Racism of the media, maybe. Puerto Rico's plight was not covered to the same extent of Houston's.

Actuality it's more xenophobic than racist-it wouldn't be much different if everyone in PR were white and spoke Spanish. (Obviously the xenos in this case isn't about US citizenship.) Yes, that distinction matters. But it's the evil of bigotry regardless, both angering and sad.

Don’t forget, adding insult to injury, the GOP also decided to give Puerto Rico a new 12.5% tax on any income generated from patents and licenses held by foreign companies outside the United States in the new tax bill.

If Puerto Ricans were smart they'd now be pushing for independence instead of doing another bogus plebiscite for statehood. They're always going to get a raw deal from the US and will always be treated as a colony as long as they remain part of it.

The fact that Puerto Rico has no real representation in gov't is probably more important to understanding the garbage response than all these other factors.

Which is a result of imperial colonisation & hence racism? Seems like a distinction without difference
