I really don’t know what level this post is on, but people really need to stop thinking of Latinos as a monolithic group. Like, I get that those of us who grew up around racist white people realize that the Stephen Milliers of the world don’t distinguish between Latin people from different countries, but they clearly don’t think of themselves in the same terms.

Also, as I tried to explain at the time of the controversy, there just aren’t that many PR voters. Definitely not many who were changing their vote 2 weeks before the election based off one joke.
To be honest the idea Puerto Ricans were too dumb to understand that Donald was bad for them until the shitty comic made that joke is more offensive than the joke itself.
Never heard that before and honestly it doesn’t make any sense since PR is an island. Maybe you are thinking of DR and Haiti?
Or maybe people are different and embrace different identities and cultures at different times and in different contexts. An English guy might dislike “the Irish” or “the Polish” or “the Germans” even if they are all “white.” Japanese, Chinese, and Korean people can have very strong negative opinions about the other groups even if they are sometimes referred to as “Asian.” Similarly someone from Mexico might share some commonalities with someone from Colombia or Puerto Rico, there is also a ton of potential dividing lines.

That stuff is common among regional neighbors. Puerto Rico is an island.
I live in Michigan and want to deport the entire state of Ohio except for the Haitian immigrants. They’re cool.

There’s beef between several of the Caribbean islands for whatever reason.
Japan is an island to China and Korea. The UK is an island to France. Australia and New Zealand are islands to each other. All have regional rivalries and stereotypes about each other…
Also, if we’re talking about within the US, animosities can develop when one group of “white” moves into a neighborhood with other “white” folks. Even assuming that people in Ireland were cool with folks from Italy when they lived in their own countries, when immigrants from those places first got thrown together in Manhattan they started beefing Gangs of New York style.
What, you mean the sex with sheep stuff? Listen, truth is a defence.
I am unfamiliar with this one. Which ones are the sheep fuckers? Aus or NZ?
NZ has more sheep than humans
So does Australia, right?
Weirdly enough I met a couple of Kiwis at a party last week and they were in Aus doing seasonal work as … sheep farmers

As far as I’m aware, the NZ stereotype of Australians is that we’re ill-mannered and lazy, which, guilty as charged.
Speaking of Rogan…

Kamala Harris’s fears of a progressive backlash killed a plan for her to appear on Joe Rogan’s podcast, a campaign official has said, shedding light on a decision that infuriated some Democrats who are reeling after Donald Trump’s election victory.
The Harris campaign and Rogan, whose audience is bigger than that of many television networks, had discussed an interview for his podcast — a move some Democrats hoped would help Harris reach young men who were gravitating towards Trump.
The talks faltered because of concerns at how the interview would be perceived within the Democratic party, said Jennifer Palmieri, a senior adviser to Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff. “There was a backlash with some of our progressive staff that didn’t want her to be on it, and how there would be a backlash,” Palmieri said on Wednesday.
As I said earlier, I don’t think going on Rogan at that late hour would have helped. But this sort of thinking has got to go.

The candidate who ran on tougher border laws and campaigned with the Cheney’s was very worried about progressive backlash.

Republicans with complete control of everything without passing any legislation besides tax cuts in the last 20 years.
I mean, that’s what the People want right? Tax cuts and less government. It shouldn’t be surprising that the GOP wins elections.
