Hey girl i am a 16 year old Guyanese with an extermemy mixed decent but i pass for black/dominican/rican all the time and i speak fluent spanish. I go to school on the edge of harlem and I know what you are talking about... and i know how you feel, but the truth is you WILL meet some ignorant ppl who pay more attention to race and the color of your skin. The thing is YOU shouldn't be that way cuz everyone knows that there are beautiful people of every race. Sometimes i feel the uncertanties that you feel, i would feel comfortable asking for a brotha's number and not double think it. I think that most rican guys don't really care as long as you are attractive to them and you get along well- that's what really matters anyways. I don't think there are that many tensions between blacks and ricans as there are between blacks and whites. i find that i get approached by the darker boriquas than the light skinned ones. I think that THEY themselves have uncertainities on wether or not you would be accepting to THEM. As for me- i just stay who i am- loving the beautiful people of every race, inside and out. Arrite gal keep it real . ~sash
