Tony Hinchcliffe Called Puerto Rico a 'Floating Island of Garbage': His Hate Disguised as Comedy Wasn't Funny or a Joke
(Variety) Growing up as a Puerto Rican and Black American, I was aware early on that I stood out among many of my classmates and neighbors. Ive learned to take pride in my roots, believing that America was a place where everyone, despite their differences, belonged. But that notion has shifted sharply as I grew older and witnessed the rise of Trump and the MAGA movement, which cast people who look like me as the villains in a story wed never written. This shift has forced me, and countless other Latinos, to confront a painful reality: in todays America, weve become the scapegoats in a narrative of fear, blamed and vilified to suit a political agenda.
