For the life of me, I never could wrap my head around Puerto Ricans. In my honest, extremely racist glance, they are a tribe of islanders that have been blessed by having their inferior genes destroyed through race replacement by Spaniard sailors some 300+ years ago. Literally all the women must have flocked to (or been forced to) breed exclusively with these new great leaders. There isn't much genetic variation left amongst Puerto Ricans; they all look like fair-skinned mestizos.
In Mexico, on the other hand, the distillation of the native people was much less complete. You still have a mostly European upper class of Mexicans, and the natives who failed to interbreed retain their eternal place at the bottom (until they jump the Texas border and go on a spree off the White largesse in America). So, you have regal-looking politicians, and surely also judges, lawyers, and moguls.

Now, "high-yellow" Mexicans seem to have no problem identifying as Mexican rather than European, even though they all speak only the language of Spain and retain 80% of the genetic stock. (by the way, how long before the Spanish language gets renamed by pompous PC retards into the 'Hispanic' language?) They hold a natural advantage over their underclass, retain a bit of overt distinction from the northern Americans, and can stump for their elite international interests on a mostly level playing field.
Also quite Mexican
Puerto Ricans should be performing at or near the level of high-functioning Mexicans, but they are not. They don't really have a national sovereignty. They don't have an underclass to dominate and rule over. Perhaps they are inherently frustrated and bored for reasons it would never occur to them to express (or are incapable of elocuting). Maybe their little island was inhabited by natives that were even more unevolved and underdeveloped than the Aztecs, Incans, and Mayans, so that their being 15% non-White is more damning than a Mexican being 15% non-White.

(George Lopez, btw, is 55% European and only 32% Amerindian, even though he looks the part)
So, in evaluating the character of Aaron Hernandez, or attempting to access it from afar, let's consider that he's not so rosy as we might assume just by glancing at his bland complexion. I don't think anyone reading here believes that his parents, whoever they are, had much chance of influencing 'nurture over nature', although they may well have trained him to be a warrior. His fate was cast before he was born. He might be at the right end of a few bell curves of measurement, but he's also right smack in the middle of a much more encompassing bell curve, and we normal Whites forget that sometimes because inequality is such an abstract and prohibited lesson.
