UC San Diego starts referring to Latinos and Latinas as Latinx in key cultural shift

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

Regards,”

Try selling that to 20 million illegal immigrants who have not been indoctrinated.

The slow motion train wreck will continue, unabated.

English works just fine. It has one of, if not the largest vocabularies of any language. For example, in this case it has the compound word “Latin-American”, often shortened to Latin”. Screw this bastardized Spanish “Latino/Latina/Latinx”.

I am really insulted

I am a Latino with an ‘O’ because I am a man.

My sister es una Latina with an ‘A’ because she is a woman.

What the heck is a Lantinx? How is that more inclusive? IT IS EXCLUSIVE, as neither one of us is a ‘Latinx’. The whole leadership of that university should be fired.

The insulting part is that males get neutered and females disappear. There are no females anymore. We are being erased. How is that inclusive?

Oh.. by the way, for those melting snowflakes:

GOD is male: El Dios
The Sun is male: El Sol
The moon is female: La Luna
Earth is female: La Tierra
The Sea... Well depends. for fishermen is La Mar, but of the 99% rest of us is El mar, male.

These nutcakes will start talking about Diox, Solix, Lunix, Tierrix, and Marix.

la-TINX and chi-CANX

la-TINX, short for La Tinkerbell, and chi-CANX, short for canker. Got it.

[Toughluck_freeper]

Actually a more proper ‘San Diego’ denomination for GOD is ‘Dix’ without the male ‘o’

Think about it, these nutcakes calling GOD a dick. I hope that some biblical wrath comes down on them.

“This is about making the university more inclusive”

It's not obvious to me how adding an "x" to traditional word spellings makes things more "exclusive." On the contrary, it sends me a message that people are closely monitoring what I say in order to find me guilty of some word-crime.

"It's not obvious to me how adding an "x" to traditional word spellings makes things more "exclusive."

&#!$@@#&! Of course, I meant "inclusive."

Let's really confuse them. Russian has 5 genders (the language, not the humans that speak it). English/German have 3 (masculine, feminine, neutral) e.g. he, she, it. Ditto for Welsh.

[Buckeye McFrog]

An assault on common sense.

And on Spanish grammar.

I doubt many Latinos or Latinas will be pleased.

[outofsalt]

“Gringox” LOL!

The Romance languages have gender built into their usage.

The Germans also use a, “neuter” gender for certain nouns:
masculine endings; -ant, -ast, -ich, -ig, -ismus, -ling, -or, -us
feminine endings; -a, -anz, -ei, -enz, -heit, -ie, -ik, -in,-keit, -schaft, -sion, -tät, -tion, -ung, -ur
neuter endings; -chen, -lein, -ma, -ment, -sel, -tel, -tum, -um Simple, right?

They want to do away with the “Romance” and rely on hookups in public bathrooms and they think they can turn, “The Queen’s English” into the drag queen’s English.

Having said all that, why is it, “la pinga”?
