Well, anonymous, next time show your face so I don't think that you want to judge the shape of women!After centuries of genetic cornucopia due to mixed-race pairing, there's no specific shape of a puertorrican woman. Like any other women in the rest of the world, they are precious .Just don't fuck with them. Lorena Bobbitt is an undergraduate in San Juan.

Are Puerto Ricans open-minded to gay staff?

In what sense? Every day I see more and more openly gay people working in restaurants and stores. I also work for the government and have access to many government offices and I see more people that I know or suspect are homosexuals. So if your question is: can a gay person get a job, even a good job? Then the answer is yes. On the other hand I don't think that most of them are fully accepted with people talking behind their backs, gossiping and just a generalized use of expletives.

How are Puerto Rican's treated in Spain? Are they looked down upon?

I wouldn't say so. Most Spaniards tend to very open-minded. Spain was one of the first countries to recognize same-sex marriage and there is freedom of religion.Being that said, it is worth to mention that not only tourism plays an important role in our economy, but also there are lots of immigrants coming from all the continents.Immigrants are more than welcome here. Even regional and central governments offer economic support to those in need.Many of them assimilate into the culture perfectly. Other immigrants do not fully assimilate into the culture - but I believe that is up to them (for instance, I know people who have lived here for over 10 years and do not speak the language or even try to) .Unfortunately, there are also some close-minded people, but the number is rather low.

How much do so called "white Puerto Ricans" resemble Spaniards?

Puerto Rico was a Spanish overseas territories, Provincia Ultra Mar until 1898. Puerto Rico also had political representation in Madrid. And due to its strategic position and importance, had extensive Spanish immigration. They were the elite, military and upper classes. Puerto Rico was the Rich Port that housed the gold and silver from the new world. The native Taino population had retreated to the interior , and intermixed with the Europeans settlers, such as Canary islanders, Andalusians, Basques, Castilians and Corsicans, to become the Jibaros , the mestizo country folk. The African population was mostly in certain coastal areas such as Loiza. Being that Puerto Rico was a small island and remote, there was a lot of race mixing of every possible combination of mostly these three races. And there are other lesser known groups also who contributed to this such as Chinese, Filipinos, Irish, Germans and Middle Easterners. We Puerto Ricans are essentially a Tri-Racial community. We basically all may have 3 races in our DNA. Of course to varying degrees. I'm of Canary Island, Castilian , Taino/Caribe native and African descent.This is quite common in Puerto Ricans.

What are some examples of Puerto Rican traditional clothing?

In general, you can say Puerto Ricans are always proud of what we wear. Brand, expensive and updated fashion clothes are the criterias.Now, of course, that answer you read is real but not what you are looking for, reason why I am going to explain some clothes rural Puerto Ricans used for decades and now are part of the traditions.Guayabera- the button shirt by excelence used by men. As you can see, what makes it different is that it contains four pockets, and two sewn pleats at the front and back of it. It was first used in Cuba, and then on all the Caribbean, being Puerto Rico the place where it got very, very important for people, since it was practical, easy to create, and “elegant”.Pava- AHHHH… the traditional “pava”, hat made of “petate leaves” that for very long years until today it became a symbol of peace, food and liberty… no, that’s actually the slogan of the Popular Democratic Party, the Pava Party… anyways…The pava was used by sugar cane agricultors to be longer times in their farm without getting burned in the neck and in a portable shadow for your eyes. It is comfortable even thought it is big and also very light.White pants- nothing to show here, since it explains by itself: straight, white pants, made of light cotton to prevent excessive sweating. Very cheap to design, easy to clean and most important, characteristic.Moccasins- I am still looking for someone who tells me how this can be comfortable. These shoes were made of leather or “tela del pana”, with simple sews and laces. They do not need socks, since at this time socks were basically a luxury cloth because poverty was very high.For men this was the standard. In modern times a “plena hat” is used instead of the “pava” but it is not really part of the traditional clothes. For women, since Puerto Rican society was very man-favoring, had to use a one pice cloth, like the one belowNot much that I can explain: crochette design in the neck, a flower or a ribbon on their head, cotton fabrics around their waist and simple pendants on their ears. The reason why I do not detail their clothes is because it can vary. Some were blue and green with no crochette designs, others white and red like the one above, it depends on what the mother could do.Basically these are the typical and main clothes in Puerto Rico.
