You don't know shit about Charlie, dullard.
And no, only America-hating leftists think "All-American" is racist.

No performers have been announced yet. You fell for a fake announcement.

"The term "all-American" has a colloquial usage that is widely considered to function as a racial dog whistle, as it often implies a narrow, white, and conventionally middle-class ideal of American identity.

What the term means

The dictionary definition of "all-American" is generally neutral, referring to something composed entirely of Americans, selected as the best in US sports, or having typical qualities that are valued by mainstream Americans. It has a long history of use in sports and popular culture, like the "Jack Armstrong, the All-American Boy" radio series (1933-1951), which helped popularize its use to describe a stereotypically wholesome individual.

How it functions as a dog whistle

The term becomes a dog whistle through its common cultural association and usage:

Implied Whiteness: Critics point out that when someone is described as "all-American," the implicit mental image for many people is a white person. People of color are rarely referred to by this descriptor in the same way, suggesting that in popular perception, "Americanness" is often synonymized with "whiteness".

Exclusionary Ideal: This narrow, euro-centric perception excludes millions of non-white citizens from the "mass narrative about Americanness," despite their birthright or contributions to the country.

Coded Language: In political contexts, dog whistles use race-neutral language to trigger specific racial associations and appeal to white anxieties or resentments without being explicitly racist. The "all-American" label, by defining a "prototypical" American as white, promotes the idea that white Americans are the "real" or superior Americans.

Political Context: The term has been used in recent political or commercial contexts that have drawn accusations of blatant racism or promoting white nationalism and eugenics, further cementing its perception as a coded term for some. For example, a recent American Eagle ad campaign featuring a white actress and using a "good genes/jeans" pun was criticized as a dog whistle for eugenics."

Once when I was driving across north Texas I noticed several motels in small towns that advertised themselves as "American owned". Everybody knew what that mean't. Which is why I never stayed at them and sought out motels that were owned my middle eastern/Indian immigrants.

See, you have to backpedal to something different, because you can't find actual examples of your bullshit leftist demonizing.

No dipshit. It's a personally witnessed example of "American" being used as a racist codeword or dogwhistle for "white".

As usual, you're such a dullard that you miss the simple fact that not all uses of "American" are the same as your little cherry-picked example.
You're obviously stereotyping TPUSA as "several small town motels in north Texas" to demonize them. Fucking moron.

You're the idiot that denied "American" is a codeword for "white". I've proven it is and in the context of MAGA's hatred of all things Latino, it matches exactly its use as the name of TPUSA's alternative halftime show. "All-American" means "all white"..Just like Jesus was. lol

You've proven nothing but your dumbass leftist conspiracy theory, dipshit. But your Dunning-Kruger means you lack the intelligence to even apprehend your own ignorance.
