I guess I'm way behind the times. I've heard "LatinX" used. . . mostly by non latino people, but I gotta admit, I have no freaking clue what it is or who it represents. Someone care to fill me in on that one?

Reading the context of the AP tweet. . . it sounds like LatinO is the gender "inclusive" form of the word representing Hispanic people and they don't like it? Is that literally all it is? Why are they so hell bent on bastardizing the English language and now the Spanish language?

Well its abundantly clear that the AP does care, or they wouldn't have tweeted their liberal opinions in regard to the Arkansas governor's 1st act in office.

And apparently their audience cares or the AP wouldn’t write such stupid shite for them.

Call for the the end of whiteness = good

Call for the end of using Latinx = bad

Hey progstains. You people are so fricked in the head.

The whole “Latinx” shite makes me laugh after having to take several years of Spanish.

There is no neuter option in Romance languages (French, Spanish, Italian, Romanian, etc) so the -x suffix makes absolutely no sense to anyone who actually can read or speak the language.


The only people pushing this are likely the ones pissed that the indefinite for most words uses the male term because the suffixes for a male group and a mixed group are identical.

It’s why they love censorship. They suppress truth in order to support their stupid ideas

When freedom of information is allowed to flow freely, their bullshite is easily debunked
