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

Why are racists so dumb?

Is it a bug, or a feature?

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

You may have cause and effect the wrong way round.

[–] Geodad@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Not of it's a feature.

Even my dumb fucking rural Australian ass knows that Puerto Rico is part of the US.

[–] mitchty@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 48 minutes ago

As a dum rural American that knows territorial citizenship is a thing (with wonky caveats not applicable to Puerto Rico) you’d be surprised how many Americans in general have zero clue pr is a part of the us. My last vaca there was fun but after I was back the amount of people that asked about passports was too dam high. And this is in a rather educated metro area.

I love the pattern on the right: "Despite X occurring plenty of times throughout the years on 'my side', this time I'm really riled up about something that's not even true!"

He loves his country so much he wants to defend it from ignorant outsiders, but isn't even aware of who has citizenship and won't explain why this didn't have any bearing on past musical performances.

Intellectual consistency isn't their strong point.

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

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago

Yeah, I learned this about that age when it was announced that our state (SD) was 51st in the nation for teacher pay after PR. That's also about the time a neighboring county had the highest suicide rate in the world. Good ol' Midwestern values.

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.

Can we figure out what to make Bad Bunny do to inflict total boomercide?

With a Palestinian flag.

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 66 points 1 day 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.

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

Taylor, make this happen

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.

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 76 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

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

It's actually impressive how insanely wrong they are.

You know what 'citizen' means now though.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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 11 points 1 day ago (5 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.

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 38 points 1 day ago

Thank you for your attention on this matter

Rhianna is from Barbados? Huh, TIL.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day 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.

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.

[–] zululove@lemmy.ml 7 points 21 hours ago

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

It's upsetting that people can be colossally stupid and factually incorrect and face no meaningful consequences. Like, who is the OP? Why are they just walking around without a warning sign that says like "This person is stupid"?

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 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

She is Colombian and half Lebanese, too.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

(Sorry. Bad dad joke.)
