Curious as to why you quoted me, lol. Are you confirming what I said? Because that's literally what your post states.

Some languages need to rethink their whole structure.

Imagine assigning gender to everything in 2021

Im looking at you french n spanish

i thought you were saying its an academic word like its the correct educated way of saying latino lol my bad

I’ve been so confused on this one honestly but glad thread cleared it up for me mostly

I live in a majority Hispanic city full of Dominicans, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Peruvians, Colombians, etc.

Never once heard that term in my life. And I never heard of any Hispanic getting upset over "Latino/a" ever.

Not sure if it's a White thing as much as it's a SJW buzz word like "mansplaining"(another term I never heard anyone use in the public.)

SJW's have good causes but they gotta understand that some of their s*** doesn't resonate with reality.

They should stop using latino and latina as well

Literally doesn’t matter let whoever say whatever they want

And use what

Isn’t part of the complaint also that the male version of the word is used for inclusivity. It’s a dumb argument regardless

posting this again because some of y’all need to read this instead of assuming/blaming white people for this s***

What is the origin of the word Latinx?

The term Latinx emerged from the Spanish-speaking queer community to challenge the gender binary, explain Aja and Scharrón-del Río. While the exact origin of the term is unclear, its use can be traced back to online queer community forums.

I know there are white spanish speaking people, but lets be real here. y’all just looking to blame white people for anything now

Nobody I know unironically says latinx

The "brown people" who are referred as hispanic/latino in the US are mestizos. Mix of white and native.

Yet all we see is white people using Latinx.

We never agreed to being referred to as Latinx, so that term can f*** right off.

i never see anyone using that term anymore. matter fact when i did, i saw it on twitter and it wasn’t white people lol. i usually saw it from those fake woke non-white twitter people who made it seem like the used to term to be gender inclusive to be respective of non-binary (and i know spanish has gendered terms, i think the word is stupid as well)

Remember this thread lol.. when life was better.. who bumped this

who invented forums?

white people

thats a slippery slope my man imagine white people start using that and start saying others are guests when they use forums

latinx isnt really used outside of "woke" discourse

it originated from the latin american queer community, but caught on in USA-based academic circles in terms of current-day popularity

i don't get the debate over it, i don't really care for it

"latine" is a better word for this purpose IMO, because it is grammatically correct

Idk what y’all on itt, but the term was started by white washed Latinos

Maybe white folk ran wit it but they ain’t start it

With that said it’s whatever, they ain’t hurting no one they doing they thing
