Imo that's why Bad Bunny's show was great. He never addressed politics directly. He just made his culture look fun.
So now every time someone tries to rope in politics, you can just look at it on it's face and see a good show that makes you happy if you're open minded. So everyone who criticizes it has to work really hard to make it sound bad.
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.
