A Community of Exceptions

Have you ever heard of blind bigotry? That's when somebody meets you and is so impressed by your work ethic or some other value you portray but have a hard time believing you're Puerto Rican.
"Nooooooooo! You are the exception to the rule!"
Some people are so blind to believe that an ethnicity determines the personality of the individual.
"You are the exception to the rule".
I have met so many people who think and/or say these things and do not consider themselves bigoted or racist or what-have-you.
But besides finding the "blind bigot" once in a while, I also find those "exception's to the rule" so much that I now call us "the community of exceptions".

You know that you belong to "the community of exceptions" when you know and identify with who you are and where you came from, AND there are no excuses to your success. You are aware of your accomplishments in your life but know dam well that you are not the only one from your background to be doing what you do.

Because I belong to the Community of Exceptions, I think a new think-tank is an exceptional idea for Puerto Rico's Development.
But I am certainly NOT the only one thinking about ANOTHER think-tank for Puerto Rico.
Why?
If there is one thing that any post-war state/colony/commonwealth has done to improve the education level of its population, it is Puerto Rico. And since Puerto Rico has historically been successful in increasing education levels in its population, it should follow that the culmination of this success should be rooted in the pursuit of development, knowledge, and the useful role that people have played in the Development process.

Is it true that another think-thank in Puerto Rico that is not centered on its people has not materialized because it is too much to handle?

Puerto Ricans, let's NOT be reactive. Let's be proactive.
