My heart is half Puerto Rican, half Canadian. That is how I feel.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm half Puerto Rican.
It is quite understandable that Puerto Ricans seek to preserve a cultural sense of identity without separating politically from U.S. national sovereignty.
Yeah, I was born in Montreal and I go back to Vancouver and Toronto a lot, so I have a sense of being Canadian, and I was raised by two Canadians, and my wife is Canadian, so yeah, I feel it.
You know, you may not be born in Puerto Rico, but Puerto Rican is definitely born in you.
Every time I'm in Canada I feel more Swedish, and every time I'm in Sweden I feel more Canadian. I belong in both places and I love them both equally. It's funny because the Swedes claim me as their Swedish pride and the Canadians call me their Canadian girl. I'll take it all.
I'm a little bit of everything. Sometimes people think I'm not Puerto Rican, because my name doesn't sound Spanish.
There were a lot of kids from Puerto Rico at my high school in Florida; people always assumed I was Puerto Rican. Even now in California, I get talked to on the street in Spanish constantly!
You're not from Puerto Rico, so you should say Puerto Rico like all the other people from the place that you come from.
I'm like half Brazilian and half American now.
I'm half Puerto Rican and half Jewish and so, in some ways, living in many worlds at once is where I feel most at home.
