I think this is her.

I wouldn't be surprised if she's just the kid of some boricuas born in the US instead of a Rican per se, that is, another american with identity crisis.

They aren't. Telemundo or whatever the fuck you get on cable in your slum doesn't represent Latin America. The last telenovela I watched was from Peru, and the mayor and the police chief on the show were both black. The main star was a pretty indigenous looking mestizo.

I never said there wasn't discrimination. There is. But still that doesn't change the fact that nationality is more important than race to the vast majority.

Do you remember the name?
