I understand the word "colonial" comes from the Latin "colonus", meaning farmer. Who are PR's colonists? Are the expat blog members, who reside in PR and have their origins in the mainland, colonists? Or must the connection to the colonial power be more direct? What about a non-Puerto Rican federal judge (they're almost all Puerto Rican)? Is s/he a colonist?
If not, can you have a colony without any colonists?
