While watching Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show at a local bar in Dallas, Texas, a man was reportedly told to “go back to Mexico” during what has been described as a racist outburst.
The clip was shared on TikTok by user amramarceo, who goes by Ram. While at a Texas bar, he was watching Bad Bunny’s performance and clearly enjoying the moment. However, a man seated at the bar appeared angry from the start. Although much of what he initially said was inaudible, he seemed to be complaining to the bartender about the show.
The situation escalated when the man loudly declared that the show was not “American.” Ram responded by pointing out that Bad Bunny is Puerto Rican and, therefore, a U.S. citizen. The man pushed back, insisting that “there is no America in that,” referring to the halftime performance. He then directed his frustration at Ram, saying, “Go back to your own country.”
Ram and another woman laughed off the remarks and continued enjoying the performance. They even began clapping, which appeared to provoke the man further. He then escalated his comments, using a slur while claiming that Latinos were “pushing their language on our country.”
Ram continued responding to the man, noting that he could speak three languages and suggesting that the offended patron likely only spoke English. Once again, the man told him, “Go back to your own country.” “If you wanna speak Spanish, go back to Mexico,” the man continued. “Go. It’s okay, you can leave.” The exchange was eventually interrupted by a security guard, who appeared to be asking the angry man to stop. The video ended shortly afterward, and it remains unclear whether the man was allowed to stay at the Texas bar after the outburst.
The Internet Doesn’t Tolerate Racists and Prefers To Mock Them
Ram’s clip quickly went viral, earning more than 250,000 likes and nearly 3,000 comments. Several viewers also noted that the bar appeared to be Hispanic, adding an ironic layer to the situation.
“I love how much it bothers them.“
“Why do they assume everyone who speaks Spanish is Mexican?“
“That’s why it is important to learn how to speak English correctly. That way, we can defend ourselves from racists.”
Hopefully, Ram will be able to replay and fully enjoy Bad Bunny’s show, given that he was rudely interrupted by one man’s bigotry.
