    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

    Those are both common academic criticisms of it tho

    EDIT: for clarity the latter criticism is more about it being a US term not common in Latin America rather than specifically a white thing

    "woke" culture is the worst f***in thing to ever happen

  • It's only used by over-educated under-intelligent clowns that have somehow conflated human gender with grammatical gender, possibly on purpose to signal how progressive they are

    You guys are projecting your hatred of white people in this thread.

    It's simply a gender neutral spelling on Latina/latino.

    The term latinx was first coined by a Puerto Rican professor.

    Lol racists

    Now nigga I know you didn’t just try to be woke and pull the racism against whites card in one fell swoop

    Sounds like tampons for mexicans

  • Sep 7, 2020

    Idk why people don’t just say latin...

    I’m hispanic and the term latinx sounds more offensive if anything
