But maybe I read that wrong. Maybe they are thrilled and hope for more and better bilingual skills over time.

"Puerto Ricans bringing their "bilingual skills" to Florida" does not sound racist in the least.
Folks, we need to be extremely careful when throwing accusations that one's comments sound racist and then throw in a "Maybe I read that wrong" to negate the inference. Libel is Libel. As it turns out it was not the OP's words in the quote.
In the court of public opinion once an accusation or inference is made, the targeted is typically guilty until proven innocent. How unfair is that?
It is however a very effective tool in quelling a debate.
