The version of whiteness I was formed in leaned heavily toward control — preserving comfort, maintaining hierarchy, and calling it tradition. That instinct shows up loudly in white Christian nationalism, which isn’t just about religion or patriotism. It’s about guarding a cultural center where whiteness and conservative Christianity are treated as default. Bad Bunny and what he represents are a threat to white Christian nationalism because he is an American who embodies none of what it insists you must in order to be a “true” citizen.
