Despacito and Alleged Racism

Featured Posts

I can't with some of y'all accusing others of being racist just because they don't like the song.

People don't hate/dislike the song just because most of the lyrics are in Spanish. They do because they think it's generic and basic.

I mean like the remix (haven't heard the original); its catchy and a bop but it's nothing special or new. And it really doesn't deserve to break Mariah Legendrey's record. :reductive:

Just look at the K-Pop thread on here how big and popular it is. Majority of those fans and participants are not Korean nor understand Korean but still love the music. So the language barrier is not a problem for a lot of people when it comes to music.

Despacito receives criticism on here because of the song structure, not its cultural background and language. Point Blank!!!

I'm just sick of hearing it. Like most number one songs these days, it's overplayed.

I love Spanish music but I don't like the Reggaeton because all the songs sounds the same and at some point you are tired of it and you want to hear something new.

Most of the 90s kids here grew up with Macarena, with Ricky Martin, Shakira and many other summer Spanish songs and we all danced and loved them because they were original, fun and not generic and basic.

So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy

The song is basic, bad, and overplayed, everybody is just sick of it. There's nothing racial about it.
