Serious note how do you actually pronounce it??

never heard this until rn

Don’t speak Spanish but is it not structured in the same way as other european languages where “Latino” would also fulfill a gender neutral/ambiguous role?

Just say Latin? Why every thing need to cater to everything and be sensitive and labeled? Literally just say any of the numerous NON gender words for it.

Yeah no one is gonna say that s*** irl lol. I can't imagine these people going home and try to correct their family especially in a latino household lol. They prob get a chancla straight to the mouth.

Sounds like a computer program

I don’t see a problem.

In Spanish technically the masculine form would be the default to refer to both Latinos and latinas but that’s also kinda sexist. So latinx is fine.

See i think it’s a misreading to consider that sexist - if the word fulfills different purposes in the different contexts then in effect it’s two different words with the same spelling imo, rather than the masculine being used as the default

Not latino but i nvr seen latino niggas referring to Latinx in a positive mantra

Lol this happens All the time at my job.

I'll ask a simple question like "which one is james brown again?"

And they'll stutter and be like "umm the uhh one with the red shirt..."

Me: ..... The black guy with the red shirt or the white guy with the red shirt

Lol

What a stupidly simple thing to understand...

Doesn’t exist outside of twitter

yeah i wonder how will languages like spanish and other languages with masculine/ feminine words will make the transition into being more gender inclusive, or even if it is possible at all

That’s them coconuts 🥥

Chicano

Nobody outside of twitter use the term. It’s not that big of a deal, this the first time I’m seeing people complain about it tbh.

Dude you’re thinking of Linux LOL.

“Projecting your hatred of white people”

It’s called inclusive language. Y’all don’t know anything about it because English words don’t have “genders” like Spanish words do.

It’s been a thing in Latin America for a while, it has nothing to do with white people lol

And the X is only used online. People who use inclusive language in real life would say LatinE instead.

Lol how do you look through this whole thread and come to the conclusion that noone understand the concept of gendered language

But it is stupid

People were saying it’s awkward to pronounce and that probably white people came up with that when it’s been a thing for a while
