If you have EVER been to Puerto Rico, then you can correctly and noticeably argue that these BARELY have any African or European Decent. Many of these people have Native indigenous features. Now, that is not to say that there are not people around the Caribbean whom obviously have African or European ancestry. However, the argument here is that Taino/ Arawak tribe are still alive and going strong. and they should be able to be recognized as such.
