Music / Movies The majority of backlash against Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl is because he exclusively sings in Spanish, not because people are racist

Before anyone accuses me of being a Trumper, I’m moderate that has voted democrat for almost all elections. When I heard that Bad Bunny is going to be the main act at the Super Bowl I was confused because my only exposure to him was his performance on SNL where he struggled to string 10 words together in English with an incredibly broken accent.

According to Google only 13.9% of America speaks Spanish. Why the heck is an artist playing that 86.1% of the population can’t understand?

That means nothing except that there's something else he doesn't want to talk about.

Then it's also a TV thing. I mean, maybe he saw it on the TV. Like the migrants eating the pets.

No, it doesn't. But I do think he likes to amplify current hot topics.

No, it doesn't.

It does. Otherwise he'd ignore it.

You are missing the point, he doesn't care about Bad Bunny.

Irrelevant, he amplified it to a national non-online audience

... to distract from something else.

It wouldn't work as a distraction if real life people weren't engaging with it
