Not a White Thing

For a long time I have heard, " Your the whitest Puerto Rican I have ever met". To be honest it makes me laugh. How do you act a color or, doing things that represent a color ? Yes you can represent a nationality , a culture, or an ethnic group but, within all of these the colors are different. So if we all acted a color then the census would have to have a lot more pages then it does to cover the entire color spectrum and, include shades to determine the severity of the color group you belong to . Where would you put all the orange  sunless tanning people?

Staying on topic. Yesterday a, gordito bean of a man from my own ethnic background , said I was a white Puerto Rican . It wasn't because I have a lighter pigment to my skin then he does but , because I like heavy metal and I have tattoos, and I don't speak Spanish. I don't expect people to enjoy what I listen to but, at least understand and not be ignorant to the fact that heavy metal music is not specific to ethnicity, gender, or color.  So I did some searching and i think the next to videos should clear things up .
