Please the word Latinx is not accepted by the Real Academia Española ( RAE), the official source of the Spanish language. The term is Latino which includes the masculine and feminine. Until RAE accepts the Latinx term using it is a mistake.

And when the accept it, because they will, it will continue to be just a way to show off your political and idiological colors. It has nothing to do with inclusion and those other magic words.

STOP using “Latinx”! It is a completely white-washed anglicized term! The whole reason why “Latino(s)” worked, where “chicano” and “hispanic” failed, was because it was so similar to Spanish! There are A LOT of Spanish words that use the “masculine” plural, such as: “tios” (aunts/uncles) or “abuelos” (grandparents). Are those terms “transphobic” or “sexist” now? Do we have to change the entire Spanish language to “tix” and “abuelx”?!

The term Latinx is so politically loaded, it’s strange to use it in a talk about unifying people. I understand it’s probably used here with the intention of being inclusive, but really there is so much political baggage packed into the term, you’re actually excluding anyone who doesn’t identify as far left. I’d reconsider using the term as a default in the future. I imagine anyone who doesn’t lean far left will automatically downvote this video based on the use of Latinx alone.

Cringe. Now TED too with the “LatinX”? I don’t even like the labels Latino or Latina to begin with nor do I believe in a “Latin America”. Those are all concepts by the French which ignore nationalities yet we speak Spanish and the U.S. had the Monroe Doctrine and Mexico has events like the Cry of Dolores, which has anti French sentiment, and Cinco de Mayo. Latino and Latina are also words in SPANISH, so just say LATIN AMERICAN when you’re speaking ENGLISH like in this video. Or do you call Chinese Americans in the U.S., “Zhongguoren” when you speak English? Why is this the only “group” that has gender politics forced into its label? Other gendered language exist like German and Russian, which aren’t related to Latin, and Italian, French, Romanian, etc… and there are Spanish languages like Basque which aren’t even related to Latin. What’s “masculine” and “feminine” in the majority of the Spanish language is completely arbitrary and just a boiler plate thing of the Spanish language which I think is a trade off for the ability to spell every word in Spanish exactly how it sounds while in English you have to memorize how to spell lots of words that don’t sound the way they are spelled. A tree in Spanish is “masculine” yet a computer is “feminine”. It’s so arbitrary. There are also counter examples to the exclusion example they always bring up because there are phrases like “hola mi gente latinA” which includes both males and females in the greeting. Saying things like “latinos y latinas” is no different than saying things like “ladies and gentlemen” or are we now going to start greeting people as “ladies, gentlemen, and Xs”? Seems too fit for this post Covid-19 lockdown world akin to the movies Elysium and Bladerunner.

These people don’t even look like the average “Latino”. Like if you go on YouTube and search “Mexico City comic convention” you’ll see what I mean. They don’t even follow the average pairing of “Latinos”, Indian surname Kumar? Why would a Colombian even care about Central Americans in a race-obsessed way who is obsessed with defining a group like “LatinX” or “Latino” constantly? How did you survive the Darién Gap? You most likely came by plane! They’re just tools of some geopolitical 4D chess being played and funded by billionaires. Freudian mother’s womb? Yet you constantly keep bringing up homogeneous groups like the Irish, and they’re not even “mixed”, by mentioning Patrick’s Day.

The last “LatinX” segment I saw by a local news channel discussing race explicitly said that “Chile is a majority “white” country” and these people want to see themselves as global citizens yet their whole worldview revolves around a migration vector that goes through Mexico and ends in the U.S. Why not send some of your global citizens to report on how some migrants end up in Chile or how Venezuelans suffer racism from the Native American people, that you love so much, from Peru.

Just a point of clarification on something mentioned in the intro (1:50). In 1914, “on the eve of WW1,” Woodrow Wilson was president; FDR and his New Deal didn’t come along until the 1930s … on the eve of WW2.

More claptrap from the Socialist Left. Fat and sassy kids think it’s Hip to revere Che and Mao. Thoughtful people of Spanish descent – along with those of African and Asian descent – are actually moving away from the gilded fake and always undelivered promises of Leftist ideology and beginning to realize that it is NOT the path to a better life for themselves and their children. Too many kids remain adolescents all their lives and continue to live up to the axiom that “if you’re young and a conservative, you have no heart and if you’re old and liberal, you have no brain”. When you are made too comfortable in your life that you never grow up your brain atrophies.

You complain about the use of the new word. But latino latina is also wrong because mexicans central and south americans are NOT latinos they are indians who speak spanish. The real latinos latinas are french italians spaniards and portoguese.

If you think it’s hard to leave a relationship, but you are experiencing any sign of infidelity you need to say to yourself, “I can do better,” and just leave. I had no choice but to contact a professional tech guy who I got introduced to by my friend, he helped me hack my partners phone and I found out he was cheating , I even got to see his deleted messages, pictures and videos. I had no choice but to confront him and leave the relationship Because it became too toxic for me. I know someday I would find the right man for me. Incase you need the same service from the professional tech guy , you can contact him through Gmail : cyberhackanswers @ gmail. com or Text/WhatsApp: +1 626 578 5544, or send him a dm on instagram @blonde_hacker_ infidelity hurts.
stating what you want him to do, he’s affordable. No one deserves to be cheated on. i confronted him . At first it hurt so much, but then suddenly, I felt free and good. Trust me, it’ll feel a lot better once you accept that the relationship is over.
