Re:word translation
The word boriqua came from the word Boriken which came from the Taino indians that lived in puerto rico before the spanish moved in. So when puerto ricans use this word, its recognizing and in a way representing their Taino heritage :)
Sources- I'm half PR and i looked up about the taino indians in wikipedia :p
