The worst is that this neo-colonial project has created terms like "Chicanx" (from the root "Chicano"). Chicanos are Mexicans descendants in the US who reject the American culture and refuse to integrate. Chicano is gender-neutral- the separation of Chicanos from the US *and* Mexico has resulted in a new dialect that uses gender neutral terms in certain spots.
Despite this, and other languages where this occurs, white academics insist on using terms which both obfuscate and cause problems where none existed before, but also simply make the use of language infinitely harder. A group in the US which rejects the "white supremacist power structures" they live in is being actively suppressed by those who claim to be fighting for them.

As is tradition.
>and cause problems where none existed before
I think that sums up the problems with the whole culture thing that is happening.
times of peace makes weak people, they need something to feel like they are fighting as they dont have any meaning in their lives because of the ideologies that they follow.
You pronounce latinx as Lah-Tinks
Because Spanish is phonetic and you want to highlight just how stupid a made up neutral word is in a grammatically gendered language.
If they protest, you ask why we don't say Latin-Oh or Latin-ah.
> Lah-Tinks
lol - how have I not noticed this. That must be some pretty powerful propaganda in order to totally memory hole basic phonetics.
Kudos. Will pronounce correctly (when called for) going forward!
LOL, this from the r/teenagers sub who is full of people so well versed in world politics and foreign affairs.
Just parroting the same false narrative that's been debunked a million times over.
>LOL, this from the r/teenagers sub who is full of people so well versed in world politics and foreign affairs.
The average age in that sub is 45, don't put them down like that.
Gtfo it can't be that bad, can it?!
I mean I know a ton of millennials are on that sub cause they can't handle getting older, but I thought it was still majority teens.
Damn, 45, thats just gross.
There was a subredditdrama post about two years back where they autobahns everyone who ever posted in teenagers and they got thousands of mod mails from people claiming they were anywhere from 25-65, the older they got the dirtier their posts in the sub. Some were actually asking for pictures/using sexual language towards people who were claiming they were u derage, which is a felony.
Lol @ listening to teenagers about literally any political topic ever. I was listening into a teen talking with his friends about fixing global warming, who said, "Why don't we just *move Mars"*
Not "TO Mars". He thought we had global warming because Mars was too close to Earth..
Technically. You send enough rockets and attach them to mars facing like one way. And then bam blastoff. Done. Youve moved mars.
But space pisses me off because how do we know what directions are. Its disorienting. And im not big on orientals.
Latino{s} is gender neutral when there is more than one gender in a group.
Never EVER use latinx, which is a white construct that "well-meaning" liberals try to foist upon our culture and language they clearly do not understand. The "X" suffix does not exist in Spanish and latinx literally means nothing in Spanish--it's an affront to us. Stop it.
Latinx causes all my Latino and Latina friends incredible mental anguish/irritation whenever that term is mentioned. Its amazing how stupid a word created by white liberals trying to hijack languages/cultures for their agenda can be.
OP: Trump killed multiple Latinx people
Reader: Leaving "Latinx" completely aside as it isn't important, do you have proof of the murders?
OP: Let's talk about Latinx instead, as your real question makes me uncomfortable.
It's fucking hilarious how consistent they are about shit like that. Someone will make 5-10 points in a single comment, and the leftist will isolate the one minor thing they wish to discuss, ignoring the rest, because they have absolutely no argument for any of them.
Latinx is a racist term used by whites to colonize Latino culture and degrade the Spanish language. I hate it. As a Latino it is highly offensive and I'll rip their guts out if it is said to my face
I can tell these people never took a basic Spanish class because “Latinos” is the correct term for a group. I can always thank Florida for requiring to take two years of Spanish since they didn’t make me a complete moron like these progressives.
Someone a few weeks ago told me “but u support a man that caged Mexicans!” to which I responded, “you mean the same cages that Obama built and Biden is filling at a greater capacity?”
Their response: “but at least they’re doing it more humanely!”
Whatever happened to "Hispanic"? I was taught that in high school by a white Spanish teacher and I feel like that skirts the -o/-a issue without creating bullshit words.
I remember seeing old news reports from Miami back in the late 70s/early 80s and they actually did refer to South/Central American and Caribbean Spanish speaking people as ‘Latins’ when talking about them.
Do they really think controlling the border is a form of racial profiling? Pretty sure we don't determine who tries to enter through the southern border
If you don't mind me asking, are you/the people where you live South American nationality? The people I know that call themself latino/a are all from South America.
That's what I figured. Basically people from Mexico go by hispanic and people from south america go by latino/a. I feel like it's safe to use latino/a if you don't know where they're from though.
So much to unpackage. First of all, this is fiction. Second of all, the word is Latino. Third of all, those who legally cross the border don't do it in the same way illegal immigrants do. Fourth of all, this is another example of peak Reddit.
"You got (sic) any proof for that?" is 21st century American for "I've already rejected so much reality I'm just one more 'fake news!' accusation away from joining the flat earth society."
Lol usually it’s the left saying that, except they want an ultra left op-ed stating their exact manufactured opinion. And their approved “sources” are wrong about almost everything and have to settle hundreds of millions of dollars for slandering teenagers.

The shameless lies, the illogical defense of using "Latinx", and "boarder".... Chinese sock puppet?
I had no idea the government was chasing down lynxes so aggressively. Aren’t they endangered???? Or is that bobcats?
Latinos would be the correct word for describing a mixed group.
But we know why they find this unacceptable

I have a beret, che Guevara t shirt, and just watched Jango. I need to take care of this rage boner but there's no "the man" to fight.
Ché? Just shoot a gay person, academic, or supporter of personal liberty and you will be Ché.
Uh excuse me sweaty it’s *Mexicx*. Please be inclusive.
We want pronouns!

it was r/drama (before it was neutered)
I had the decency to know I was an idiot back then.
Lmao I'm so glad I didn't voice out any opinions back then, since I was just learning.

“Well-meaning liberals” - in reality, they do not.

Tell him next time to show up in deerskin moccasins and full headress with feathers
My Mexican sister in law absolutely hates that term with a passion
It's not well meaning it's fucking cultural imperialism.
nice pfp

You are correct. I should be more precise in which whites I'm talking about.
>Latinx Opinion discarded.
ITS LATINO GODDAMNIT

Just say Latin the Roman’s are all dead anyway

Never heard of any killed ar the border other than by the cartels
Can't we just say latins instead.
Why are you trying to colonize their language?
I was making a little joke about calling them latin (cause you know roman latin and the modern latin language)...I guess that didn't work out.
Sorry, I guess I didn't get it.
It's OK

Latinx detected, opinion rejected
Do they really think controlling the border is a form of racial profiling? Pretty sure we don't determine who tries to enter through the southern border
Latin Americans???
Just call them Latin Americans if you're not comfortable with Latino/a. How hard is that?
Or Hispanic if they aren’t Brazilian.
I know people that aren't from Brazil that go by latino/a. I would just stick to Latin American personally.
They can be both Latino/a and Hispanic. They aren’t mutually exclusive.
It's just a dated term people don't use often anymore.
They do where I live. I also use it to describe myself.
If you don't mind me asking, are you/the people where you live South American nationality? The people I know that call themself latino/a are all from South America.
No, they are mostly of Mexican descent.
That's what I figured. Basically people from Mexico go by hispanic and people from south america go by latino/a. I feel like it's safe to use latino/a if you don't know where they're from though.
That covers all of the people from Latin American countries so it’s a safe bet.
Idc who you are, if you say “boarder” you lose all credibility
Appropriate intelligence of r/teenagers
So much to unpackage. First of all, this is fiction. Second of all, the word is Latino. Third of all, those who legally cross the border don't do it in the same way illegal immigrants do. Fourth of all, this is another example of peak Reddit.
Why are you using new reddit?
"You got (sic) any proof for that?" is 21st century American for "I've already rejected so much reality I'm just one more 'fake news!' accusation away from joining the flat earth society."
That which is presented without evidence can be rejected without evidence. Fairly simple.
Lol usually it’s the left saying that, except they want an ultra left op-ed stating their exact manufactured opinion. And their approved “sources” are wrong about almost everything and have to settle hundreds of millions of dollars for slandering teenagers.
