‘Exploiting Latinos.’ Pitbull jokes about Obama’s amnesty order at the #AMAs, but ABC
‘Exploiting Latinos.’ Pitbull jokes about Obama’s amnesty order at the #AMAs, but ABC didn’t show the Favorite Latin Artist award?
Posted at 11:32 pm on November 23, 2014 by Twitchy StaffCan Pitbull NOT be the voice of immigration reform? Thank you.Pitbull, host of this year’s American Music Awards, is making a little news on Twitter tonight for a rather lame joke about President Obama’s executive amnesty immigration order:

I can only assume the scheduled host of the AMAs overdosed, and they were forced to use a valet parking attendant named Pitbull

Pitbull, neither yourself nor Obama know about correct immigration polices. #stopCome on #AMAs2014 . Really w/the politically tinged immigration themed opening act by @pitbull? Not necessary. Can we just enjoy the music?
— Tara Setmayer (@TaraSetmayer) November 24, 2014The last person I would listen to about immigration issues is Pitbull #AMAs#MrWorldWide

That clap got lighter when Pitbull mentioned Obama's executive order on immigration. #AMAsHere’s the actual “joke” via The Hollywood Reporter:

“You guys already know I’m Cuban, but you know America, not all Latinos are Mexican — maybe we are,” to a roaring applause, he looked around and noticed that among the audience are those who are “black, white, pink, purple, orange, Asian, Latinos — and guess what? President Obama said, we can all stay!”But does ABC really care about Latin viewers as much as Pitbull says they do?
And he also mentioned, “ABC found out last year that when I spoke just three Spanish words, ratings went up 142 percent, so get ready for three hours of just subtitles!” After greeting the audience with a few Spanish phrases, he laughed, “That’s another four million viewers!
Glamour magazine notices something a little odd about the AMA telecast:
Kind of odd that Pitbull keeps talking about the #AMAs' Latin audience, but they didn't air the Favorite Latin Artist award, right?
— Glamour (@glamourmag) November 24, 2014ABC and Pittbull get wet exploiting Latinos, but Enrique only gets a shout out for Favorite Latin Artist. What?! #AMAsBurn!
— Daniel Casillas (@Leinadnahte) November 24, 2014Latin Artist award aint getting no love on your tv screen apparently. #AMAsWell, it looks like Enrique Iglesias was performing in Dublin, which would explain his absence from the telecast:
