Stoopid gringos.
Not a cultural shift.
Just a continued descent into madness.
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?
El stupido.
Never mind offending real men and women. They don’t count.
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.
That would be Gringox.
Prounouncation?
Latinx and Chicanx
la-TINX and chi-CANX
Wouldn’t that be right?
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.
"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.
The Spanish language is sexist and patriarchal!
Didn't you get the memo? Spanish now has only a single pronoun: lx.
Regards,
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.
