@8BRAAAINS///you know what is pathetic? that idiots like you who have NO empirical, well-researched or archival documented history of Puerto Rico, but are on YT talking your typical racisted diversity clap-trap and what is EVEN more sad is that anyone in Puerto Rico has to PROVE their racial background while idiots like you in the States get a free pass and have to prove nothing to no one. But then again your stupidity is so glaringly obvious why whould anyone ask you to prove it further. Loser!

Taínos in New York? What a joke. None of the people on that panel look like native Indians, especially the Jorge Estevez guy who clearly has African ancestry. Let's face it, he's black. Apparently it must be fashionable for Puerto Ricans to deny their European and/or African heritage and claim to belong to a people that no longer exist and have not existed as a living culture in over 200 years.

@Lyric1235 Mestizos in puerto rico don't exist, your country is full of whites. look at puerto ricos wikipedia page. 75% of puerto rico is mostly of spanish decent.

[Lyric1235]

anybody who denies the tainos survived is full of shit...meztisos in puerto rico are clearly the majority

Youtube search "Mayan to Saponi 1/9 " It is a 9 part series that will help support the Tainos into america.

@TehDudeluv42

I know I am. My ancestors did not discriminate in recent years when it came to keeping the cultuire alive. Its not an issue. We are all related!

@dnr71345

In addition, DNA is a great tool for those who want federal recognition but I personally don't need the feds to tell me who I am.

@TehDudeluv42

I have no desire to be tested at this time due to the fact that I was privileged to learn about my great-great grandparents who were indigenous traditional people.I had met my great-grandparents when I was a teenager and hold tons of stories about our indigenous ways. I was blessed to know this and I am the one in my family that is carrying the traditions in an open way to educate others. DNA will only confirm what I know so I rather spend my money on other things.

[dnr71345]

I was one of the Taino that were interviewed. I am honored and blessed to have learn from my family (prior to DNA technology) that I am indigenous. Granted, many thought it was not a good idea to come public with it but now I see why. The comments by many are truly prejudice in nature. I am who I am and i cannot change it. Sorry folks for those that differ. Old taino Adage: "The trees in the forest may look different but the roots all look the same." Long live the Taino!
