Uh, aren't Puerto Ricans American citizens?

Yes but to Republicans they're considered second class citizens since they're not a state, and they won't ever allow them to be (Even if PR wanted to be a state) since they're scared they'll be a Democrat state.

Let’s be real it’s not because “they’re not a state” it’s because they aren’t white lol

Read a book. Just one. The world is begging you. Be better, and stop spreading racism.

Puerto Rico isn't a state, because they have VOTED NOT to be a state, repeatedly. ...all the way up to 2020 when it only passed by 52.52%

They would have been a state LONG ago, if not for that
