The NPC Phonebook: 60+ bite-sized system-agnostic NPC profiles

I see a lot of well meaning Americans saying things along the lines of "Um HELLO, Puerto Rico IS a part of the United States! They're Americans, too!" in the context of criticizing racism towards Puerto Rico e.g. Bad Bunny performing at the Superbowl. As a Boricua, I am here to tell you - PUERTO RICO IS NOT A PART OF THE UNITED STATES. This is a legal fact, not my personal opinion or cultural viewpoint.

As officially designated by the 1901 Insular Cases of the United States Supreme Court, Puerto Rico is an "unincorporated territory" "belonging to the United States, but not a part of the United States" (read: a colony - Puerto Rico is sadly but accurately dubbed The World's Oldest Colony)

People born in Puerto Rico do have US citizenship (which the US government only granted so that it could draft Puerto Ricans into the military) but are explicitly not afforded the full rights of the US Constitution. The US cherry picks what "rights" Puerto Ricans do and do not have while exploiting it as a tax haven and tourist playground. The most glaring and straightforward example - you cannot vote for the President of the US if you live in PR.

US Statehood is not a solution to any of this. That is another deeply misinformed liberal talking point. After over a century of abusing Puerto Ricans' human rights (forcibly sterilizing 1/3 of the women, using our land for bombing practice and causing insanely high cancer rates, massacring peaceful protestors, I could go on and on and on), full independence and sovereignty is the only acceptable resolution.

Yea, of course Bad Bunny can perform at the Superbowl. But because he is literally the planet's most listened to artist this year, NOT because Puerto Rico "is part of the United States." That is not true. Educated yourself. Que viva Puerto Rico libre.

The USA is remilitarizing Puerto Rico right now (and has been since Fall 2025) as it ramps up to terrorize Venezuela and the rest of the world, despite ongoing and growing protests.

Several military bases were recently reopened after Puerto Ricans shut them down with decades of intense protests. In the town I live in, the military planes flying to/from the bases fly so low, all day and night, that it's painfully loud even when you're inside. The first time it happened we thought it was an earthquake. The vibrations are so intense that they even wake up my deaf partner. Last night, I was woken up by one of these planes flying overhead at 4 AM. Sleep deprivation is literally a form of torture. This is becoming more and more frequent in recent weeks.

Kind of a side note, but many ecologically sensitive bats nest around my house. Thinking about how loud and painful these planes must be to their delicate ears is heartbreaking.

The United Nations has declared every year for many years that the USA is in fact holding Puerto Rico as an ILLEGAL COLONY. This only further highlights that there should be no US military presence in Puerto Rico.

Congress’s anti-communism target fell hard on Hollywood, and those in the industry who were suspected of communism at all were blacklisted from all jobs, because studio’s didn’t want to face backlash from Congress

Salt of the Earth was made nearly 100% with blacklisted crew members from Hollywood, and had such difficulty finding actors that they hired local citizens and miners from the actual strike the plot is based on. There were only 5 trained actors involved, and one of them (Rosaura Revueltas, the woman in the gif) was deported to Mexico before they finished filming on accusations of communism, with no proof and no substance. The filming was plagued with police harassment and threats (according to my professor they were shot at more than once), and the local union hall was burned down.
