Am I wrong? I have a good friend that is Puerto Rican. He agrees.
Maybe I’m wrong. It’s happened before.
He was born on the island though.
Doesn’t it make sense for him to say he’s Puerto Rican ? I’ve never understood the big deal. He’s Puerto Rican but also an American citizen.
I bet people from USVI say they are islanders.

All of the Puerto Ricans that I know claim to be both. It's not different than being a proud Floridan or Georgian and a proud American.
My partner's mother is also a Republican Trump voter and he's a staunch Democrat.

Like he would know. No one is running around asking that question--not mainlanders, not other Puerto Ricans.
People may identify as Puerto Ricans because usually the question is asked in the context of where are you from because I can tell there is something different about you. No one is asking what's your allegiance. Context matters.
Now, ask a little old abuela in Puerto Rico and she may say a few choice words about yankees.
