Puerto Rico- moving towards statehood?

[Sulfur]

The same grounds on which we would deny Canada statehood, I suppose.

A better idea would be to give Puerto Rico their independence.

[Sulfur]

It's the culture divide that will keep them out.

Serving in the US Military, while noble, isn't really grounds for admitting a 51st state into the Union. I suspect that you want them to join to help the Democratic party.

[Sulfur]

We don't want another culture influencing our politics. By your absurd definition of racism, we'd have to let China enter the Union if they asked.

We'd turn them down, on the basis of a cultural divide, just as we would for Puerto Rico. We have enough Americans who have forgotten the value of freedom as it is.

[Sulfur]

You said it was racist to not accept them because of a cultural divide. That's the reason we wouldn't accept China. It's the exact same reason.

China is not a US territory, so what? The fact that Puerto Rico is does not change the fact that it's a completely different culture that you just want added to get some more Democrat voters - which is the last thing we need.
