Latinx is hated by the majority of Hispanic people because itβs unpronounceable in Spanish, so you can drop that one.
(Am Hispanic ftr, despise the term)
A nonbinary person of Hispanic origins I watch on YouTube uses βLatineβ
Ok but itβs not a Spanish term. Do they also complain about all the other English words that exist?
Not that I support latinx, but thatβs a pretty lame excuse to be against it
Nah, Latino is a word that springs from spanish. It isnβt 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. Thatβs as opposed to the not-crazy crackers that know better than to fuck around with someone elseβs internal labels
Seriously my dude, if you donβt know any latinos well enough to ask about this kind of thing, youβre missing out. My best friendβs husband is Nicaraguan, and heβll do this half hour long rant in spanglish about it that is impressive in both scope and venom. And you donβt 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?

βTheirβ words? The term originated from LGBT AMERICAN Latinos. Itβs 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 donβt like it thatβs totally fine. I really donβt 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
