Spanish speaking carribeans tend to be ashamed of there physical connection with africa, they accept the culture(music, dance, food, etc...), but when it comes to skin color and hair texture they are very vocal, I talked to someone that visited the island and was told some nightclubs still use the paperbag test before you can enter. I know situations where the male members did not want there female family members to date dark skinned guys, when in there case they looked black themselves. Another incidence was told to me by a friend that was married to a dark brown skinned puerto rican (my friend is a very fair skin black woman): his sister, who is dark skin asked her to come and see her family on tv, which was a group of monkeys, and another female friend who is white and was engaged to a dark skin puerto rican, said that he pointed to a black woman standing on a corner and said "look at the monkey".
