Puerto Rican (複數 Puerto Ricans)

  1. 波多黎各人
    近義詞:Boricua
    • 1964, John F. Kennedy, “Waves of Immigration-the Post-Revolutionary Forces”, 出自 A Nation of Immigrants[1], Revised and Enlarged版, Harper & Row, →LCCN, →OCLC63:
      Today many of our newcomers are from Mexico and Puerto Rico. We sometimes forget that Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens by birth and therefore cannot be considered immigrants. Nonetheless, they often receive the same discriminatory treatment and opprobrium that were faced by other waves of newcomers. The same things are said today of Puerto Ricans and Mexicans that were once said of Irish, Italians, Germans and Jews: “They’ll never adjust; they can’t learn the language; they won’t be absorbed.”
      如今,我国的许多新公民来自墨西哥和波多黎各。我们有时会忘记,波多黎各人天生就是美国公民,因此不能被视为移民。尽管如此,他们与其他新移民浪潮一样,经常受到歧视性待遇和责难。今天人们对波多黎各人和墨西哥人的评价与曾经对爱尔兰人、意大利人、德国人和犹太人的评价相同:“他们永远不会适应;他们学不会英语;他们无法融入美国社会”。
