My husband is Puerto Rican and we have a new son. I am Black American. I have always been attracted to Boriquas, I grew up around them (Brooklyn)and have much respect for them and they for me. In NYC, it is so culturally diverse and our cultures are so close, it doesn't even seem we are in an interracial relationship, indeed some people feel that minority on minority dating is no big deal and it isn't. However, I visited a forum MiGente, and couldn't believe the venom some Puerto Ricans were spewing against blacks and other latinos which was quite shocking in the least because I have never encountered that sentiment. If you are attracted to each other it shouldn't matter what race you are, you are going to encounter some problems culturally but it can be worked out. My Boriqua treats me like a queen and I am so glad I decided to experiment and date outside of my race.
