[@Sparte1172]

The guy in the Fact 38 is actually Luis Muñoz Rivera, not Luis Muñoz Marin.

[@alyrios]

That was his father, but yeah, big mistake there

[@tonyfeliciano2717]

That's right

Haha I live on luis muñoz Rivera road In fajardo

The facts stated were indeed about Luis Munoz Marin. The mistake was that the picture is of Luis Munoz Rivera, which is his father.

[@fortimusprime]

As a Puerto Rican, I loved this video!🇵🇷 I learned a lot myself about my beautiful island (the Government is another story). But I can confirm: We a strange hybrid of the old world and the new world. But the people are great. Totally worth visiting this island for a vacation!

[@Emy53]

I was born in Brooklyn. I visited the island twice in my life; 1976 & 2017, first was honeymoon, 2nd visit for family reunion. I visited Tenerife, Canary Islands and then the mainland Spain, Andalusia area in 2019, for another family reunion. My lineage combines both cultures and I embrace them. Hands down, the Puerto Rican food, for me, is better than the cuisine in Spain. I love my lineage and embrace both.

[@samspurlock4730]

[@silverfuryranger]

As a Puerto Rican, #70 is not a general rule, there are a ton of exceptions, I recommend not doing it tbh unless is with really close people. Good video 💪

[@Emy53]

Never heard of #70. We naturally kiss our families when they enter the room or leave. We don't randomly just lean in a kiss a stranger...but I have seen females do it more than males. I have kissed a family friend but not random people in the street.

Hello Puerto Rican (also American since it’s American territory) from the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@joser1853]

What's so insane about Puerto Rico, is its unknown music culture. I'm a backpacker that has traveled 40+ countries in the past couple of years. Everywhere I go you can listen to Puerto Rican music, and yet in places like Eastern Europe and Asia they have no idea that Puerto Rico even exists. It's the opposite for example to Cuba.

[@dannyandino6002]

As a Cuban here us Cubans feel that Puerto Rican’s and Cubans feel like we are practically the same exact thing culturally geographically and historically even our flags are the same exact thing 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Lol the only difference is that Cuba is an communist independent country while you guys are still under American rule

[@momcilojabucilo9320]

You are right about Easter Europe not knowing about Puerto Rico practically anything but Cuba is famous and very respected by us ashtray stood up against the tyrant,America

[@JC-yf1tc]

Cuba es conocida en el mundo por la figura de fidel castro eso es todo

[@jellycat2566]

Just something I wanted to address about number 70 the kiss on the cheek tradition, we don’t really kiss on the cheek in the middle of a conversation we do it as a greeting and as a goodbye, for example when we go to a families house for Christmas for example we go to all of our family members and kiss there cheek with a hug usually and we do the same when we’re going to say goodbye

Fun fact: Ricky Martin was in a Puerto Rican boy band called Menudo as a teen. He's been an entertainer for a loooong time.

[@IAmSweetPea]

Growing up in Miami, I saw a few iterations of Menudo. Always a good concert

[@rickoftherick4610]

Makes sense since he was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico......

They also had their own business jet Menudo.

[@BassMatriX]

0:46 sure is a damn mouthful for "colony".

[@jimgreen5788]

101Facts, free pronunciation coaching here = Dominican (Republic) is doe-MIN-ee-cun, rather than doe-min-EE-cun, the Taino Indians are tah-EE-no, since there's an accent on the 'i'; Fortaleza is four-tah-LAY-zah, rather than four-tah-ZAY-lah, but you're right in that it means 'fortress'. Also, Ponce is POHN-say, rather than 'pants' with a British accent. Another, more sensible, way of saying Puerto Rico is 3 times smaller is that it's 1/3 the size. All of this information is absolutely free! : ))

In Puerto Rico segment. You didn’t mention some of the more unknown places. In pr. Like subtropical dry forsst. and aurora island(also known as guilligan island). Most favorite by the locals on weekends. also known as the door of the Puerto Rican culture. The guanica bay first conceder as the first choice for the capital of the island. as today the harbor is consider the most protected har nor in the world. and believe to be the Spanish entrance into the island. also the American invasion took place.and the natives Indian migrants from the Amazon through the same harbor.

You guys missed some facts when talking about Celebrities from Puerto Rico. Luis and Luz Miranda are from Puerto Rico whose son is Lin-Manuel Miranda who is the writer of "In the Heights" and "Hamilton." Lin-Manuel also stared in a movie that was 90% shot on the island called "200 Cartas or the Search for Maria Sanchez." There is also a museum dedicated to Lin-Manuel in his parents home town "El Galleria de Lin-Manuel Miranda" which houses not only things from Lin's projects, but fan art as well. Though I do release you may be giving Lin his own 101 Facts video and that'd be cool if you were.😊

US - Puerto Rico relations were established after 1890, 4 years after the US Civil War which gave rise to preparing The Legalese based on the popular opinion of Anglo politicians of Puertoricans. As Supreme Court Justices cited Puertoricans as uncivilized, Alien Race, incapable of understanding the rights & privileges afforded to the People by the Constitution. The fear that if Puertoricans were given citizenship that the constitution would make them equal to the Governing Anglo Society. So they developed the Unincorporated Territory, US citizenship without Constitutional Rights and Regulations that benefits US companies exclusively. (Ley de Cabotage, US Banks buying lands for Sugar plantation & severely underpaid Labor). They justified this by grouping SCOTUS legal precedents of slaves, Exslaves & Freemen decisions to deny Constitutional rights to These poor souls. The racist Insular Cases. Last used in 2020 to deny equal Social Security benefits to Puerto Rico.
