There are no more than 15% of Americans that speak Spanish fluently. The most important annual sporting event for those other 85% spoken in a language they do not understand is as direct an insult as there could be.
I was too young to conceive of it at the time, but remember when there was that “Latino wave” in pop music in the late 90s and early 2000s (Ricky Martin, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Santana)? Was that because there was an immigration debate at that time and it was just another psyop? It wouldn’t surprise me.
Horatio Sanz had a bit on SNL about how paltry the "Latin Explosion" had been. Sanz is a lib & meant it as a plea for more Latinos in entertainment. But he really hammered home how fake & gay it was.
It's a hostile takeover and almost an act of war. Much more serious than many people think. It was a giant and deliberate middle finger to white America -- cultural, linguistic, and obviously racial.
Wilmot Robertson ("The Dispossessed Majority") described it in the 90s as "that great, sick, floundering demographic whale, which can be attacked, slashed, bitten, and nipped at with impunity" by minorities, who feel empowered and provocative, and are picking fights with the white population.
Can we all agree too that Boricua Spanish is the worst Spanish? It's like French, in that every word is nasalized and prevents any native speaker from learning any other language without a huge accent. It makes the men sound feminine, like they're whining all the time. It's literally a baby language spoken by adults.
To be honest, thought you’d try and basewash it, too. Nice to see that you didn’t. But, you must come to terms with the fact that this is the Turbo America you defend. This is the American Dream. Sigh.
Estoy de acuerdo con el artículo; es porque la educación y el zeitgeist actuales en América Latina están fuertemente influenciados por el comunismo. No todos los hispanos se avergüenzan de los grandes conquistadores europeos de antaño que derrotaron a los moros. Nota curiosa: el apellido del actual gobernador es Colón. Lol
Yup, it's an attempt to slander, diminish, or suppress traditional white America. There's a racial conflict underlying this country. I want to share a story: This past weekend I was at a restaurant and I saw a mixed social group of 5 schoolkids, two whites and three Asians, sitting together. I got curious because social groups are usually segregated in America, but in this case, the kids had their two respective moms sitting next to them (it was two families) -- one white, one Asian -- and I thought that maybe the white family had diverse friends. But then I took another look and noticed that something was off about the white kids; they weren't all that pale, and some had odd facial features. The more I looked the more I realized they weren't really white. Then one of the white ones turned around and I saw definitive non-white Asian features. So this wasn't a group of white and Asian kids, it was actually Asian and part-Asian. Their mom was clearly white, but apparently the husband in that family was Asian, and they were friends with the other (fully-Asian) family on that basis. It was an eye-opening moment and I thought to myself, "There are no surprises!" There really are strong social divides in America by race, i.e. whites vs. any kind of diversity. Fully-white kids indeed wouldn't have been socializing with Asian ones in this country.

People in marketing do "campaigns." Look at the Korean puke music wave now. It's the same phenomenon
The thing is they all sang in English.
“Bailamos” “Livin La Vida Loca”
Lyrics were mostly in English though.
Atleast those musicians were better, I mean I do like Santana and find Shakira to be a guilty pleasure. Bad Bunny is genuinely just horrible.
Glenn Beck nailed it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DH666LqmoqQ

Thought provoking
I thank God every single day that I have understood every word Nickleback ever sang. This is an important issue!

A los secuaces del GOP en la isla les encanta pintarse la cara de negro.
Estoy un poco parcial, mi música negra favorita es la cumbia lol
