What is “immigrant culture“ and why is it defined as Latinx and not any of the other times white descendants of immigrants performed? Puerto Rico is essentially an occupied territory of the US empire where residents are still treated like 2nd class citizens.

Not to mention: J Lopez was born in the US to Puerto Rican American parents (technically not immigrants since PR is part of the US) Shakira is a Columbian citizen (not a US immigrant) "immigrant culture" is not a monolith and it is not all Latinx.

Shakira is colombiana tho, and J Lo's music crosses over to "latin pop" all over the world. that's the immigrant culture that immigrants dance to in the club. you're stretching. But I agree that Puerto Rico needs independence or statehood, not this colony bs,

I don’t know if blasting a person like *Dan Rather* for a comment like this is the best strategy right now.

He later apologized, but in his defense, they symbolically showed immigrant children in cages during the performance, so “immigrant culture” seems like a fair term

Because white immigrant culture(s) were systemically exterminated by social stigma and replaced with an anodyne culture of imperialism and 'whiteness'. Using English and being 'white' isn't enough to fill a halftime show. Though imperialism does always have its place in the NFL..

In other words, what he really meant is culture full stop, as white people in the colonial nations basically don't have one.

Thank you for this. My Puerto Rican in-laws are more American than I am.
