So one thing is that in PR Krug wouldnt be Black/Trigueña/Prieta at all. She relied on AngloAmerican one drop ism to be able to claim Blackness y ya. I wonder if she was even privy to the terms we use in PR & how one drop helped her avoid that part of the discussion
two things: afrodescedientes in PR use different terms for color etc

One drop doesnt exist for us

Ppl use one dropism to their advantage in a way that allows them to side step accountability for how they treat other Blk ppl. We've seen it.
In the same way that mestizaje is used against Indigenous and Afro Latines to silence and erase them in the wider scope of "Latinidad" with some 'we all mestizo'

no
we're not
