He's their Delgado Jesus
He was never going anyone happy w/ his path in life if he just stayed in California not singing mexican music. He found a path to do it, yes, he did it for his survival as an artist to express himself the way he wanted to express himself. That means he wanted to be adored by Mexican audience that just so happened to be women. Where is the harm in this that he wants to live life like this? He's marketing himself and catering to what he loves..
This world is exploiting, he exploited it back because he saw his value as an entertainer. Now if they make him dance w/ watermelon and eat chicken on stage, that obviously should be shut down. But for now, he's singing Mexican traditional music and getting love for it. It could be worse, he could be in Afghanistan singing on the frontlines hoping he doesn't get shot by the enemy. Yea, I think he made the right choice if he's happy.
whose in your avi?

There are black natives of mexico... he is not one of them.
If a white person came up to me saying that their heart was in Nigeria and they were trying to do everything to become a Nigerian, I would say that they were appropriating my culture. Nigerian is not a race, but we do have several distinct cultures. They weren't born here, they have no roots here, they just saw something they liked and wanted to become it.
I'm not going to lose sleep over this, but its still cultural appropriation, no matter how you look at it.
Nigeria is not a race. If a white person grew up in nigeria more than likely they will pick up the accenr, eat the food and so on. If a white person said they are of the yourba tribe then we are talking a different discussion.
You all are going on the angle of blacks cant be mexicans which is not factual.
Nobody is saying this dude is right, Im saying make valid arguments. The issue is an American approtiating into a random culture , you guys are arguing black people cant be of mexican culture which is false.

It's an interesting question. He seems sincere in his love of the genre and culture. Does not seem to be condescending in any way as far as I can tell.I'm conflicted. I wanna say yes because it is.
Dapped.
No point in even debating with them, they are making excuses that the man himself didn't even make.
This is cultural appropriation, period.
I just joined in this page so I assume the bolded isn't directed at me.
I never said blacks cant be Mexicans, I said this breh isn't Mexican. He was not born there, he has no ties there.
And what he's doing is cultural appropiation because he is not mexican
Hitler dreamed of a jew free world....he had to do things to follow his dream....
(i mean it's a bad example...but )
a white man GROWING UP in nigeria and adopting the culture is integration. You integrate into places and adopt their culture
this man grew up in Compton nikka!! This was a choice!!
You mean assimilation.
Once again you dont know what you are arguing. This entire thread I said its weird for an American who never grew up in Mexico to want to be mexican, i also included the side note that this isnt c00ning because he acknowledges he is african american ON TOP of their being blacks in mexico who are native. This dude is a lame, but unless he said I hate myself and all blacks he isnt a c00n.
So once again, what are tou even arguing?
