Is there hidden disciminati..

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 a story, about 10 years ago whan i was a teenager I was dating this puerto rican of european ancestry and we were really in love. When it was time to meet her parents, I noticed especially 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.

My poor deceased girlfriend Allyssa was a light -skinned

PR and black people absolutely would not accept her as a PR."PR? You just keep tellin' yourself that" they would say.Black strangers would walk up and ask "What are you?" What a crock.Unfortunately for people of color the American blacks have set the bar pretty low. Racism is racism no matter who is spewing it.
