+5 Yes, Puerto Rico is widely considered a colony—or often described as the world’s oldest colony—due to its status as an unincorporated U.S. territory. While residents are U.S. citizens, they lack voting representation in Congress, cannot vote for president,
71% of Americans have no idea that Puerto Ricans are American citizens.

Old stats but: 5.8 million Puerto Ricans in the US and 3.3 million in Puerto Rico in 2021 (about 340million total in the us in 2021).
I would say 29% is accurate if you include people that would rather be Puerto Ricans right now
Lol you had me going with the 29%!
