Trump, Puerto Ricans, Racism and Caribbean Identity

In this episode, we dive into a candid conversation about the complex dynamics of race, colonialism, and identity within Caribbean communities, especially Puerto Rican identity in the United States. Our host unpacks the legacies of colonialism, the perception of "proximity to whiteness," and the cultural divides between islanders and U.S.-based Puerto Ricans. We explore why some Puerto Ricans align politically in unexpected ways and discuss how racial tensions, privilege, and history shape these divides. Tune in for an unfiltered look at how Caribbean identity is understood, misrepresented, and, ultimately, lived.
