"Porto Rico ain't no 'merica!" I still remember hearing this the same day I got back from my first trip to Puerto Rico. We went to Target in Shreveport, LA, to buy some exercise equipment. Back in the bowels of the Target, we overheard a father and son talking about Puerto Rico...
Son: "Puerto Ricans are Americans."
Father: "I've been to Porto Rico. Porto Rico ain't no 'merica!"
We giggled to ourselves and wondered if he'd actually ever been to "Porto Rico." It's amazing that people don't know that Puerto Rico is part of the United States. (Of course, I've heard stories of physicians from New Mexico being asked for their visa status when applying for fellowship programs!) I'm not sure if they'll want to become a state, though.
