Bad Bunny's halftime show at the Superbowl ended with him listing all the nations of America (South to North order).

I mean last I checked America was racist as fuck and glorified a felon rapist pedophile by making him their leader.

The United States is just a nation of America. America is two whole continents of peoples. That is the whole point the end of the performance was making. USians aren't the only "Americans".

The implication in his performance is that America, as in the U.S., is a conglomerate of peoples from many places, and doesn't belong to a specific race.

Good message. I agree.

I'm simply pointing out that, right now, based on America's voting habits, the reality is that it's an incredibly racist nation that glorifies felon rapist pedophiles. That is a fact.

The dude didn't stand in the U.S., during the U.S.'s most popular sporting event, and say "this is America" like it's a geography lesson to make sure everyone knows America is two continents. He clearly meant "THIS" as in "the United States". As in "hey look, the U.S. is a mix of races and that's what makes it strong".

Again. I agree. Unfortunately, the majority of voting Americans (United Statesians?) in 2024 did not. Factually.

I haven't watched it, but based on comments here, didn't they mention countries from América? In Spanish that includes everything from Argentina and Chile all the way up to Canada. So the context of it being América rather than the US would be very transparent from my perspective.
