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
Only Americans seem to draw a distinction between Spanish descendents other European descendents. Presumably because they’re poor and on the wrong side of a line someone drew on a map.
Antonio Banderas was bemused when he was labelled a “person of colour”.
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.
Yes I’ve had this argument with some Latino people. I guess they don’t to be on the shitside of the stratification, but the racist whites hate them as well.
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.

They’d certainly get offended if someone referred to them as “latinx”, lol
What does the x mean?
As far as I understand it, “Latinx” is supposed to be the gender-neutral form of Latina/Latino.
Depending on who you ask, it may be more or less offensive than assuming their gender, or simply using a different word.
Ok, thank you.
I’m from the wrong continent to really understand this issue in depth but what’s wrong with ‘Latin American’ as a term?
Not as offended as they would be if called them Lafuckingtinx to their face lmao.
Please stop using “latinx”.
I lot of Latinos are white, but she was not. Of course to a racist like this guy, no Latino is really white.

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.
Genered nouns is the backbone of so many goddamn languages. The people being offended by it are the ones that don’t speak that tongue.
