He's fucking American, I genuinely don't even understand their issue with him is. I get that it's just racism but how do they rationalise it without admitting its just racism? What are their talking points because it makes no sense
they are racist...
I totally get that but usually they have some talking point to avoid directly admitting that
They don't do that anymore. Not since January 21st 2025.
I literally don't think that the raciats understandthat Bad Bunny is American.
I'm not even American and even I know Puerto Rico is an American territory 😭
Yes, but many Americans don't know that. The name is Spanish. Hell, so many Americans don't realize that New Mexico is a state in their own country.
And it wasn't until the U.S. invaded Mexico and forced it to cede large swaths of its territory. Same with California, Arizona, Nevada, etc.
Puerto Rico didn't exactly beg to be annexed, either.
I think a lot of this panic about Latin American people illegally taking over the United States stems from repressed colonial guilt.
Less guilt and more the expectation of revenge.
Perhaps.
This is just the mask-off, "We don't care that he's a US citizen...he's not white", kind of racism. They aren't even pretending that there's more to it at this point.
They are going full blown Nazi.
They've been there since 2015
1969
Oooooh that explains a lot thanks
It's a territory and Puerto Ricans are born American citizens.
Ya my bad, even though they can't vote or receive citizen befits.
They can if they move to a state and register there. It is kinda weird that they could then move to another country and vote as an ex-pat but not if they move back to PR.
~~That’s nice but also very naive…~~
Gotta remember to always quote what I’m replying to so when folks edit their comment I’m not out here looking like an asshole…¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My bad 😅
Not the end of the world - it’s just a few downvotes on Lemmy…
Maybe if comment clarifies your perspective or whatever, reply instead of editing?
Normally I'd put it under an "edit:" but I thought I was quick enough this time that I wouldn't need to haha
I literally just edited another comment and thought about this exchange and how that would probably work too.
