Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
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
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.
It's more based on fear, since the US Latin population seem to be maintaining a healthy birth rate, while the white people seem to have either lost wood, can't find the right hole, or have 'nads packed with PFAS. In some US states, whites are already a minority, and the various schemes to impose minority rule are unstable and require increasing effort as demographics keep on shifting.
Fear of what, then?
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
They don't do that anymore. Not since January 21st 2025.
Oooooh that explains a lot thanks
~~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.
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.
