AdmiralTigelle@reddit

There is. There is parlance in "academic circles" that denounce Spanish as a sexist language because it has masculine and feminine forms. For example, if a girl is tall, you would say "Ella es alta." For a boy it is "El es alto".

While there are leftist Mexicans who take this stance, it is an extremely small minority that other Mexicans mock. The "Latinx" essentially boils down to academic whites telling other cultures how they can "do better."

Good idea, let's change that too. Homokind works much better.

Because the Left was trying to “fix” other people’s language while also not knowing a damn thing about it. You can’t actually pronounce “Latinx” in Spanish, the closest you can get is “Latin X.”

Why did Latino need fixing? Because of the o as masculine?

Ill_Guess1549@reddit

because of their progressive gender theory they refuse to use gendered pronoun so they went with latinx probably.

My mother is from Mexico (half German but born/raised in Mexico), speaks fluent Spanish, lived in Mexico until late childhood, etc. I had never even heard this term until the other night my gf used it and I was like "what the fuck is that supposed to mean?" Latinos are a proud people and inventing some kind of progressive term for them was a solution to a problem that did not exist and shows a complete disconnect with their culture.

[-]

trilobot@reddit

As unwieldy and unliked by many Spanish speakers as it is, Latinx was actually invented by native Spanish speakers - namely Puerto Rican youth in online forums where Spanish and English were both being used.

Gendered languages have a recent habit of making gender inclusive terms that only really work in writing. French in particular is unpronouncable "un∙e professeur∙e". This is similar to when Spanish uses the @ symbol as a shorthand for gendered word endings. Again it's intended for writing only.

This is the sort of situation Latinx evolved from in online forums where a lot of queer people were.

It's use outside of there has been co-opted in very clunky ways, for sure. But in the end this isn't some forced change by white people, or at least it didn't start that way. Definitely turned into that however.

Arguments about "how language works" are weak since languages evolve and this is actually an example of one dialect evolving naturally. The Spanish ñ started as a shorthand for nn in Latin words (anno to año) literally to save space on expensive paper lol.

And every Cuban I know under the age of 40 that votes Republican does so because they dislike the Democrat support for LGBT rights, abortion, and the non-traditional family and the odd disagreement on fiscal or foreign policy.

Harris only won Latino voters by six points, a steep drop-off from Biden’s 33-point edge in 2020 and Clinton’s 38-point advantage eight years ago, according to exit poll data. Latino men gravitated toward Trump in greater numbers than ever before, with Trump winning the group by a 12-point margin, according to CNN exit polls. Biden won Latino men by 23 points in 2020 and Clinton won by 31 points in 2016. A majority of Latina women did vote for Harris, but she won the demographic by only 22 points, a major shift from the 39 points Biden won with in 2020 and 44-point Clinton advantage in 2016.

They tried changing it to Latine.

My other favorite thing that they'll say that let's me know they're regarded, "Its not hard to say." No, it's physically not difficult to say it. It's difficult to listen to Ivy League white women telling minorities how they should refer to one another.

I've posted this same inane thing multiple times so far in this thread because I can't come up with a way to refute facts, so i'm pretending you're stupid and wrong because you use the same site i'm using right now

ButtersTG@reddit

I feel like the fact that these were posts from UnethicalLPT, is important context, I saw comments and posts about how these could be bots, so take it with a grain of salt I guess.

I know that it's either a location thing, where people closer to the border may feel this way because it's directly relevant to what they probably see every day already, or it's meming, or it could be just some initial lashing out by people who are rather upset because they know the extent of what another Trump term means. I'd say that it's really hard to say just how wide spread these feelings are in the "liberal-leaning" community as a whole.

Lets not get that far... There is a reason I voted Trump. Sometimes you gotta play their games to get the upper hand.

[-]

inventingnothing@reddit

There's a difference.

Going after the people who implemented political prosecutions with the goal of interfering with the election, should be put in prison. Same with those that aided in bringing millions of illegals into the country. They are the leaders of the whole shabang.

The average illegal immigrant? They were just going with the flow. Should they be deported? Absolutely, but reporting them out of spite is wrong.

Yes, and i'm tried of people gaslighting me like it's not used.

In the past 7 years I've worked for 3 of the Big 5 and every one used it.

They all also had automatic notices for when you use things like "whitelist/blacklist" (should be "allowlist/denylist" now), "grandfathered" (should be "legacy" now), etc. and they included giving a notice when you use "Latino".

Offline, most Latinos that grew up in Latin America don't use it but the second-fourth generation American "Latinos" absolutely use it all the time.

a move that gives more heft to the Trump administration’s broad efforts to remove from the country immigrants who have committed crimes.

“The Denaturalization Section will further the department’s efforts to pursue those who unlawfully obtained citizenship status and ensure that they are held accountable for their fraudulent conduct,”

As far as i'm aware, this has always been a thing.

More or less, it has. Did you miss the whole:

"Yes. We started a new denaturalization project under Trump. In 2025, expect it to be turbocharged."

TheOneWhoSlurms@reddit

That is something I noticed about the noisiest members of the liberal side of things is that they're very quick to preach about being progressive and inclusive but they're equally as quick to hate and exclude people because they're not like them.

They think that just because they're tolerant of new concepts such as transgenderism or being on board with gay marriage or other personal freedoms like that that automatically makes them progressive and inclusive when in reality they're complete disdain for anyone who doesn't think like that really shows the hypocrisy. If you really want to call yourself progressive and inclusive then you need to be open to and accepting of other people's way of looking at things and not hate them for it. Understanding someone you don't agree with is a pretty big virtue that they don't seem to have

Do they not even see the hypocrisy?

[-]

TheOneWhoSlurms@reddit

I mean it's not even just that either, if you can prove that someone is a legitimate Nazi who actively calls for the deaths of innocent people then I think it's okay not to like that person but if you're going to start going around labeling the average Republican voter as a Nazi because they are Republican So you can have a reason to hate them that is legitimate then that's where the problem is.

I think it's fine to be intolerant of extremist behavior and ideologies but the issue arises when you start labeling anyone who opposes or even disagrees with your ideology as extremist.

[-]

0hryeon@reddit

But “legitimate Nazi” can mean anything. What if they don’t believe it anymore? Tweets can be faked and photos have AI so these ANTIFA can just make shit up. Labels are kinda pointless

Even after that, it’s still not tolerant. If they wanna be all high and mighty about it then they should stick to their guns, and be tolerant of every single other person or belief. They’re the ones who want to be that way.
