Sorry, MAGA. Bad Bunny is American.

Your conservative uncle is wrong about Bad Bunny. So are Trump, all of MAGA, and the angry drunk guys who watch the NFL. They're mad because Bad Bunny will be performing the half time show at the Superbowl this Sunday, and he'll be singing in Spanish - you know, the language the songs are written in - and believe that that makes him fundamentally un-american. Unfortunately, this is not a unique experience. Puerto Rico, where Bad Bunny is from, has faced this same rejection and discrimination for years. But why? What did Puerto Rico ever do to them? Becca Ramos, host of all new podcast Welcome To El Barrio, joins Akilah to find out. You can find Becca and her new podcast at @welcometoelbarrio on Instagram or wherever you get your podcasts.
