I used to work with this lifted-truck literally red-necked red neck. He kept going on about how hot his girl was, and how white she was.
One day he shows me her picture, and she was indeed a very hot dark skinned Latina. Some people are just in denial.
A lot of Latin American people see themselves as white and would get very offended if you suggest otherwise
Edit: Sorry I had no idea latinx was offensive
They’d certainly get offended if someone referred to them as “latinx”, lol
Having had this conversation with literally 300+ hispanic people, never once has a single one had a single positive thought about “latinx”. Gendered nouns is literally a large part of their language.
Fun fact; English used to have three genders --masculine, feminine and neuter-- like most of the other Germanic languages, but they got stripped out over the years for historical reasons having to do with the Danelaw and the Norman conquest and are gone by the time of filthy old Chaucer.
Yea the whole thing started and is mostly used by a fringe people who are going a tad too far with political correctness.
Mind you, I’m fine with political correctness and I’m left leaning but sometimes you can go to far.
But if someone wants to be referred to by those terms then be my guest.
