minus-squareJo Miran@lemmy.mlOPMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up18·6 months agoMy pilates instructor argued with me for a good ten minutes. She was convinced PR was a different country. Me: It’s just like the US Virgin Islands Her: Well that makes sense, they are the US Virgin Islands Me: So if Puerto Rico renamed to “US Puerto Rico”, only then would they be part of the US?!? Wow.
