text: a question for all the puerto ricans out there !? why do you consider yourselves as "god-chosen people"? why is it a blessing to be a "boricua"? thank you. you make it sound like it's a bad thing. is about pride and is not unique to 'boricuas'; look at texans. one of the things that helps fuel that sentiment is all those athletes, actors, actresses, etc that make our small little island known all over the world. we are proud, and we stick together.
