The study conducted by the National Science Foundation compared the DNA of the unearthed skeletons to modern day Puerto Ricans. Samples from a scientific cross-section of 800 people throughout the island was taken.
The results of the analysis of approximately 300 of these samples identify 62% as Amerindian (native Indian), 30% as African blacks and 8% Caucasian.

From Wikipedia..
In the 2000 U.S. Census Puerto Ricans were asked to identify which racial category with which they personally identify. 95.8% answered with only one choice. The breakdown is as follows: 80.5% described themselves as "white"; 8% described themselves as "Black"; and only 0.4% described themselves as "Native American
I think they identify as white because in many Latin American countries, for whatever reasons, that brings "higher" status. Come on now, any person of color would know how that goes down. Or maybe some just don't know that they are mixed?

Interesting.....
are those percentages within each average person (as in percentage of blood) or are they each individuals, in which case the "dominant" blood is taken to represent the whole?

It's because alot of white Latinos in America go into Me.Cha. and stuff and start thinking they are not white and sperate themselves
Which is still incomplete because they count other white immigrants as just white, but right now it's Hispanics being most of the immigrants.

A couple of DUMB comments right there.
Anyway. 90%+ of Latinos in America are not even involved in MeCha. That's your ignorance talking. How would you know if they are white or not? Have you done DNA tests on each and every one? I have rarely seen any Latinos who I would consider pure white. If you're mixed then you're mixed and shouldn't deny it.

I mean that in America most Hispanics would rather not identify themselves as white, some get pissed off if you think they are white, and many peple in MeCha happen to be good examples of that
look at this

That's Crenshaw High's MeChA club
they get so pissed if you call them anything else but chicano, scroll to teh bottom there's a whole list of terms they don't like becuase they are "white"
But in Mexico and many other places, it's sorta the opposite, they want to be "white Mexicans"
