Список пуэрториканцев

Это список известных людей из Пуэрто -Рико , в который входят люди, родившиеся в Пуэрто -Рико (Боринкен), и людей, которые имеют полный или частичный Пуэрториканский происхождение. Правительство Пуэрто -Рико выпускает «сертификаты о гражданстве Пуэрто -Рико» любому, кто родился в Пуэрто -Рико или любому, кто родился за пределами Пуэрто -Рико, по крайней мере, с одним родителем, который родился в Пуэрто -Рико с 2007 года. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] В список также включены некоторые долгосрочные континентальные американские и другие жители или иммигранты других этнических наследий, которые сделали Пуэрто-Рико своим домом и считают себя пуэрториканцами.
Список разделен на категории и, в некоторых случаях, подкатегории, которые лучше всего описывают область, для которой субъект наиболее отмечен. Некоторые категории, такие как «актеры, актрисы, комики и директора», являются относительными, поскольку субъект, который является комиком, также может быть актером или директором. В некоторых случаях субъект может быть замечен в более чем одной области, такой как Луис А. Ферре , который известен как бывшим губернатором, так и промышленником. Тем не менее, обычай состоит в том, чтобы разместить имя субъекта в категорию, для которой субъект наиболее отмечен.
