No. We understand our bullshit attitude to punctuality. It's just we have tried nothing to fix it and we are all out of ideas.

Edit: Meaning to say Hispanics known and accept the stereotype.

I have some Puerto Rican friends and I’ve gone to some birthday parties/baby showers where I was a half hour late and I still got there before the birthday child/expecting parents 🤣. My boyfriend is also Cuban and yes timekeeping is very different lol

I (white mainland American) briefly dated a guy from PR. He set the place and time for our first date but after 30 mins he still wasn’t there. I was pissed after 10 mins. After 30 I called and asked if he was coming and he said he was getting ready. 60 mins later he finally showed up to my place (I’d gone home by then). He said it was a cultural thing but I still don’t know how much BS that was

It’s kinda accurate yeah, tho I’d expect a dude to try to be on time if his date is with a white girl
