I’ve found Cubans less so, by comparison.

Cubans are more calm than Puerto Ricans in my experience as well.

Right. But people use racism incorrectly way too much.
You can't be racist against Puerto ricans or Mexicans.

PR and while the land/beaches were great, it was mostly a trash heap filled with homeless people who will constantly accost you. The only things worth seeing that are man-made were built by Spaniards hundreds of years ago.
you're statement is not necessarily wrong, but would apply equally to many cities in US. I lived on the Roosevelt Roads NAS for 4 years growing up. Went all around PR. There was plenty of poverty even back then, and the island was much safer than it is now. Still, it's a great place if you know where to go.

Isn't PR a USA territory? So by definition, wearing a PR shirt cannot be un-American.

Absolutely.
Also, Puerto Ricans are Americans, U.S. citizens. It’s as if the guy was getting in her face because she had a T-shirt that said “Georgia.” There is nothing remotely provocative about wearing a Puerto Rico T-shirt.

Puerto Rico is both a ward of the state, and very independent. The residents want to be free, but they also rely on American economic support.
Are they Americans? Culturally, not really.
If I was dictator for a day, I would give them their independence. It’s the only way they’ll develop a sustainable economy, and functional institutions.

That’s true of many of the old Spanish colonies. The Spaniards weren’t interested in building sustainable institutions, and infrastructure. When they left, it all fell apart.
The English were better about that.
