    Not to totally detract from the point of what you’re saying, which is totally correct, but… All of everything seems to keep stepping over that it’s not just influential on American music, but it is American music. That they keep framing parts of our culture as somehow not shows that it’s just racism.

    Puerto Rico has been part of the US longer than Oklahoma, new Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, or Hawaii. Puerto Rican culture is more American than whatever weird nonsense they have in Oklahoma.

      Certainly, I guess I didn’t follow that all the way through. I certainly don’t remember this much flack over Gloria Estefan LMAO, and she’s CUBAN. They just really ramped up the culture war.
