  • To be honest, all that just seems like an incident blown out of proportion

    As I see it, someone else is referring to this dude as papi, which is basically daddy but in Spanish, and then added a hashtag on Instagram that says “boricua”, which might as well be related to food as the guy is apparently a chef?

    It never says he is cosplaying as a Puerto Rican. At least in the picture they post, nor it looks like it’s the intention.

    Then there is a lot of people saying something about brown face or black face? What, can’t people be tanned? Or somehow do they think everyone from LATAM is brown or black?



  • How is that being dressed as a Puerto Rican?

    You’d go to Venezuela or Colombia and see people dressed the same as well

    Hell even Ecuador or Peru I think

    Baseball is very popular in Latin and central America, is not unheard of that someone is fan of a baseball team from another country

    I don’t see how being dressed with something resembling merchandise of a baseball team means you are Puerto Rican or dressed like one

    And to go further, I believe it is EXTREMELY racist to think so.

    Everything means dick in Spanish if you try hard enough

    It applies to everything btw.

    To date, “the thing from the thingy” is the most sought spare part in all of Latin America.

    You don’t know what it is, no one knows, but it means nothing and everything at the same time.

    Our hardware store dependents are fluent in trillion of languages at this point

    Literally no Latin American is going to be bothered Or annoyed in any way whatsoever if you don typical dresses of their culture.

    We love our culture and love it even more when we influence gringos to dress as our ancestors did.

    The joy is palpable. It makes you part of the family. And that’s plenty

    Besides, no one here knows what the deal is with getting offended on behalf of someone else. If anyone has a problem, they speak up their minds.

    Slurs? Motherfückêr, that’s half our language.
