Corsican descent

In the article, the "see also" section^{(Corsican immigration to Puerto Rico)} and the Category:Corsican-Puerto Ricans refer to a Corsican descent.

The same applies to the Eddie Palmieri article. This immigration topic should be stated in the text soon (with references). I would be interested to know more about it. I presume this matter is obsolete anyway, because neither Charlie nor Eddie themselves came from Corsica but their ancestors... but maybe there is some Wikipedia guideline about it which I don't know about. --Scriberius (talk) 22:38, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree with the placement of the Corsican-Puerto Rican; French-Puerto Rican, so on and so forth categories, because in Puerto Rico, unlike some other places like the United States, people do not referrer themselves by ethnicity, they simply referrer to themselves as Puerto Ricans, regardless of where their ancestors came from.

In the case of having "Corsican immigration to Puerto Rico" in the "See also", I see no problem since the Palmieri's were among the first Corsican families which immigrated from Corsica to the island. It also serves Knowledge seekers such ourselves. You see most people who have no or little knowledge of the history of Puerto Rico (including Puerto Ricans themselves) assume that if a person is Puerto Rican, he/she must have a Hispanic surname and be of Spanish/African/Taino descent. Then when an article is written about a Puerto Rican who does not have a Hispanic surname such as Palmieri, Cheng, Beauchamp, Rieckehoff, Schmidt, O'Niell, McClintock, Levy and Leavitt which are common in Puerto Rico, knowledge seekers will have the opportunity to learn why this is so. There is nothing in policy which states that this cannot be done. Take care. Tony the Marine (talk) 02:15, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
