Nuyorican

An infamous example of this would be the Puerto Rican Flag which was created in 1895 New York by Juan de Mata Terreforte along with 59 other exiled independistas.

Consequently, the New York City metropolitan area has witnessed a significant increase in its Nuyorican population, individuals in the region of Puerto Rican descent, increasing from 1,177,430 in 2010 to a Census-estimated 1,494,670 in 2016,[8] maintaining New York's status by a significant margin as the most important cultural and demographic center for Puerto Ricans outside San Juan.

[9] Some of the newer poets include Willie Perdomo, Flaco Navaja, Nancy Mercado, Emanuel Xavier, Edwin Torres, J.L.

This changed from the original meaning with the increase in travel back and forth to different parts of the United States and the globe.

Many Nuyoricans are second- and third-generation Puerto Rican living in mainland USA whose parents or grandparents arrived in the New York metropolitan area during the Gran Migración (Great Migration).

[14] The Gran Migración accelerated migration from Puerto Rico to New York during the 1940s and 1950s, but such large-scale emigration began to slow by the late 1960s.

Even though Puerto Ricans are one of the most prevalent ethnic groups in New York City, Americans weren’t always so welcoming to their Nuyrorican neighbors.

[22] Under these campaigns countless Puerto Rican women were sterilized after being pressured from health care providers or even without their consent.
