Most parents and students have no idea that the universities have administrators who see the universities as a place of "resistance" to the students' traditional values. These college administrators are actively trying to change the traditional values of the incoming students. They are intentionally trying to redefine and shift culture through indoctrinating our kids. If parents don't prepare their kids to meet these insane arguments, their kids will end up buying into the arguments.

Not a cultural shift.

Just a continued descent into madness.

I'm sure they'll appreciate being re-categorized by their commie handlers.

Why did we ever use the Latina/Latino thing in the first place?

We speak English, and our language does not change adjectives based on the sex of the thing.

I would wager Spanish, also, does not use the RULES OF ENGLISH when constructing sentences in Spanish.

Example:

“I saw a gaggle of Latino cheerleaders primping before their appearance at the big game.”

I missed the part where it says what Latinos and Latinas think of this.

I just watch this stuff with morbid fascination.

Just consider, the left loves Hispanics, because they vote Democrat. The left also loves pretending there are 57 genders. Hispanics speak Spanish. Spanish uses masculine and feminine nouns. Not 57 flavors. You have el and la. Does this mean Spanish is gender biased? But the left loves multilingualism.

A slow motion train wreck is in progress.

So destroy a Romance language that uses gender designations in their nouns to be politically correct. How about replace o and a in all the Spanish nouns with x?

Hey Gringx, don’t start trouble or you’ll have to answer to Panchx and Ciscx.

I’d embrace it.

It’s frankly stupid to have to specify what sex (NOT gender) one is along with nationality/etc.

Latinxs? Latinks? Laticks?

I vote for Door #3. Hey, I’m married to a LatinA, emphasis on the “A” - so I can make fun if I want to do so.

I am SOOOO sick and tired of this PC crap. I think that the only way that we are finally going to be free of this plague of nonsense is if we are nuked, or enter into a (not so) civil war; otherwise, the other side just won’t stop. Our only successful weapon is, ironically enough, Alinsky and his message of making fun of the other side.

In Spanish the masculine form is "unmarked" so it includes any group except those which are exclusively female--so Latinos can be either all male or a mixture of males and females. But the feminists don't like the traditional rules of grammar.

"Latinx" is just a monstrosity...but pretty soon it will be considered hate speech to use anything else.

This supposed journalist didn’t take the time to ask a few students? I’m guessing most will reject this policy outright. Snowflake white students have been bullied and brainwashed that their culture is evil and irrelevant, but Latino students not so much.

Didn't you get the memo? Spanish now has only a single pronoun: lx.

I know a lot of Mexican Americans who hate being called “latino” or “Hispanic”. They say those are foreign terms that have been imposed on them by white people. They want to be called “Mexican” or “Mexican American”.

Also, the Spanish language has rules of grammar and gender. Unlike the way that people speak English in this country, when speaking or using Spanish the rules are expected to be obeyed.
