Superbowl halftime - scantily dressed women and very covered up men

As a Latina I was not offended.

Teach them to take their clothes off and pole dance and shake their bodies and simulate sex for men's enjoyment. We don't look to strip clubs as our model for female empowerment.

As someone said we don't teach boys to take off their clothes and use their bodies for women's enjoyment.

I dunno. I loved the show. My 8yo daughter watched it—she’s a gymnast who can shimmy to the top of a rope, so she had some idea how physically difficult it is to do what JLo did.

I truly think this thread reflects some WW pearl clutching at JLo’s performance. I think they are disturbed by a curvy non-white woman gyrating, tbh. I thought overall it was great. And great that my brown daughter 1st gen daughter could see this performance by Latinas as representative of the future America, a multicultural America.

I found the show racist. They put two women of color on stage and had them dance like strippers. Would they have white women dancing like that? Lady Gaga didn’t dance like that. The sad truth is that they had to wear less clothing and dance like that because they are minorities. And people are more accepting of it because they are minorities.

Sad but hilarious you think it’s a good thing your first grader watched two minorities disrespect themselves on national tv for white producers.

Stop using the word racist. You have no idea what it means.

Same here, I'm 44 y/o and they look amazing, especially after kids. JLo's body is fabulous. She can't sing and Shakira's only good song is La Tortura and that's all A. Sanz, so I didn't have high expectations. Nothing compares to Prince's performance, which was live.

You need to give her music another listen. She is great (albeit quirky) live. I love Shakira's music!

It was absolutely perfect for a Vegas installation. Family entertainment...no.

Every single Latina on my social media thought it was awesome. Anecdotal, sure, but this is some puritanical white woman pearl clutching.

The message of the half-time show is that through love, compassion, singing, and scantily clad gyrating we can free the children from cages.

Naked ladies and kids in cages. Appealing to MAGA trash.

Isn’t that Elizabeth Warren’s platform? Something with a Navy SEAL too?

My 13YO left the room too! He was like, uh, mom, thats just not OK ... and walked out.

Is JLo’s hair real or fake?

As a Latina the pp is not racist. You don’t speak for Latinas or even know what might or might not offend us. I’d just say your some weird troll who has too much wine for the night,
