Nuyorican was a term made to describe the second generation of Puerto ricans that were actually born in america (New York) and when invented was invented to be a good thing. Nuyoricans and people that call themselves Nuyorican are usually from the streets and are "ghetto" if you will and because of this the more stuck up Puerto ricans of america's generation that havn't had to feel the struggle of their people in America associate Nuyoricans with wiggers. Which is not the case, it is rather that because hispanics and blacks in america have been the most opressed for such a long time that the cultures seem to blend and get along, however because of the stereotype created by whites a long time ago that blacks are the only ones in the hood the puerto ricans and latins that are lucky or not from the streets think that just because Nuyoricans picked up the ghetto urban style means that they want to be black.
