Talk:Chinese immigration to Puerto Rico

message: The narrative here seems to copy some of the elements of the excellent Chinese Cuban. However, unlike that article, this is one is total original research, it alleges the existence of a "Barrio Chino" but doesn't document it for example. The topic is certinly notable, but the article needs major cleanup. Thanks!--Cerejota 21:37, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Barrio Chino in PR? Chinese immigration in the 19th Century? 

message: While I think the article is way better, and the work is great there are some things I want to open to discussion:
* Use of the ROC/Kuomintang (aka Taiwan) flag: this is a very contentious issue in WikiProjects around china, and a very politicized issue, in particular with the emergence of an ethnic Taiwanese independence movement. I suggest we also use the PRC (aka Mainland China) flag also, or refrain from using flags altogether. This is to be neutral in these debates.
* Population figures. The 2000 census is strange:
Under "one race":
Asian 7,960
Asian Indian 4,789
***Chinese 1,873***
Filipino 394
Japanese 251
Korean 244
Vietnamese 195
Other Asian 214
Under "Race alone or in combination with one or more other races":
Asian: 17,279
The 1,873 seems not to fit the personal experience of Chinese in Puerto Rico, such as their presence in schools and general culture. My guess is that the bulk of the nearly 10,000 people who identified as mixed Asian are of Chinese and Indian-Asian (we need an article on this!) heritage... By simple proportion extrapolation (not the best method I agree), there would be around 2,500 people of Chinese heritage + the 1,873 of the single race for a total of almost 4,500 people. I think this fits more into empirical observation of around ~5,000 (certainly there are more chinese than jews, and jews are around 3,000-4,000).
Thing is, this gets into dangerous OR territory... could we get a more reliable, verifiable source? Lacking population figures kills it for me in terms of QA/FA status, because that's a key bit of info on a population article such as this. Agree/disagree? --Cerejota (talk) 14:07, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some comments 

message: I went to Sunny Garcia's page, and went to the reference where he talks about his ethnicity, and he says this, exactly:
"On my Dad’s side, I’m pretty sure my grandparents came from Puerto Rico, their family came from Spain, so it went kinda Spain, Puerto Rico, then Hawaii. My mother’s side, my grandma’s Hawaiian/Chinese, so that was probably from the Chinese coming over. My mom’s mom is Spanish Filipino and her dad is Irish American Indian, so I’m mixed race."
From what I can tell, his Spanish ancestry is the only part of him from Puerto Rico.  Doesn't anyone have any opposing reference where he says that his Chinese ancestry is from Puerto Rico?  If not, he doesn't belong on this particular page. --Criticalthinker (talk) 08:22, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

message: I have been wanting to move this page so it can be short, like other diaspora pages. I feel like having "Immigration to" on all the immigration articles for Puerto Rico makes it unnecessarily long, which is why I wish to move this and other immigration to Puerto Rico pages can be shortened to "Chinese Puerto Ricans," "Irish Puerto Ricans," "French Puerto Ricans," etc.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheKumquatGuy2662 (talk • contribs) 23:20, 8 April 2022 (UTC)
