  1. Another example of white owned organizations/outlets/companies/etc. cherrypicking a complete deviant and reject of the community to be their mouthpiece. Immediately at 0:35 I knew what kind of time this pendejo was on.

  2. Not sure if people understand that X in spainish is pronounced as "E-kees" not "Ex" Latinx is LatinE-kees so you can tell the people that made this term up don't know how to speak Spanish, nor had enough brain cells to just remove a letter and Use "Latin".
    O:Denotes Male
    A:Denotes Women
    X:has no relation to gender, making it completely meaningless change.

    My point is theres no need to create a term when one already exists, it's entirely pointless.

  3. If some or many people are happy identifying themselves as a latinx great for them. But if many would understand or study their roots as Latino/Hispano Americanos that latinx term would probably be meaningless or an unnecessary term.
    And to any politician if you want my serious vote do not call me latinx.

  4. Lol this guy "we don't know where the term comes from"
    "it comes from 'latinx' acedemia"

    No it doesn't. It comes from white American Acedemia and is widely rejected by in Latin America. It's fine that you're LGBT but stop trying to force people to change their language. These types of terms and words do not promote inclusivity in fact they do the opposite and only turn the majority of people against the LGBT community

    And I'm sorry but if you are such a special flower that you need your own made up pronoun or need to radically change languages because you identify as whatever, then you're an absolute hlfwt.

    My language is non gendered but I'm 1000% certain someone will find something to complain about lol. Like in my language the word for black person is "zenci" but now there are leftists in my country who are so desperate to emulate Merican leftists they have decided the word is offensive. It was never an insult, it doesn't have the same history of slavery etc etc. But no, suddenly its unacceptable according to them. What do they want to use instead? "Siyahı" which literally means "BLACKISH" it's not even black.. No its "blackish" lol

    I swear they will soon push the change the Spanish word for black. This will 100000% happen. Esp since many black people in America also don't seem to understand the difference and take offense because the word is similar to the nword.

    I've seen black people het angry over the name of the country Montenegro… I've seen countless tweets of furious black people because a crayon company that uses English, Spanish and Chinese for their colours used the Spanish word for black on their black crayon.

    Life is literally turning into a parody

  6. Should the other 250 million people on the US call themselves Stupid? Yeah, they should.

    I swear everyone around the world has completely lost their minds.🤦‍♀

  7. Oh please, how ridiculous can people be. Groups change their name so often no one can keep up. Change it all you want, it makes no difference to me. I identify people by their name not where they come from.
