Latinx is hated by the majority of Hispanic people because itโs unpronounceable in Spanish, so you can drop that one.
(Am Hispanic ftr, despise the term)
Ok but itโs not a Spanish term. Do they also complain about all the other English words that exist?
Not that I support latinx, but thatโs a pretty lame excuse to be against it
Nah, Latino is a word that springs from spanish. It isnโt actually an English word, it just got borrowed.
So, not only was the word co-opted from Latino people, the crazy crackers decided that they could ignore the objections of Latinos to the change to their words. Thatโs as opposed to the not-crazy crackers that know better than to fuck around with someone elseโs internal labels
Seriously my dude, if you donโt know any latinos well enough to ask about this kind of thing, youโre missing out. My best friendโs husband is Nicaraguan, and heโll do this half hour long rant in spanglish about it that is impressive in both scope and venom. And you donโt even wanna hear his mom go off about it! She gets mean lol.

Lol what? Where do you think English gets me out of its words.

Copoted? Are you kidding?

โTheirโ words? The term originated from LGBT AMERICAN Latinos. Itโs an English term because it originated in American by Americans Latino heritage. You need to stop gatekeeping basic words.

Ask about what kind of thing? If they donโt like it thatโs totally fine. I really donโt care one way or the other. It has 0 impact on me. But to say the word itself is racist and co-opted is also just stupid

What does this have to do with anything other than people can have preferences
A nonbinary person of Hispanic origins I watch on YouTube uses โLatineโ
