Rosa brothers, least Puerto Rican looking people ever, running for Puerto Rico

They're both Puerto Rican. Their last name is rosa. They decided to run for Puerto Rico since it is easier to qualify than for USA and allows them to compete at a high level meet

There father is a native Puerto Rico.

As other users have said, they're Puerto Rican. If they're smart they'll also run for Puerto Rico in the Olympics instead of joining the crowded group trying for American spots. From a marketing standpoint it's perfect, they're guaranteed Olympians.

There's plenty of Arabs who moved to Puerto Rico over the centuries.

I don't think they'll be vying for a spot on the American team. Jose was blown out the back tonight.

Lots of Hispanic people are white. With the right genetics it can take only 3 generations to go from black hair dark brown eyes to a redhead.

Isn't it about time to stop worrying about whether someone "looks" American or Puerto Rican or whatever?

What is the "American" look anyway? Is it obesity and XXL football jerseys? By this standard, there is not a single runner who looks "American. "

The only time a Puerto Rican goes ginger is when the dark haired ones try to dye their hair blond and get orange. This guy has a right to be suspicious

America is blessed in that nationality is not tied to ethnicity.

Some guy trying to make out a "puerto rican look"-- when their DNA is approximately 66% European, 18% West African, and 16% Native American-- is doomed to failure.

Get over it. There simply is no "puerto rican look."

You do know they have to get the Olympic Standard right?

Which in 2012 was 13:20 and 27:45

Joe has ran 13:33/29:16

Jim 13:50/28:57

If they can stay injury free I think they could crack 13:20, especially Joe, he seems to have more speed (3:47 1500m), but it's not even gaureenteed that they will decide to run professionally

So what does an American look like?

Real Americans can be seen at Walmart.

Puerto Rican chicks are hot

Of course. I should have been more specific, assuming they get the standard they're guaranteed a spot but if they instead choose to run for America they have to beat out at 10 guys faster than them. Seeing how they're only 21 and are so close I think getting the standard next year is a given.

Until very recently it was and, probably sooner than many might imagine, it will be gain.

The USA is now just a collection of hostile groups (feminists, sodomites, Muslims, Blacks, and Hispanics) who hate each other, unified only by being able to profit from the demise of the white heterosexual male, eventually this won't be enough.

Where do you live in the US?

Because where I live in California, all of these people are living, working, and breeding with each other. The "hostility" only seems to come from people on message boards, not in real life...

Strongly agreed. I live in Florida and it is the same way. And I travel weekly on business, and maybe because it is in high tech, I also work with people of all types. The hostility doesn't come from diversity but rather from those who are isolated from it - by their own choice or otherwise.

Joe: 14:29 for 13th out of 14 finishers (14th was 16:30.

Jim: DNS.

Did they just want a free trip to Toronto?

You can send one representative in each respective event as long as the athlete has met the B standard. One Rosa can go in the 5k, another one in 10k, assuming they hit the B standard (which obviously is easier to achieve).

I can't imagine what it is like to be a liberal and so ignorant of ethnic warfare raging all around you, because the liberal media sources never cover it (for obvious reasons).

At sentencing, Feess said Santiago Rios was a "proponent of the racial cleansing of the city of Azusa" and an admitted participant in "every significant aspect of the gang's activities."

The Rioses and 49 other Azusa gang members were arrested in June 2011 and charged with, among other things, a conspiracy to "cleanse" Azusa of its black residents, according to prosecutors.

All 51 have been convicted. Eight remain to be sentenced, said Reema El-Amamy, the federal prosecutor in the case.

Santiago Rios was a reputed Azusa 13 "keyholder" — a shotcaller anointed by the Mexican Mafia prison gang to tax drug dealers, sell drugs and funnel the proceeds to Mafia members, according to a federal plea agreement.

In that position, he implemented an Azusa 13 policy dating from 1992 of targeting and harassing black people in Azusa, according to the agreement. The push to attack blacks was allegedly instigated by Ruben Rodriguez, a Mexican Mafia member from Azusa who has since died.

The gang would assault blacks they spotted in public places and spray racist graffiti. Some gang recruits were asked to attack blacks as a way of proving their worth to Azusa 13, according to the plea agreement.

The Azusa 13 case highlighted how incarcerated Mexican Mafia leaders can create havoc among street gang members they have never met but who obey their orders. Similar cases of the Mexican Mafia influencing Latino gang attacks on blacks have occurred in Hawaiian Gardens, San Bernardino, the Florence-Firestone District, Pacoima, Harbor Gateway, Glassell Park and Highland Park.

When several gang members were released on parole in 1999 and 2000, normally quiet Azusa saw its hate-crimes rate skyrocket over the next three years, as gang members attacked black residents.
