I saw the episode when it first ran on TV. I'm Puertorican, and watched the episode when I was residing in the island. I never felted offended by the episode. I actually found it very funny and did not though anything about it. When I heard about the protests a few days after the episode aired, I really did not understood why people were that upset. Honestly, I think the people that got upset, either they took it out of context, solely watch the scene when Kramer was trying to put out the fire or did not watched it at all. They probably made their opinion solely in the fact that the flag was burned.
It's not that Kramer set the flag on fire it was that he kept saying "It's like this all the time in Puerto Rico" when Puerto Rican Americans started a riot, being violent, and destroying Jerry's car. On top of that Seinfeld is a show about White people. People of color are not in the main cast and when the characters date a person of color like the that Asian woman it was just because of fetish.
I've never really thought about it before, but because of how they viewed this, Puerto Ricans are really stupid.
@leobolduc fuck you guy I hope a Puerto Rican catches you soon to whoop your bitch ass pussy
