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

My favorite is habanero


there's no ñ, just n, but some will make a show of pronouncing it with the incorrect ñ sound.

I like when people spell it "que".

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 79 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

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

[–] bilb@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The worst bunny I've ever seen!

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

It's actually impressive how insanely wrong they are.

You know what 'citizen' means now though.

[–] pachrist@lemmy.world 121 points 1 week ago (6 children)

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 71 points 1 week 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.

[–] Default_Defect@anarchist.nexus 23 points 1 week ago

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

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 week ago

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.

Rhianna is from Barbados? Huh, TIL.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week 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.

Sometimes, the stupid, it burns.

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 39 points 1 week ago

Thank you for your attention on this matter

Trump should shoot him tbh

He would be following Hitler in doing the only good thing either one of them ever did.

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"?

[–] blah3166@piefed.social 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Nature has a way of warning others, just look for a red hat or American flag

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

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 12 points 1 week 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.

"Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny appearing in the Superbowl"

Honestly, "Puerto Rican" is the most appealing part of that sentence for me XD

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 week ago (1 children)

She is Colombian and half Lebanese, too.

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

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

(Sorry. Bad dad joke.)

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

Why are racists so dumb?
