Looking for the perspective of anyone that has lived anywhere in the USA and moved to Puerto Rico. What’s it like, what’s different, what’s nicer, what was unexpected, and would you recommend the move?

      There was no implication that PR is a foreign country. Americans moving there would likely have a different experience than Canadians, Europeans, Mexicans, etc. because it’s part of the US.

      Just because “mainland USA” wasn’t used doesn’t mean it’s racist. Would it have been perceived the same way if Hawaii was substituted?

        Probably not, because everyone knows that Hawaii is a state but a lot of people don’t know that Puerto Rico is a territory and the populace has citizenship.
