It's okay to dislike the halftime show
I've seen some commentary today like:
If you didn't like the halftime show you're either stupid or racist. Puerto Rico is part of America, including their culture and language (so stop complaining). It was a visual story, it doesn't matter if the words were mostly Spanish
but like ...
It's okay to complain? It's okay not to like some entertainment. It's okay if something isn't your taste.
For white Americans, football & the Super Bowl was their culture. This has changed in a lot of ways, with several superbowl halftime shows now representing different parts of American culture (featuring black artists and rap), and for (older) white Americans, this is a loss.
We (leftists & liberals) have so much capacity to acknowledge and respect and care for other people's cultures. But we have a collective blindspot when it comes to certain cultures, namely the culture that white Americans identify with.
I know there are racists who don't like it because brown person. And I know some of the frustrations will come out as racist remarks, which isn't okay. I think those parts of it should be challenged. But the actually racist stuff aside, I think we should respect that some people just don't like it, that it's not what they want from a halftime show.
I don't think we should stop doing culturally diverse halftime shows, but people should also get to complain about it if they don't like it.
