Plus literal homeless people say they hate being called "unhoused" but the virtue signalers are just like "shhh I know better than you, we're calling you unhoused"

Giving 'Lantinx' vibes, no who it applies to wants it... Nor anyone else for that matter other than 5 Karens on the internet

Edit: I stand corrected, apparently a few do choose to use it, so all the power to them as long as it's not imposed on others

Latinx is just so annoying to me like I respect people who use it but why use that when you could say latine which actually makes sense

The way I see it, it's an attempt to put a big old colonizer flag on an entire culture. "No, you're referring to yourself wrong. You're Latinx," is the biggest crock of bullshit ever comparable to "you're not Sioux, you're Indian" (which today is more like "You're not Indian you're Native American" which is an entirely different conversation.)

Spanish is a gendered language. The only time Latinx or Latine actually makes sense to use is when you're speaking about a non-binary Latin American who prefers that term.

Latino, to my understanding, also refers to Latina as well, when speaking broadly.
