In hot climates you try to do outdoor labour in the morning and evening, with a long break in the middle of the day(la siesta). In cold climates you try to work straight through with a short lunchbreak.

My understanding is that he's extremely popular among Latinas of varying classes, but often not the menfolk. We have examples of that in American pop music(Taylor Swift being perhaps the most prominent), so it's not an unusual phenomenon.

They are not 'largely living in their homeland' as an ethnic group, and this isn't uncommon for ethnic groups native to the poorer parts of American territory.

Texas actually has higher support for independence than Puerto Rico, and has for quite some time(since the Obama admin, I believe). And the population difference is mostly due to people moving to Texas and away from Puerto Rico.
In any case Bad Bunny flying the Puerto Rican flag doesn't seem like a problem, although his variety of genuinely foreign flags are.

My gen x parents are grandparents. Of little kids, but still.

No they’re not, Puerto Rico has consistently seen crazy-high levels of migration to the mainland.

No? The boomers are dying off so overall numbers are shrinking, though.

Red wall; socialism in one country, with food this time.

When were they culturally relevant?
I mean it might be different if you live in Canada. But I can't remember anyone caring very much about the winter olympics. Summer, yeah.

Snow and Ice aren't omnipresent in winter because people moved south. Houston never had a snowy winter, there's just more people living there now.

I didn't watch the halftime show, and nobody I know paid attention to it. Just countersignaling the idea that there's no seasonality in sugar farming.

But most of those are FtMs who don’t, on average, seem to want to be male as much as they want to be ‘not women’.

Eh, having subtropical/tropical farmers in the family rather recently, theres definitely defined growing seasons and fallow fields. It’s just dictated by rainfall more than temperature. Sugar, rice, sweet potatoes and cotton grow at defined times of year and there’s still a busy and a slow season.

Yeah, but nobody ever remembers the halftime show. It doesn’t matter.

Mexico is better split as north(wealthy, white, supercatholic, weak central control) and central/south(more mixed/indigenous, syncretic, much poorer, under govt control).

There’s plenty of Chechen music on YouTube. It’s not the best stuff.

Isn’t part of the point of the hypothetical that it makes you rich and not just 6’2?

forming friendships with women in the bar restroom?
Not an expert but that sounds a bit odd and off putting, and it seems like women gossip with their pre-existing friends in the bathroom, not strike up conversations with strangers.

Little people are so random and cheerful most of the time that it is easy to forget that they do throw tantrums, usually for predictable yet necessary reasons. Being around kids a lot makes it kinda wash out but occasional babysitting doesn’t do that.

Somalis may not be running with rednecks very often, but they aren't running with the normal blue tribe locals either- they're probably exposed to antivaxxers because that's in the water, and it's kind of unpredictable what they choose to go with, because this is a fairly inward-looking community.

IIRC Trump ran a specific outreach to the anabaptists on the basis that democrats would take away their customarily higher-than-usual levels of religious freedom, and this was successful in increasing his voter rolls.

Notably, the people who spend $100 annually on sportsbetting are statistically likely to not use betting apps, they have a fantasy league with their friends where a commissioner divides up cash, they participate in their workplace march madness bracket, etc. They're probably not a moneymaker for the apps because if you start charging them money they just go back to doing that.

Texas Germans are incredibly bureaucratic and conformist, they just vote republican. The Texas hill country is a Norman Rockwall painting with the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Social conservatism at the level of 'women go to school but need to treat marriage as more important than career' does seem to mildly boost fertility relative to comparable countries, though- Italy and Japan have low TFR overall, but high for their regions.
