They Said It’s Just Classism in Puerto Rico… But Here’s What I Found

Since moving to Puerto Rico, I kept hearing the same thing over and over: ‘We don’t have racism here, it’s just classism.’ But when I started paying attention and digging into the history I realized that’s not the full truth. In this video, I’m sharing what I’ve seen, what I’ve learned, and what the research says about racism, classism, and colorism in Puerto Rico. I even share a personal story about my friend who was made fun of at a hair salon just for wanting to wear her curls natural. This is not about bashing Puerto Rico; it’s about being real, and finally naming what so many people try to ignore. ▶ Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe so we can keep this conversation going. ▶ And if you’re planning a trip to Puerto Rico, I’d love to host you at my Airbnb. https://laperlaverdepr.com Due to some of the comments I decided to do a follow up to this video:    • Racism in Puerto Rico: Its About Access, N...   Research mentioned in this video: -Angela Dixon, Colorism and classism confounded: Perceptions of discrimination in Latin America https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30857... -Study on colorism & social mobility in Puerto Rico ¿https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/1... -#SoyAfroyCuento campaign on Afro-Puerto Rican identity https://www.teenvogue.com/story/racis... -Racial profiling & policing in Puerto Rico — https://www.theguardian.com/world/201... -Proposed CROWN Act in Puerto Rico (ban discrimination against natural hairstyles) — Racially diverse Puerto Rico debates bill that aims https://apnews.com/article/puerto-ric... -Racial Hierarchy and the Afro-Puerto Rican Identity https://bliaspora.com/2021/01/spanish... https://news.medill.northwestern.edu/... https://face2faceafrica.com/article/l...
