It's a subculture of America, surely, and I cannot count it as promoting
an accomodation of foreign culture supplanting American culture. Now, if
they ever decide to become a nation of their own, then they've entirely
rejected American culture and should be treated as foreign.
What I object to is calling the island an American colony. We didn't
colonize it; Spain did. We've never been a colonial power. That's not
our history. But it's become fashionable in recent years for some to
attempt to re-write history, making this false claim about the island's
status.
