Don’t know enough about Spanish but isn’t the “masculine” suffix for words also a gender neutral one? When you include all genders it simply uses the male term
yes
Some of yall need to take a class or two
perfect example of people just using Latinx to reinforce their moral superiority instead of it affecting any concrete change^

Bro I've tried explaining it to you and you're not understanding my point. I'm not your teacher
Definitely agree with the performative part of it, but the Hispanic community has a horrible track record when it comes to racism and homophobia. I'm in favor of anything that aims to make that relationship better.
i just dont see how a cosmetic language change that is wielded as a class signifier by the cosmopolitan upper class against the great unwashed will reduce racism and homophobia amongst hispanics
clearly if they don't like it a new tactic is probably required
If you think about it. Wouldn’t every Spanish speaker start saying Americanx, Francesx, europex etc. ?
This whole discussion is stupid and pointless because "latino" already has an English translation: LATIN!!!
Latino is just "latin" in spanish!!!
when referring to the latin population, you say latinos. but as of late white people who are unaware of our culture think that the word "latino" is masculine and noninclusive so they think "latinx" is the right way of saying/spelling it. dumb white people trying to advocate for s*** that they're not even a part of
thank you for shedding light on this
When the oldest Latino civil rights movement in USA requests people stop using “Latinx” you know that -x suffix needs to f*** off
obviously
white people dont speak nor understand the spanish language
thats that colonizer blood
spain..........
Don’t care if you do or don’t use it
It ain’t that serious, some people act like they being insulted or something when someone uses it
obviously
white people dont speak nor understand the spanish language
thats that colonizer blood
i mean ppl in latin america literally speak spanish bc of european colonialism tho lmao
Yea its a pretty white thing
Its pretty weird and unnatural to say in normal real life conversations, it makes more sense online

Not surprising a 63 year old said don't use it

It's literally

Followed by
De Donde Eres?
Such a useless word created and used by performative activists who just wanna make it look like theyre doing something
We Chicano, not Hispanic or latinx, keep that s***

The polls show that only 2% of Latinos use “Latinx” unironically, and majority of us dislike the word. That has to tell you something.
