The reasoning is that few immigrants - just like in the local population - will be committing criminal acts. I don't think the crime statistics show that there are no criminal acts committed by immigrants as well. But maybe I have misunderstood you. What exactly is your point?

Thank you for blocking, fragile person. Be proxy-offended somewhere else.

Well, the minimum of main culture aspects being supporting the democracy, a certain amount of tolerance for others with different opinion and looks, rule of law. "well integrated subculture" meaning people joining an already exisiting main culture in different ways, like immigrants and not being openly hostile to people with other opinions or looks who stem from other subcultures/backgrounds without proper reason. An indication of a failed integration are parallel societies within one country.

Yes, I would agree with you that polite, nonviolent and maybe even friendly interaction is positive. The main culture aspect or fundamental understanding of the US society is problematic these days. One could even argue whether it's still exists. However, since there are many people who fight for it, you could at least argue that the idea still exists.

"we would be far poorer without the contributions from other cultures" Very much debatable. There are so many positive AND negative aspects of it. People from the ends of the political spectrum see it in a contrasting manner. Pro-immigration people will biased towards positivity á la "enrichment" while contra-immigration people will be biased towards negativity á la "criminals and rapists". The truth is somewhere in between - both things can be true at the same time, often depending on the individuals and group dynamics. It's complex.

The part about the food is very much true. The same thing is true for Turkish and Middle-Eastern food here in Germany and I very much enjoy it. An argument against it would be illegal immigration, human and drug trafficking, narco organizations, wage competition, wages without taxation and so on. On the other hand, you have great workers who value education for their kids, have good food, are sometimes lovely people, support the wobbly demographics and so on. I think we can all agree that your president and ICE are not a good solution for any of this though. It was never meant to be one.

I know they're satirizing it. But that was the point, they're still singing part about the song in English so that English speakers still understand part of it. That makes the art more powerful in my opinion.

ok, deflect then. why go through all that effort of writing all this if you don't want an answer? Oh, right. You're trying to pretend to yourself that you're right.

enjoy your life in America then. seems to go swimmingly for guys like you who know everything about integration and understanding.

You know, this actually plays IN FAVOUR of my argument and shows that you know fuck all about Rammstein. When Rammstein made a song critical of US culture, they actually DID partiallly sing in English!

-> Amerika "We're all living in America! Amerika, ist wunderbar!" "This is not a love song This is not a love song I don't sing my mother tongue No, this is not a love song"

You guys don't know shit and yet you criticize me. And the absurd thing is that I'm not even criticizing Bad Bunny, but am in favour of his message.

I never said that it's not an official language. Why accuse me of something I've not said? "Pointing out that this country’s identity is and should be about more than White English Speakers." Yeah, as I said, the show was okay. But I wished I could have understood the lyrics as well. And I think a lot of other people would have wished for that as well. The ending show sign was very good though.

You haven't read my comment by the way. I said I watched a video of it (on YouTube). There were no subtitles available under that video. I also haven't said that this show should've pandered to White English speakers. That's another baselesse accusation. I said it would have been a more powerful message, if the message he rapped about in the lyrics would have been at least partially understandable to English speakers. A mix would have shown how both languages are part of the same US-American identity. That's what I was about.

How the fuck am I supposed to know as a German that this show had subtitles in the original tv screening? By the way, most people on Reddit have mentioned that it actually didn't have any subtitles, so there were probably differences in to whom it was available. Maybe dependent on the tv station?

Fuck's sake man. Why do you make up shit to get offended about? We're on the same team. Some of you guys are a bunch of nitpicky assholes who thrive on finding things to argue about rather than trying to find things you might have in common.

I don't want to watch those for exactly those reasons. Your description of it is very vague though. Can you describe in general terms what was happening so that people here know what those people were doing to other people?
