Btw, Puerto Ricans are US citizens. But don't let that stop them.

They are insane...

I remember being amazed to learn Puerto Rico is part of the US... In 4th grade.

I’m fatigued by the constant racism and racist media which works both ways anything to keep the workers divided !!

Personally, I am thankful for these racists. If it weren't for them, I would have never heard of this dope ass band. I am diggin what I've heard of Bad Bunny so far, and am excited to hear more!

If only there was a non-racist way to share dope bands...

I am, of course, disgusted with this choice of Super Bowl halftime performer.

The obvious choice was to have Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce get married during the Super Bowl halftime, during which Taylor will not take the Kelce name, killing everyone watching over the age of 65.

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 46 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

Travis takes the name Swift. Conservative men melt down so badly that one of them goes out and blows Erika Kirk's head off.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 7 hours ago

Taylor, make this happen

[–] Default_Defect@anarchist.nexus 11 points 8 hours ago

Then we'd get "he followed Taylor Swift news, so he must have been a trans leftist!!"

I am, of course, disgusted with your proposed choice of Super Bowl halftime performer.

The even more obvious choice was to have Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce enter a civil union during the Super Bowl halftime, during which Taylor will not take the Kelce name while also announcing she is 4 months pregnant and the unborn child should be referred to as "they/them", killing nearly 40% of all viewers.

The US is trying to reject a part of their own territory as American.

Meanwhile, PRC is trying to claim territory not under the PLA's control as Chinese.

Ironic lol

Puerto Rico should just do a Taiwan tbh. I mean if they aren't treated like Americans, you might as well.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago (4 children)

They receive a lot of benefits as a territory. And whether the Hispanic media portrays it or not, they are a very impoverished community. Them declaring independence is never gonna happen.

Disgusting that this is who superbowl picked for their halftime show.. Claims to be a bunny, but turns out he's just some human dude. Typical.

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 65 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (3 children)

So.... would you say he's pretty bad at being a bunny? Like he's a bad bunny?

I'm still waiting for Iron Maiden or Judas Priest to do the halftime show.

I knew Rhianna is from Barbados, and that British rock bands are generally British. But I had no idea Shakira was Colombian!

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 15 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

She is Colombian and half Lebanese, too.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 15 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

And that is how she gives 150% at her shows!

(Sorry. Bad dad joke.)

It boggles my mind how many people still don't know PR is part of the US.

The president of Puerto Rico should be removed from office! For good this time!

[–] Brown5500@sh.itjust.works 34 points 10 hours ago

Thank you for your attention on this matter

I have a Canadian friend who asked me what is currently my favourite artist. I said bbno$, he answered "Nice, your fav artist is Canadian". I fully thought he's US artist

I mean, I don't like the choice, simply because I don't care for his music, but I have liked maybe 1 super bowl halftime ever, so whatever. It is funny seeing all the racists get mad because he speaks Spanish tho.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

The one where we saw Janet Jackson's alleged nipple?

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

That's always what's happening when they want to use the N-word and remember they shouldn't and then try to say it with other words.

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 78 points 14 hours ago (5 children)

Rhianna is from Barbados? Huh, TIL.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Hmm, this got me to look up the demonym for people from Barbados. I hoped it would be something interesting, but the official one is pretty boring: Barbadians. But, the unofficial one is a bit interesting: Bajans. I thought it would be pronounced like the Spanish "baja", but apparently it's "Bay - jenz". Which is a bit cool. Not as cool as their flag, but still cool.

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 hours ago

I'm going with Barbadasses
