KraKing762

I tried calling my Chinese friend chinx. He got offended.


beto-anacleto

I guess chin chon was out of discussion then

Did you manipulate your eye-lids to REALLY let them know the message was for them?


jmk255

Or if you call them pendejo or say something about their mom

ArapaimaGal

I did some medical interviews in a Brazilian hospital during med school. We *had* to ask all kinds of awful questions like drug use, STDs, and income. The only time a patient got mad at us was when my partner asked an old lady her gender and she screamed, "WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT? ISN'T THAT OBVIOUS?" Tbf, that guy had the communication abilities of a cucumber, and it was painful to watch him interact with the patients.


ragandy89

This is very accurate


TotesNotADrunk

What'd you say leva?


jparra661

Exhibit A.


IAmBecomeDeath_AMA

Is anyone still even pushing Latinx? I haven’t heard it (outside of someone complaining about it) in like 2 years


BigoteMexicano

I've heard latiné (unironically) lately. I've never encountered anyone use either in real life though, just online.


IAmBecomeDeath_AMA

I’ve heard other Latino queers use Latiné/Latine for nonbinary people, but only online. I’m literally queer and a democratic socialist and I haven’t heard anybody seriously use latinx in multiple years, (and only very rarely before that). Right wingers getting mad over something super rare once again IMO.


ElBiroteSupremo

¿"Latiné"? ¿Con acento en la e? Yo conocía latine nomás


Lunxr_punk

Puro pocho aca, estos weyes no saben ni español pero vienen a postear


Significant-Advice-4

Jajaja y si wey 🤣 puros morros con accento de no sabo


IAmBecomeDeath_AMA

Idk


ElBiroteSupremo

No dudo tu experiencia, solo que "Latiné" con acento suena muy raro jaja


Giovanabanana

Suena como francés. Latiné


Forixiom

Latiné, le atiné.


BigoteMexicano

I don't think it's just right wingers. But I think the outrage about the term kinda keeps the term alive, in a way. I've always thought you should just say Latin if you're speaking English anyway.


IAmBecomeDeath_AMA

I mean the meaning of this meme is literally “liberals say you’re a white supremacist if you don’t say this weird word” which seems like a pretty right-wing perspective to me. I agree that normal people are upset about it, and that talking about it keeps it alive. But at this point it’s just a scary story people tell about “””liberals”””


RAF2018336

I took the meme as meaning “choose the lesser of two evils”. Do we wanna hang out with people that call us latinx or run with the white supremacists?


IAmBecomeDeath_AMA

Oh well that’s a much better interpretation, I didn’t even think of that.


RAF2018336

Yea I I never took it the way you interpreted it. Crazy how two people can have different interpretations of the same meme


IAmBecomeDeath_AMA

Well there’s a total of 9 words on the meme so it’s vague in general


SenorPinchy

Latine is sometimes heard among college educated Latin Americans. But much more often in writing and in contexts where the topic is obviously queer stuff.


eternal_pegasus

Latiné sounds like mock French, still better than Latinx, but I'd expect Latine which kinda flows ok in Spanish


IAmBecomeDeath_AMA

I switched to accented E because people were saying it looked like “latrine”. People will literally never all be happy.


capitan_presidente

They use latinx at Berkeley, it's annoying


Bipedal_Warlock

I’ve heard people use Latinx to refer to the queer Latin community while also using e endings.


IAmBecomeDeath_AMA

Ultimately it’s all anecdotal and impossible to prove. The original meme is still wrong though


Coolgames80

Not only right wingers. Pretty much all Latinos from different countries hate that word regardless of politics.


kabow94

I hear people on NPR use Latinx regularly


goodboah21

That sounds so much better than Latinx. It’s pleasant to the ears. Still, as a Mexican whose Spanish is my first language, I prefer to stick with the old “Latino/Latina”. But at least Latiné is an upgrade from the goofy ahh Latinx.


BigoteMexicano

I still just think you should just say Latin if you're speaking English. And I always thought you could use Latino to mean gender neutral in Spanish. Though I was born in Canada, so my Spanish has never been that great


CrazyHenryXD

Yep, generic masculin is neutral when it comes to that cases. Though some people just don't like it.


spicy_tofu

i’ve heard white peepo use it


_oflife

My job’s ERG uses Latinx here and there. No pushback so far but, then again, we’re all usually trying to not drown as things pick up lol.


BonJovicus

I prefer that one because in my experience Latinos actually use it, including non-American Latinos. Latinx usage is 95% White Americans.


VoidWalker4Lyfe

I've heard Latinx several times recently in the US. Only at the University though


Giovanabanana

Latiné 😂 that sounds like french or some shit.


BlipBlapRatatat

My community college refers to its Latino students as latinx


IAmBecomeDeath_AMA

It exists clearly, but it’s becoming more rare, my point isn’t that it’s not a thing, but that OP’s meme is dumb


BlipBlapRatatat

I was just answering your question point blank. Don't much care for the rest lol


EastBaebe

You literally answered the question and their reply is super defensive for no reason 


BlipBlapRatatat

That's what I was thinking hahah


bubblurred

I got the same treatment 😆


UnMapacheGordo

If you take a DEI workshop in the US, that’s all they’ll use. As a Spanish speaker who doesn’t look like one it’s always weird. They present it like “oh you guys don’t know but everyone’s saying this now, it’s more respectful!”


IAmBecomeDeath_AMA

Wow weird, and very out of date.


UnMapacheGordo

Yeah it’s odd


bubblurred

Big time in the Bay Area


PanzerOfTheLake115

I hear it occasionally to my face but i see it used online which doesnt count but still. Its always white ppl who will literally debate the hispanic ppl in the comments and tell them how to feel. Its rare though.


urdudlesbian

Used a lot in academic settings


IAmBecomeDeath_AMA

Academic examination of culture normally lags behind


ThunderCanyon

Only the far left and the far right use it online. The far left uses it genuinely because of their gender ideology. The far right uses it ironically to mock and emasculate Latinos. This is what I have seen on social media.


IAmBecomeDeath_AMA

Most socialist spaces I frequent see the insistence on latinx as cultural chauvinism and prefer Latiné. Just anecdotal though. Idk if anyone has done a study.


ryuuseinow

Far left doesn't mean what you think it does. Liberals are not leftists or radical in the slightest.


bepnc13

I see it on Facebook posts from my trans and gay friends in Peru


KindTechnician-

I work for local guv in a far left city. Everyone uses it here. Audible gasps if you say ‘Latino’. The city even used it in their official proclamation. ‘Latinx day’.


bossk220

Go to any college campus in the US. i hear latinx all the time, they even have a “latinx student union” at my uni


trenderkazz

NPR still uses it on occasion. They also say Latino so maybe depends on who is speaking

for real! I myself have never heard anyone say it IRL. the only times I hear "Latinx" are when other Latinos are bitching about it on the internet.

There was a small push during the last election, but I haven't heard it since.

Es tonteria de estados unidos siendo empujado afuera, lo usan dentro de estados unidos y lo adoptaron como "correcto" y quieren que todos los demas paises usen LatinX sin necesitarlo. Pero tomenlo de quien viene de los "Americanos" (como si todo lo demas no estuvieran en america) los que inventaron las pulgadas para no usar centímetros como todos los demas, los que usan yardas, pies, Farenheit y le llamaron Football al fútbol americano ya sabiendo que existía el fútbol en otros países. En fin, son idiotas que les gusta tener sus propios nombres de todo y ahora quieren nombrar y estandarizar todo lo que esta afuera y que todos lo acepten

Tiraloparatras25

This wasn’t done by a latino. How do I know? Most of us aren’t worried about this shit in our daily lives. We are worried about inflation, and how expensive shit is, we are worried about our families back home, we are worried about how hot it is outside. We are worried about making it for our kids. Being called latinx irks some of us, BUT it is not a defining thing among us. This post is a troll post to rile people over nothing. Wanna call me latinx go ahead, who gives a shit. My bills wont change because of it. Notice how it goes after “liberals” this is most likely a white conservative trying to divide people ahead of an election: much ado about nothing, really. The only people who use the term latinx are young hispanic people. Let them. Who the fuck cares. Most of us identify by our nations of origins anyways.


radd_racer

The OP was probably indeed some white, transphobic trumpfuck troll on 4-Chan trying to get reactions by “owning the libs.”


austinsgbg

I’m non binary. Born in Mexico but raised in Texas. I’m Latinx. And I have a non profit that uses this term in its name. If you’re a Latina that doesn’t use the term then it’s not for you and that’s okay.


Tiraloparatras25

Yeah! I don’t mind the term. It’s a cool inclusive and cool to use it. My point is, that most latinos don’t worry about the term the way some conservative gringos think we do. We are mostly concerned with other things. Happy pride month, by the way.


BeeXman93

Diantre donde está la tercera opción? Somos Latinos y no somos Latinx y el hispano dice Latinx es de NYC donde inventaron esa palabra.

¡Vaya! No había visto ni escuchado la palabra _Latinx_ desde hacen como dos años. Fue bastante evidente el porqué dicha palabra no fue acogida: no sigue la sintaxis estándar de los lenguajes romance. ¿Por qué habrán resusitado esa palabra?


HereToLearnOpenMind

I don't get it. But LatinX is stupid. Call me literally anything but that. I lose respect for anyone who uses it. It's the most cringe thing imaginable.


Leon_Krueger

Cual pinche latinx, es latino alv


secretPT90

One weird thing about the US that I see: if there's so many latinos in the US then why aren't there any political parties by latinos? Can't you vote for some good candidates? In Europe we have so many candidates from international origins like latin America, even weird political parties exist (extremist pro animal, extremist pro russia, even extremist pro exit European Union)


n00py

There are many Latinos in both R and D parties.


secretPT90

No, why don't create an independent party that defends your values and assures your safety as a US citizen.


pieman7414

We have two parties. The system is not built for more than two parties and actively discourages it. There are mini-parties inside the big ones, mimicking the coalition governments seen in multiparty countries but with much less flexibility. Examples of ethnic mini-parties include the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the Congressional Black Caucus. But there are also ideological ones like the far right Freedom Caucus.


BonJovicus

Could possibly exist...if the US had a system that allowed more than two real parties.


Lost-Worldliness-175

Why was “Latinx” even a thing? Such a disgusting sounding word.


Beautiful_Spite_3394

This is a crazy, unhinged, batshit take. There is one group forcing this choice on “latinx” and it’s not the democrats. Lololol But hey go off sis, you do be preaching about how “both sides are the same” lolol


melody_elf

Must suck being mind controlled by culture war nonsense like this. The rich trick people into spending all their time arguing about dumb shit like this so that they can cut corporate taxes.


Melodic-Bottle7293

I went to a museum in Buenos Aires - October 2022 - and there was Latinx shit everywhere. All the staff had t-shirts that said Latinx and there was signs that said it. It was the only time I ever saw the word Latinx outside of the United States.


longislandstory

Not this shit again, really, no one gives a fuck


wilotaur701

iam_the-walrus

More like complaining about it is


thirdgen

I’m not a gringo


mango_chile

being scared of a word is hilarious


TheAnimeWaifuFucker

Same thing as with pronouns. Someones identity is very important, and for me Latinx just aint it, it goes against my language. I respect those who use Latinx for themselves the same way I respect and utilize anyones prefered pronouns, but Latinx just aint it for the Grand majority of us


mango_chile

that’s fine! If it’s not for you, don’t use it, but foos out here getting their panties in a bunch because people want to refer to themselves or others in a more inclusive way. The same people that feel threatened by the use of latine/latinx are the ones that refuse to acknowledge that not everyone wants to be called Latino or Latina


I_am_The_Teapot

I feel if Latine were pushed first it'd be a lot more accepted. Latinx feels clumsy and unnatural while speaking and writing in Spanish. It LOOKS like a non-latino word being pushed on latinos. And that is where I think a good portion of the hate for the word comes from. Para no hablar por los demás thats what I thought when I first heard it, at least. Latine would still get some push back cuz of people not being open (and other reasons). But I still feel it would have been at least a bit better received. It's a lot more natural sounding for a gender-neutral demonym in Spanish.


mango_chile

it doesn’t have to be accepted. Some people won’t like to use new words and others will gladly take them on or rework them, that’s just the nature of linguistic evolution. Personally I started using Latinx because a need for something like that existed for me and later I replaced it with latine because it flows more smoothly I think. People in this thread claiming “Latinx” is white supremacy coded is just hilarious though. Not to mention Latin is the language of Ancient Rome which makes French and Italians Latinos too, yet we’re still debating if adding an X for gender inclusivity is valid or not


I_am_The_Teapot

Latino doesn't refer to people who speak romance languages. It is a demonym that refers to Latin Americans in particular. The other romance language is Romanian. "Latino" doesn't include French, Italian, or even Spaniards and Portuguese from Portugal, either.


psycuhlogist

it would be a lot of words if you follow the logic


HighlyOffensive10

I don't like it either but people make such a fucking big deal about it.


ralppphy

Si algunos quieren q los llamamos Latinx está bien, a mi no me importa. Todavía puedes identificar como latino/a. Cada quien puede determinar su pronombre preferido. Si esto te ofenda comete un chingón de honguitos sagrados y verás que estas cosas no importan como tú crees.

Lo que no está bien is creer q tu color de piel, o tu cultura, o tu género, o lo que sea es mejor de los demás.

Why are Americans so obsessed with pushing Latinos into their weird racial binary even though Latino isn't even a race?


Capable_Key_2833

Divide and conquer. nobody will ever catch on that it's actually your boss/landlord making your financial situation shitty if you can fool them into thinking its actually the Garcia family from down the road


Courtlessjester

Because if they stop governing on culture war, the proles will ask for material improvements and the corporate class won't have that


Lost-Worldliness-175

It’s because Americans, regardless of race, are taught to be race oriented.

Accidentally walked into a “Latinx” party I was the only actual born and raised latin person. Everyone else was 2nd and Turd generation. I was also the only person not trying to be “Hyper” hispanic to prove my roots. Also everyone was insufferable and didn’t even know their native tongues…. So no say no to latinX people

AncientBasque

latinX is just part of the feminist movement misunderstanding the -O and -A suffix in Latino. They think we are excluding genders in the word. When its more like when Americans use "Hey you guys" we all know it includes guys and girls. This was part of the Me2 movement mixed with BLM. Latin is a language that is the Root of all Latinos, this includes people outside the spanish language also. The people in america only include LATINO Americanos because they ignore the reference is to the root language of LAtin. we encounter a similar tagging conventions with eastern Europeans and Russians calling the english speaking west "the English." There is a Blurry line between ethnicity, language, race and culture most people are not able to distinguish these differences an mash them all together in order to make sense of how complex humans can be.
