were really in love. when it was time to meet her parents, i noticed espiecially with her father that he was looking at me as if I wasn't going to be accepted by her parents but it didn't bother me. 2 days later she told me she couldn't be with me because i was a black puerto rican and her parents wanted a puerto rican of european ancestry to improve the race or whitening of their family. This is racism right here. my family explained to me that it is not all puerto ricans but there are some who prefer white over black because some think being black is ugly and whitening of their skin will improve their chances of sucess. tell me what you have to say about this.

As Harsh as this sounds, there actually is a hidden discrimination towards black puerto ricans. There is actually a hidden discrimination between all latin people based on skin color depending on who your talking to, especially in Florida. I'm not puerto rican, but I have many friends who are and they talk about stuff like that...

Well I have heard of things like this before. I have known American blacks who lie in the sun with bleach cream on them, to get lighter...
