    A lot of Latin American people see themselves as white and would get very offended if you suggest otherwise
    Edit: Sorry I had no idea latinx was offensive

      Having had this conversation with literally 300+ hispanic people, never once has a single one had a single positive thought about “latinx”. Gendered nouns is literally a large part of their language.

        Genered nouns is the backbone of so many goddamn languages. The people being offended by it are the ones that don’t speak that tongue.

        Yea the whole thing started and is mostly used by a fringe people who are going a tad too far with political correctness.

        Mind you, I’m fine with political correctness and I’m left leaning but sometimes you can go to far.

        But if someone wants to be referred to by those terms then be my guest.
