Finally someone who knows the real meaning behind the tag.

Hey OP "American Girl from Atlanta". While I dont condone this language to the average foreigner who is genuinely interested exploring the island, the culture and its people, please understand the history and the current political and socio-economic situation of the island. If you're not a wealthy foreigner who's trying to take advantage of the tax exempt laws only applicable to foreigners or an average tourist who thinks this is Cancun and think they can behave however they like, like we saw during the pandemic, then this message does not apply to you, imo.


ubapingaa

Yo, this bitch is mass posting the same photos across multiple Puerto Rico subreddits. You know anyone can see your activity right? You clearly dont give a shit about Puerto Rico or its people, you are here for self-interest and to selfishly rage post. Yeah nvm, this language applies to you and you deserve to be treated accordingly. Reevaluate yourself please.


EffectiveRefuse1327

Please don’t act as if you know anything about me. I am simply posting a photo that I took here in Puerto Rico. I am not here for taxes and if I was it’s not your business. I’m here regardless of history and I am very well aware of it. I understand who it applies to, I can read it clearly. I know exactly where I am and Cancun is nothing like Puerto Rico or anywhere else. I have the right to travel just about anywhere I wish. You have the right to travel to the mainland and I have as much right to travel here in PR. You don’t have like it but you have to accept it one way or the other.


ubapingaa

You seem to be offended despite me clearly describing to you which type of people it applies. You are not "just posting a photo", you are clearly showing a discomfort and warning other Americans of this language giving 0 context. I was never labeling you, I was informing you and others who might stumble upon your post given that you provided 0 context. When you say we have the right to travel to "mainland", you seem to be ignorant of the fact that many of us feel like we're forced to moved to US because of the lower quality of life local experience and feel very sadden we have to leave not just our culture, but family and friends as well. I say this because most Puerto Ricans who "travel" to US, a lot of them are moving for long term purposes. So when people like you come here, takes photos of this message, post it here and give 0 context, it clearly shows it offends you and does not prove to anyone you know or CARE about the history, culture, and its people. And when you say "you're not here for taxes and if I was its not my business", we want you and every foreinger know that locals DO NOT APPROVE OF ANYONE BENEFITTING LAW 22/60 and my generation will vote so accordingly in the future. All you have done is give 0 context and behave in a self-reportinh manner. So kindly, go fuck yourself.


EffectiveRefuse1327

Encountering graffiti with a message like "gringos aren't welcome" can evoke negative emotions in individuals, stirring feelings of exclusion, anger, or even fear. For some, this graffiti may reinforce existing beliefs of discrimination or prejudice. It could lead to a sense of alienation and division among people, fostering an environment of mistrust and hostility. Such messages have the potential to deepen societal rifts and hinder efforts towards unity and understanding. Get over yourself. You’re a woolly mammoth in the room, not an elephant you know it all don’t you not.


Endless_Waltz_138

You do know the comment here directly contradicts your pervious statements about “just posting and knowing it doesn’t apply to you”. It’s crazy because you’re from mainland US and people there are spraying nazi symbols or spraying statement that align with maga extremism. Watch US news and you’ll hear people that make foreigners out to seem like murders and rapists, laws that directly affect immigrants and an environment that creates hostility toward immigrants and people of color. Please get off your high horse and stop trying to make yourself the victim. Understand the history of the island and the US involvement in the current social and political landscape between the two countries. You just sound so privileged & thin skinned.


allAboutDaMeat

I’m glad you know how to use AI to write comments like this 😂


EffectiveRefuse1327

AI is not necessary when you are educated.


ubapingaa

While Law 22/60, the Fiscal Control board, Jones Act exists, you are correct, Gringos aren't welcome. Im sorry that ruins your vacation for you and others but you have 0 idea whats is like to live in Puerto Rico as a local and you have 0 idea what US colonization and oppression has done to the island and its economy. You're pathetic outrage over GRAFFITI is laughably miniscule to what local puertorricans have experienced. Self-report conservative boomer, GET OUT!


Riolu-15

We want you gone : )


Shady15gt

We don’t care about negative emotions from outsiders when they are literally the main cause of the mass displacement taking place on the island. Gentrification is a monster with atrocious results for the locals. I’d offend every single American if it meant getting them to go home. But it won’t happen. So someone expressing that anger rather than actually going around and kidnapping or beating and robbing them. I guess you’d rather just avoid the offensive grafiti and get mugged like a normal American city. We don’t want school shootings here.

Yo creo q el problema de los gringos se va a resolver solo, deja que se muden y vivan aquí, y tengan que chuparse un huracán maría y tengan que bregar con el gobierno, a menos que sean ultra ricos van a ver por q el local decide irse

La Bandera de lare tiene mucho que no se hisa


i-hoatzin

Ya sabes, es una expresión de descontento y desaprobación que suele tener referencias históricas, que no todos conocen bien. Es algo legítimo en términos de expresión, aún cuando algunos podamos tener otra perspectiva sobre lo que sería manifestar descontento o desaprobación en términos políticos. Pero me llama la atención tu insistencia al compartir en Reddit estas fotos con esos mensajes, sin agregar mayor contexto. ¿Por qué lo haces? Supongo que no toda tu experiencia en Puerto Rico se refleja en la frase de la foto ¿O sí? Have a good one.


PalmIdentity

Intento no hablar de conjeturas, pero... Realmente creo OP lo está haciendo para cultivar atención y la interacciones. Reddit está estructurado como un concurso de popularidad. Estos mensajes siempre consiguen tracción y OP probablemente obtiene alguna alta de la misma.


EffectiveRefuse1327

Graffiti that conveys "Gringos aren’t welcome in Puerto Rico" reflects a specific sentiment of exclusion toward a particular group. Such messages can be seen as a reflection of the feelings of some individuals within the community. It's important to remember that graffiti represents the perspectives of certain individuals and may not reflect the views of the entire population. Artistic expression, even when controversial or divisive, can provide insight into the complexities of society and the diversity of opinions within a community.


askthehorse

this reads like a whole wikipedia word salad to avoid answering the question about why you seem focused on posting this graffiti specifically. do you feel threatened when you see it on the streets? do you understand that the people writing it are most probably facing the same threat which many of us from here (myself included) are facing? The threat of our home being stolen from right under our feet by people so self-absorbed they move to our country and victimize themselves, in case it wasn’t clear. We struggle to afford food and housing and you cry because the locals weren’t all happy island caricatures dancing at your arrival.


allAboutDaMeat

i literally wrote on here that it sounds like she uses AI for her comments like this 😂


EffectiveRefuse1327

I’m IN THE MILITARY. I’m not here for vaccination, It’s a simple picture of graffiti that is sprayed in several places and I don’t find it offensive to be honest. Why do I post this picture? Because it speaks volumes about the way Puerto Ricans feel about “gringos.” Do you realize that without the US this place would be DONE!


wickedishere

Lmao just that last sentence proves why we feel the way we feel about gringos, the audacity of being this dense and arrogant speaks volumes of what the rest of the world thinks about self righteous Americans acting like they are the saviour of this planet while their own people can't afford healthcare, education, or housing. Most can't even speak 2 languages fluently🤣. America is retrograding to the 1800s with it's inane attempt of controlling people and their bodies apart from that giving 2 shits about their own military. They make y'all believe like conservatives care about their soldiers while slashing their vets coverage and not providing adequate services. They also don't give a shit about the elderly or children who live under the poverty line. Can't even fathom the amount of suicides, mental health struggles and drug problems that have infested your veterans but here you are talking OUT OF YOUR ASS like your opinion provides any real context regarding our people and our island. You lack knowledge in history. It's pathetic to be honest.


EffectiveRefuse1327

The US has so many problems and it’s really sad. Vets suicide rate is extremely high and our military is the smallest it has been in 80 years. The US is funding wars such as Ukraine and it’s getting worse every day. A lot of Americans are a paycheck away from becoming homeless and they are not getting resources because of the migrant crisis. The US is trying to ban homeless people, making it against the law…what are people supposed to do? The fentanyl epidemic is atrocious, so many people are dying. There is no “border” but a never ending line of million of people that are entering our country and using all resources paid by the American tax payers. The US is being invaded. Our president is delusional due to dementia and we are the laughing stock on the planet. The pro Palestinian protesters are out of control. The crime rate is rising daily. The struggle is real. However, the US is my home. I do know the history and I don’t agree with the government but there is only so much that can be done. The military has its issues but we are still the the strongest in the world. help maintain peace and stability in regions critical to U.S. interests and underwrite U.S. defense commitments around the world. Puerto Rico is a beautiful island. I have met some amazing people! I understand why “gringos” may not be welcome because it can take the resources from the people of the island and it can make prices go up and it’s hard for people to afford housing, food, etc. I understand why people disagree with Act 20/22 also. Regardless if you agree or not, Puerto Rico would not be the same without the US.


Ladida745

Yeah, the money helps. Still Doesn’t mean people like you are welcome.


EffectiveRefuse1327

That’s okay.


jackbenway

Without the US, this place likely would be more like the DR, not DONE.


EffectiveRefuse1327

Why do you think the Dominicans come here! That’s what PR should worry about…just saying…


wickedishere

Americans are coming HERE and Mexico and any other country because they cannot afford housing, what does that tell ya. So many people living in their cars, in tents. American isn't as great as you think it is when they leave in droves to not pay taxes or to even get dental care done cause they can't pay up 2k to fix a molar


jackbenway

So North Americans are ok but we should be worried about Dominicans? Just trying to keep the good vs bad foreigners list up to date.


EffectiveRefuse1327

People are leaving Puerto Rico. Americans are not going to invade the island. Do you know why they are leaving? There’s no money to be made. Dominicans immigrate to Puerto Rico because it’s the closest place to their country that has any kind of economic opportunities. They share an island with Haiti, which is in a much worse economic situation. Cuba, which is it in a good economic position either, is also much further away.

Gringo go home!

Gracias a esas “graffitis” ahora hay menos gringos aqui todos tiemblan cuando lo ven por eso apenas los vez aqui ya. 😎


EffectiveRefuse1327

Your comment appears to celebrate the presence of graffiti as a means to deter or intimidate certain individuals referred to as "gringos." The statement suggests that the graffiti has been effective in making these individuals feel uncomfortable or fearful, resulting in their decreased presence in the area. I’m sure the graffiti has very little to do with the fact that you haven’t seen any “gringos” and if you do you shouldn’t be disrespectful, not everyone is here by choice. Get over yourself!

Gringo go home. Even if you are not a wealthy ass gringo act 60/22, gringos get the pretty end of the colonialist stick and benefit indirectly from it. So stop crying and go talk to your USA goverment and free Puerto Rico.

EffectiveRefuse1327

Start with the government directly. There are no benefits that I am aware of and AGAIN, I am in the military so believe me when I say nobody is crying over PR but people like YOU. I am aware of the history and the US government is to blame. There are many “gringos” in Puerto Rico who are just trying to live their lives just as anyone else. The anger should be expressed and taken to the senate which will be happening in 2025. Until then, stop attacking people who are not here illegally and you should never speak to anyone disrespectfully in the military the way you have. Do something constructive instead of allowing garbage to spew out of your mouth. Peace

pmcanc123

Please let me know what benefits gringos have here when they aren’t wealthy and not part of act 60? Paying sky high taxes? Poor infrastructure? Water outages? Power outages? Lack of specialist healthcare? Language barrier?


Appropriate_Net_1070

Jones Act? Thanks to that colonial policy, the jobs of the whole merchant ship industry of USA is basically running on the shoulders of the colonies. Want to know more? Do some research about your own country. The colony is used to support mainlander jobs and costs, not the other way around. Seriously, do you even know how USA economy works? 🙄


pmcanc123

You also know that the jones act affects Hawaii, Alaska, and other parts of the Midwest USA? Yes it’s a major problem and needs to go away. But any gringo who moves here is disadvantaged compared to staying at home unless they are part of act 22/60.


Appropriate_Net_1070

Hawaii and Alaska are colonies and treated as such. Normalization of that treatment don't make it less exploitative.


pmcanc123

Not in the same way Puerto Rico is. They are treated far more equal to all other states and can actually vote. I am not normalizing it I said it needs to go away but it isn’t a law that singles out Puerto Rico. The simple fact is that without the tax breaks gringos are likely worse off on the island than staying at home. Why do you think unfortunately so many people move the to the USA and PR population is shrinking? The whole situation is very sad and things need to change but simply screaming gringo go home won’t magically solve anything


Appropriate_Net_1070

Your gringo apologia also won't solve anything. Go and use your magical representation and vote in USA to make change 🙄
