For Negrete and other Latinos in the LGBTQ community, the Sunday massacre, which President Barack Obama has recently called an act of terror and a hate crime, shined a spotlight on an issue that has not been discussed enough: the targeting of people of color within the community.

“A Latinx transwoman was shot the other day in Santa Ana,” said Negrete. Latinx is a term being used with increasing frequency on social media, replacing the “o” in Latino with “x,” making the masculine identifier gender-neutral.

As well as it should. And I have two suggestions for them (and everyone else for that matter):

Buy a high-quality, medium-caliber revolver and learn to safely defend yourself with it, and vote for Trump to defend the nation as a whole against Muslim terrorism.

A little known fact is that homosexuality is much more common among black Americans than it is for other races. About 3.2% of whites claim to be LGBT (so it’s not just homosexuals), but among blacks, it is 4.6%

“What is the difference between a person of color and a colored person?”

“colored person” is racist; “person of color” isn’t.

Try that shi! in Mrs. Cleveland's Honors Spanish Class a see what happens.

Probably language rules developed by Gringax.

One theory is that homosexual sexual abuse at a young age contributes to the child becoming LGBT. Blacks have more single moms, who could be targeted by pedophiles giving them attention in order to get access to her kid.

In which case, my response is to always use LatinO.

Or better: Latinhombre.

Being raised in a single-parent household might also have a lot to do with it, even apart from pedophilism. It is known that children (of all races) raised in single parent families have a 60% greater chance of becoming criminal offenders, so it would be easy to assign a whole bunch of other problems to it as well.
