These are just the type of kids that never shared their toys growing up.

The super bowl is the most American thing out there. Hispanics are a big part of America. Let's have a Hispanic focused half time show! Thats never happened before it'll be cool!

"NO ITS MY WHITE HALF TIME SHOW AND IT NEEDS TO BE WHITE FOR ME"

Actual toddler tantrum behavior.

Meanwhile lady gaga was there. And she was singing in english.

Yea but she's Italian so she's not white, but hey atleast she's not Irish.

/s

It's so stupid and subjective what's white anyways. Like buddy comes from Spain and people consider them white but oh noes they come from somewhere south of the US or in the case or PR in the US and suddenly not white. Jokes on them were all descendants of rapist colonizers 😂

Noooo, Spain isn't considered white to some racists. I'm not sure why that consistently comes up. You're "white" or "one of the good ones" until you're not to racists. They're bullies against others and it's kind of random. If an ICE guy pulls a person from Spain over and they're speaking Spanish, they're going in. Racism is stupid af and can't be predicted. No one is safe.

My grandpa was 100% Spaniard, pale skin and blue eyes.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

And? I've seen black people with pale skin and light eyes.

Have you ever seen a wall painted white, and told everyone it's black? Yeah you probably have.

Wait hold up!

Was bad bunny trolling with his very much white suit?

How do you guys interpret the white clothes he was wearing?

For example, do they represent indigenous people's clothes since most common clothes back then were white or at least colorless? I have a photo of two of my great great grand parents and they were wearing white long pants or shorts.

Or is he saying that there's a brown person inside white people too?

Or that some of us try to be whiter by our clothing?

There's a turn of phrase in Spanish. "Vestir de blanco" or "To dress all in white." Basically, it means "putting on your Sunday best". The outfit itself was a nod to Puerto Rican sugarcane farmers.

Alright, I imagined it wasn't just something he picked for fun.

[–] TheSeveralJourneysOfReemus@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

These guys are having more fun that these antiwoke fuckers. I have yet to see an anti woke influencer expressing genuine joy.

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Yeah after seeing pam bondi yesterday i think white people need to be erased way more now. time to just admit white people have royally fucked up. Time for a change.

Suicide pact?

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 195 points 1 week ago (4 children)

There are at least 3 white people here. This fuckhead just doesn't see it because they're dressed differently then they think white people dress.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 143 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I was gonna say some of these people look pretty white to me. But then we're getting into the arbitrary question of who counts as white which is probably way beyond her understanding.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 92 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Part of being “white” is getting to decide who is “white.” This is only possible because “white” is a completely made up category. We shouldn’t even engage with the term.

Aren't most of those people white?

[–] assembly@lemmy.world 57 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Yes, but I imagine the original poster was thinking Aryan white.

Anglo-Saxons quite literally erased the locals when they came to America, this is just a musical performance with some of their descendants. 🙄

I'm telling you, if they had anything more than their physical features as common ground, anything with depth as a shared ideology, and even the most rudimentary of moral frameworks, they wouldn't be this way.
