The country of ... Puerto Rico??

A nation perhaps but why TF is he calling it a country

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (9 children)

Because no one calls where they live a nation? Country is the generic people term for place you live, we don't care about the legal distinctions and specifications.

It's less of a legal distinction and more of a definition thing. He is objectively using the wrong word.

It would not be incorrect to refer to the people of Puerto Ricans as a nation by the definition of the word. The word nation does not refer to a place but a group of people.

They used the right word in common speak, any other word would feel out of place.
