+5 Yes, Puerto Rico is widely considered a colony—or often described as the world's oldest colony—due to its status as an unincorporated U.S. territory. While residents are U.S. citizens, they lack voting representation in Congress, cannot vote for president,
Quick correction. Puerto Rico, not Puerto Ricans, is politically limited. Any American citizen that chooses to reside in Puerto Rico loses their right to vote (looking at you Paul brothers). Any Puerto Rican that choses to reside in any of the 50 states has the same right to vote as anyone else.
I’m Native American and some whites don’t think I’m American.
Where you getting that 73% from?
the orange pedo clearly did not know Puerto Rico was a US territory during his first term… he also did not know it was an island
and this level of brilliance was rewarded with a second term by muricans… so yes, I tend to believe every stat that claims they are mostly ignorants
Wow, guys. I'm Mexican and not a fan of Bad Bunny at all, but you seem really out of the loop with this guy.
He is a Puerto Rican, and in that sense he is an American citizen, but Bad Bunny is a sovereignist that would very much prefer to be free from the USA. The song Ricky Martin sang during the SB halftime show is just beautiful (listen to the Tiny desk version!). The name of the song is "Lo que le pasó a Hawaii" (What happened to Hawaii) and the lyrics talk about a strong, deep feeling of belonging to the Puerto Rico island. He talks a lot about the simple life in there and some of their traditions. In the end, the song calls Puerto Ricans to hold their flag and don't allow "them" to do to Puerto Rico what happened to Hawaii.
I was in awe to listen to at least some of these lines in the middle of the Super Bowl. Honestly, don't even try to ask me about the rest of the show.
Canada will give them a home. Lord knows we need a friendly southern escape.
I'll do you one better: I didn't even know who Bad Bunny was prior to this news cycle. Not my genre of music.
But I do remember the last time Puerto Rico was hit by a hurricane, and Trump didn't do shit to help. Because he's a vile piece of shit that would rather fuck kids, his daughter, and this country rather than help anyone.
I have almost no idea who that Bad Bunny person is but I do know that fascists/republicans hate him so he must be pretty cool.
Made up statistic aside, why is not knowing the nationality of a celebrity... bad? I don't even know his real name, this seems like a stretch to make it into american chauvinism rather than people just not knowing about a celebrity. Is that the joke?
So it's kinda No Taxation Without Representation situation? Or does that only apply to white people?
71% of Americans have no idea that Puerto Ricans are American citizens.
Included in that 29% are all the people who are Puerto Ricans
I made these numbers up, but they're likely not that far off.
Wait, so why is that part of mexico american, I am confused? /s

In a proper world, this would discredit her from being a pundit.
So bad bunny isn't a chick? Feeling out of the loop
