When I was in Puerto Rico during winter break, this man who was on our cruise ship started harrassing one of the women who worked in one of the stores in San Juan. He started questioning on her on why the Puerto Ricans don't want to become part of the United States. The woman explained that it was so the Puerto Ricans could maintain their own culture and their own values. The guy just didn't get it. He kept saying stuff like, "I don't get why you wouldn't want to be an American?" and "I think it sounds better say 'I'm an American' than 'I'm a Puerto Rican'". I didn't even know the guy and I was still embarrassed that a fellow American would harrass this poor woman and tell her that basically America is better than her country.
