I have encountered quite a few discussions about the tension between some Dominicans and Puerto Ricans regarding the international status of each state. I must, however, point out that it never got out of hand. It was always more of a joke between friends who never really cared too much about the issue, anyhow.
Now, I am aware of the fact that some Puerto Ricans take it to another level and that really aggravates the living hell out of me. Some tend to make empty claims of how much better they are then the rest of us. They feel they are better then us because they have something that was given to them. Let's think about that for a second. All I need now is for women on welfare to be proud (and not grateful) for the aid that they receive from the government. A lot of Puerto Ricans know for a fact that their non-independent country is the biggest puppet of the U.S and they would probably be worse off then we are if this was not a fact. Puerto Rico has nothing to offer the U.S other then (to put it in simple terms) a convinient military base. They want to ask me about my green card? Please!!! Puerto Rico cannot stand up and say this is ours or we have accomplished all this because everyone knows it would be to B.S. So, to bring this to a conclusion, I feel what most Puerto Ricans need to do is be grateful for what they have and stop taking credit for something that they know they didn't accomplish! Enough said!!

NOTE: By they way.....I have never had any major problem with Puerto Ricans due to this. I have tons of friends who are from there and most of the girlfriends that I've had are from there as well.
