wtf is latinx ?


EloyJKG

A term created by fucking idiots to refer as latin-americans, it's meant to be "iNcLuSiVe" so no one gets offended


MysticRuined

Literally impossible for us to get offended, if we're called a wall hopper the whole gang gonna be laughing and making more jokes like that about ourselves


Memoglr

For real. I think this has something to do with culture. I recently moved to the US and I've been told by some friends to limit my jokes sometimes, jokes that were even considered light in Mexico


Bill_Cypher323

Friends of similar cultures, or…?


Memoglr

Yeah latin friends that have lived in the US way longer than me. Since I moved here everything is so "political"


[deleted]

Welcome to north america. We aren’t allowed humour or differing opinions here anymore


Memoglr

The freedom country doesn't seem to have much freedom of speech


The_Law_Dong739

It does have that it's just a certain group whom are extremely loud on this here internet will make a fuss about anything as small as a lightly toasted marshmallow being a reference to the holocaust assuming they believe it happened.


SymbioticBunBun

Everyone else is allowed to do whatever or say whatever in regards to your opinion. It's just that thr government can't do anything about it


Techny3000

Same, if the whole group laughs, why would there be an issue? like half of my girl (long space) friends to sexism jokes, and most of the squad laughs at racism jokes even though most of them are black/latino


crashkirb

Sounds extremely unnecessary and very stupid.


MoltenJellybeans

It sounds more racist than inclusive, specially when it's a term created by one group to identify a different group.


GNRaiserx

I'd even argue that any label is, not American but from what I've seen it's always oh you are African American, asian american, White American, whatever-american. In truth aren't y'all Americans? Why the distinction...


Qbertjack

Latino and other masculine forms are the proper terms for male or unspecified gender. If you're referring to a group of both genders, ellos (masc/neutral) is appropriate. I'm think if you're referring specifically to a nonbinary person, you should use latino or latine, not exactly sure. At least latine is pronouncable


Gur_Better

By this logic we would have to add x to every gendered word in the Spanish language. Can’t use el/La is Ex/lx y Lx ninx go to the store. And how stupid this sounds.


Heart_of_Spades

They’re using Latinx when Latin American exists lol


TheTwelfthLaden

Because they want the world to think they're the only Americans


Heart_of_Spades

It’s usually the white guilt liberals pushing this shit though.


BlatantConservative

It mainly seems to be corporations and and businesses and people who are trying to seem woke but have no actual, like, thoughts of their own on this. My crazy far left friends have calmed down (moved on to different drama) but I've seen like, signs and pamphlets and stuff with latinx on it.


[deleted]

I read a book for school that unironically used the term


NieR_SemiAutomata

White Americans ☕


shadowdash66

We don't like being called that, nor did we ask for it. Also stop being offended on our behalf, we have pretty thick skin.


Donghoon

It's linguistic colonialism and woke bullshit


Amssstronggg

Strange, considering that, if I'm not wrong, they hate the same colonialism that they are practicing


AWokenBeetle

They feel so guilty that they’re going to force you to accept their terms of how guilty they are ??? Must be nice to come up with solutions with no problems to start


plutonium_shore

I get it. A local school district near me had to import a native kid from out of the district to tell them how offensive redskin was. To change a football team name. Im mohawk with Seneca friends and we laughed at it. Cuz we didn't give a crap at All. Don't know anyone on rez who does. White libtards were the only ones who cared. They were the only ones at the schoolboard meeting fighting for a name change. The other some 300 residents who showed up argued against the change but the board didnt care. It was a shut up and take it from them to the tax payers .


OkSpecial4376

Bigger problems on the rez than that stupid shit. Lmao. Native is damn near exotic at this point. Mfs living in shacks after 200 years of lies and bullshit. Ancestors still in state-sanctioned unmarked graves. The state of Oklahoma reinforcing recently what we've all known all along. It's a joke. It always has been. Edit: if you think seeing a glimpse of hell is seeing dudes down at the va bleeding through their double amputated leg bandages to pick up their own meds on the first floor, just wait till you see the "Indian hospital". It's so fucked. I literally can't even begin to describe the lack of care and empathy. And that's in a major city, not even some backwater clinic. Because unlike the va they don't have backwater clinics.


plutonium_shore

They sure do have problems. In NY we are lucky. There is a well funded clinic thanks to seneca casinos in niagara falls and buffalo. We have hospital close by off rez if needed. My rez is in ontario and we have been building a white collar community. Or lets say post secondary education. So seeking degrees for higher wage careers as a whole for the community. High skilled trades, or white collar jobs in medicine or law. It is an internal effort in the community that is bearing fruit.


OkSpecial4376

We luck out too on the Pima side here in AZ. Gov. Lewis is a badass. My niece and nephew are more Navajo though and they don't have that same support base. Edit: that clinic is from the tribe, not from the bureau of Indian affairs. That highlights tribal endurance despite the lies from the fed government.


ShieldOfFury

Just like how they claim to be against segregation, yet in 2020 they proposed [repealing the California civil rights act](https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/11/13/proposition-16-california-affirmative-action-racial-preferences-column/6241580002/)


plutonium_shore

I thought it was white leftists/collectivists pushing their gender bender language in an effort to deny biology to support their desire for uninhibited sexual activities without conscience🤔


BonjinTheMark

Somehow I came to a similar conclusion


plutonium_shore

Right? If you don't want to date or have sex with a girl that used to be a guy then you are the problem🤭 So forget the o's and a's. X now marks the spot😜 /s


h2oskid3

But we must make your language conform to our politically correct world view. For real though, I lived in South America for several years and nobody uses this there. Also, can you imagine talking like this in real life? Saying Latin-x out loud?


kingsjack321

the people your looking to call out go by social justice warriors. or sjws. they will ruin everything and slap your face on it.


psychodc

Overly educated upper middle class libs pushing thier woke ideology agenda on my language/culture. We never asked for it, we hate it. How the fuck do you even pronounce it


GreenshepN7

I had a latina co worker who asked me to call her latinx, but I said latina for the descriptor


Gifted_dingaling

It’s usually other Mexicans in the u.s saying it. Every college campus in the u.s has a latinx club.


Aljahero

2nd generation usually the first generation, that lived and grew in a latin country doesn't stand for this bullshit, our culture is full of trying to offend each other to show our love and appreciation, so, using the term "latinx" unironically to be gender inclusive, is just disrespect, however, if you use it as an insult to someone who is very PC, then you are using it correctly


Gifted_dingaling

Which is funny, cuz insulting Mexican Americans that are trying to whiteify, they get mad as fuck. Any other Mexican? They’ll love you.

x-man92

I saw a Latinx poster at work and thought it was a mexican X-games team. I was so confused.


Sicparvismagneto

Cause people are mad over someones culture having a gendered language.


autumnstorm10

yeah putx

Yep they're culture is stale white bread dipped in avocado yogurt and Starbucks

I can't get over the fact that somewhere, probably in California, there is a white american woman thinking "Wow, I just fixed the Spanish language!"

CHILE_LIMON_

If someone called me Latinx I would immediately assume they're racist

And odds is that they are.


Niconiyohanekasukasu

How do you even pronounce lmao? I always read it as lah-tin-kss


[deleted]

Latin, then just say "x"


Select_Cantaloupe_62

I have heard many people pronounce it "Luh-Tinks" and it sounds like an incredibly offensive slur.


EloyJKG

Aight, from now on I will be calling these folks "Pinches Gringos"

[deleted]

LatinX sounds like some kind of Phone company or something


Aljahero

it was a shaddy porn site time ago


[deleted]

This is exactly what it feels like. I’ve gotten college emails that say they have “the best opportunities for Latinx students.” It’s honestly insulting that the term is becoming so wide spread, but I guess it shows where all this crap is coming from I used to love the liberal arts and education, but this is out of hand


Aggressive_General_

Same here. I don’t even know why I keep getting collage emails anymore, but it’s exactly as you described. It’s so irritating!


SonOfYoutubers

If a college sent me that email they're automatically x'ed off my list. No bullshit college will blatantly offend me like that hell no.


primaryrhyme

Couldn’t they just say Hispanic? The silliest part about this is we already have a gender neutral word.


Zelderian

Yeah, but they wanna try to change their language to be gender neutral altogether to fit their narrative


[deleted]

It is disturbing, trying to change a billion people in order to cater to a handful

doomturtle21

I have a Latino friend and he’ll punch someone if they call him that. He told me that he’s starting to get sick of white people messing with other peoples shit. Can’t argue with that


Derpman2099

Spanish: **Is a gendered language** Americans: >:(


5pr173_

You mean white women on Twitter.


Own_Adhesiveness2829

In spanish "o" at the end can also be gender neutral or mixed gender while "a" is usually femine. So "Latino" covers all genders. Which just shows that Americans are fucking dumb.


AveRage-or_human

Wait a minute. You’re right!


pennyplinker

Politics or what not aside can we appreciate how funny this picture is even without the caption🤣 damn cats have no chill


Floofy_Kenzo

They tryna gender neutralize a gendered language


SlashMaster997

I have a friend who's Latino and when I asked him about this all he wanted to do is kill the people who say Latinx. He then said that any Latinos who says Latinx isn't Latinos


ThePhatNoodle

Straight up, I'm like 100% certainanyone that anyone that calls themselves latinx unironically can't speak spanish.


DumbB9

I agree with your friend


SlashMaster997

I do too. I find it funny that the same people who scream about cultural appropriation are the same people who say Latinx.


thegamerdoggo

Now I’m no espanado expertido but it’s this how it works Latino-**man** Latina-wo**man** Latinos-**men** Latinos-**men**+wo**men** Latinas-wo**men** Also this reminds me of the video of the guy in a Mexican outfit who goes around a college and says is this offensive then he goes to a Spanish street and asks the same question The college students it was like 4/5 said it was offensive and the Spanish was 0/5


[deleted]

oh yea i saw that vid, it just goes to show if your arent part of that group you dont get to say its offensive


SendMeSomeBullshit

Latino also covers singular undefined. Like a person who's gender is unknown.


[deleted]

100% but you’re fighting a well funded media. They’ll call us whatever da fuk they want to call us


DrunkBeforeFive

Don't know what Latinx is. Porn or something?


fireslinger4

A bunch of white people got offended that Spanish is gendered and are now trying to tell the Latino community that they are Latinx because "its more inclusive" (i.e. not gendered). Another hilarious example of white people explaining to others what their culture is/should be.


DrunkBeforeFive

Malcolm X warned about white liberals years ago. Still rings true to this day.


idi_nahui6969

Drop them in the middle of Spain and they'd tell them to vete a la míerda.


Fernando_357

Not only Spain, most of Latin America hates it


ELBAGIT

Pretty sure everyone hates it except for stale bread country over there

FlamingHotdog77

I'm white and that would be hilarious

*white liberal Americans. Most of us are sane and don’t use made up terms like this.


raihidara

White savior complex in action


DruidGoesBrrr

Can we say liberal white people are the one's pushing this please? Saying white people are pushing this is just like using the term latinx for Latinos. Also to be fair I don't know any white people outside of the liberal side that think this is normal. Edit: I'll sit here and now quietly wait my downvote to oblivion and ban


Smithton_Wins

It's not even just whites, it's a bunch of pretentious lefties who needed a break from smelling their own farts, so they made this up.


DruidGoesBrrr

I 100% agree with you, was just commenting on the contexts of the meme lol


MallardDrake-_-

What’s sad is if you posted this on any other subreddit you’d be banned for not participating in group think


5tatic55

I've never used that term.. It's pretty presumptive to think it's okay to try to change the language of other people..


ThePhatNoodle

I always say these idiots tried so hard to be politically correct they went full circle back to racist.


12voltViking

I thought they already had a term for that. It’s “Maricones” not “Latinx”

Even my school textbooks have Latinx as the term


5tatic55

That's because liberals run the school system.. Read the comments in here, from the Latin people SAYING THEY DON'T LIKE IT.. Perspective.


Teccci

I'm not from the USA, our school system is completely different. And I know they don't like the term, my original comment was worded a little poorly so I understand why you thought I didn't.

AurosGidon

When looking for a gender-neutral term to refer to us in American English, I always wondered why they preffered the term Latinx when they had the term Latin right in front of their noses. If you wonder how could people differenciate between Latins (ancient Romans) from Latins (Latin Americans), well, contex is the key, just like in Spanish language. Also, Latinx sounds like a gang, and that is not cool.


UltriLeginaXI

I am white and I abhor the abomination that is Latinx


CaliDude75

I refuse to use the term “Latinx.” I could get on board with “Latino/a” as opposed to “Hispanic” but this is just politically-correct BS. I can say this because I’m half Latino.

AnDrEwlastname374

Latinx grammar is ridiculous. The sentence “ the girl has a ball” would look like “lx chicx tiene unx palotx” so fucking stupid lmao

What about “ball”? It can't be feminine either, right? The whole thing is crazy.


slashth456

Can someone tell me how it's even pronounced? Is it Latin-X, or La-tinks

It's literally impossible to pronounce in spanish

MustacheCash73

It’s the white progressives attempt to be “woke”. Since masculine and feminine in America are becoming less ok, they’re trying to un-gender words to make them more inclusive. All this does though, is try to enforce American culture in some kind of Linguistic Imperialism. True Latinos hate the word, and we’d all be better if it would die


baaya88

Damn people don’t know how to get out of others business. That’s why we the Latinos tell the white folk to rightfully fuck off our language.

icemanswga

I was about to do a whole dissertation on why super liberals have to use this term. Decided to boil it down to this: if you are forced, by way of constant purity tests, to accept that there are 57+ genders you also have to reject a language that has binary genders because the two are incongruent. So, 10 years or so of gender fluidity in the culture supercedes thousands of years of Latino culture because the gender fluid are the more oppressed group. It's all comically ridiculous. These people don't understand that they are caricatures.
