Do you like LatinX?
Vote
League of United Latin American Citizens, oldest Latin civil rights organization dropping LatinX from all communications: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/latino-civil-rights-organization-drops-latinx-official-communication-rcna8203 This comes days after polling showing most Latin/Hispanics dont prefer it, as many as 40% hate it: https://www.politico.com/news/2021/12/06/hispanic-voters-latinx-term-523776 This is backwards. Its a more inclusive term, we need to be pushing it further, not giving in to the bigoted masses with their gender-privilege. In time they will learn to like it or stay quiet & keep their bigotry to themselves. --- Sig User Logic http://i.imgur.com/lA5fm7w.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think it's fine. Saying "latino and latina" is a mouthful. It's also why I say "Happy Holidays" because "merry christmas and happy new year" is too long, nevermind for all the random minority stuff the person possibly is but probably is not celebrating. --- Remember that I won't rest, 'til we share the same tense Just know, to me, you're better late than never again. ...

I still don't understand why the push isn't just for the term Latin to be used in place of Latino and Latina. Seems like an infinitely more logical jump than randomly adding an x to the end of it. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Spanish speaking LGBT individuals use Latine as has been mentioned in every topic and people continue to ignore this and fight over a meaningless thing that has already been solved. Latine is gender neutral, Spanish speakers use it, Latinx is a meaningless American cultural footnote that contributes nothing useful and encourages pointless debate. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss ...

I haven't looked into it much. But the evidence that came to me is that it's just white people power trippin and trying to force a term we didn't agree to on us under the guise of doing it for us lol. But, I also don't really care enough that I'm gonna get angry about it. There's probably some people out there that ride for it. There always is. But I'm not gonna just adapt it cause white people told me it's what I should be called now lol.

Latino scholars created the word tho And that guy is the monolith for everyone now, cause white people don't understand just cause one person in a race says something it doesn't mean all of them agree and think the same. Come on, you on how this goes. If one Latin person says we want to be called Blurbles now, is that just it? We're all blurbles from there on? >_>. The community has rejected it. If they accept it, I will. Cause I don't care in the end.
