@@squiddyft.insecurities3549 Latinx is a manufactured, pointless word created by white folks in an attempt to virtue signal with what they consider gender neutral term. It's created by folks who have no idea how the Spanish vocabulary works considering we don't use X at the end of any word is not part of our vocabulary. If you need to get into more detail, the term was created by LGBT internet groups and since it's creation only 3% of Hispanics use it. No idea why you insist on coming to bat for "Latinx" by asking all these stupid questions.

So let me get this strait. Someone objects to terms that are gendered or mischaracterize a group of people or over generalize. So they then create a new term to describe a group of people that really have almost nothing in common anyway. If you genuinely object to labels that simply don't fit well then stop trying to label groups. When there is systemic racism it may be necessary to label groups for the purposes of trying to deal with the issue, but in almost all other cases creating such groups just makes systemic divisions worse. You are essentially placing people in a group based on their appearance and judging them accordingly which is inherently racist and the very same thing as you appear to be fighting against when objecting to gendered terms which similarly put people into groups for the purpose of prejudgement.

People who made latinx have no conception of how Spanish works. Latino isn’t even gendered in actuality as it’s different from English. Latino can mean he or they while latina solely refers to wahmen. Spanish is an inherently “gendered” (words ending in a ‘masculine O’ or ‘feminine A”) language because it’s a Romance language and not Germanic. By implementing the “x”, something which may make sense in the English perspective, you are being inherently ignorant of Spanish’s roots and culture by trying to shove your culture onto another’s, thereby washing away that part of a language and replacing it with your own. Doing it is actually more ignorant than politically correct/‘woke’ in that case. Normally I would be classified somewhat as one of the ‘woke’ folk by others with my world views but even I see this as absolutely stupid as a person on the wrong side of twitter.

[@willpina]

Both Latino and Hispanic are terms regarding language, not origin. Latinoamericano means that your from the American continent and you speak a Latin derived language, for instance, Spanish, Portuguese, etc. Hispanoamericano means you're from the American continent and you speak Spanish. So all Hispanic are Latinos, but not all Latinos are Hispanic. Now, if you speak Spanish, you know that while most of the times the last vowel determines the gender or nature of the word, this is not an absolute. For instance, AGUA (water) is a gender neutral word. In its singular form you add the male EL before it (el agua) in its plural for you add the female LAS before it (las aguas) Latinoamerica is the same, even though it ends with an a, the proper pronoun is EL, not LA. So Latino is actually a gender neutral term. Also, just like Latina is a female version of Latino, Latine would be a male version of Latino, so that term would not be ideal to use for a non-binary gender. In Spanish, if you want to use a genderless version and refuse to use Latino, then LATÍN, would be the best option.

[@zepedro6666]

Finally someone knows what Latino means. It means ONLY that: language origins, that's it. I'm Portuguese living in Portugal and in Europe we are referred to belong to the Latin people and everyone knows the reason for it, because of the language. In terms of races we in Europe, specially in south, have traces from various people like Greeks, Italians, North of Africa (Mahgreb), French, German, Scandinavian, a big melting pot.

Logical fallacy appeal to authority. Spain has no authority on how Latin Americans use Spanish. Just like how Americans flipped off the British by removing the u in “colour,” Latin American countries can just… ignore Spain. Also no one’s saying, “stop using gendered terms.” They literally just want a non gendered suffix to be added. I don’t see the problem with using another vowel to indicate gender neutrality. Especially considering the fact that Spanish uses “s”, just like English, to indicate plurality.

As for Latino/Latina, from what I understand there's a difference between 'masculine' language and gender identity so the term Latino is applicable to men, women and anyone else to describe a person of Latin American origin anyway. It doesn't seem many Latinos use the term 'Latinx' (which I always seem to read as 'latex'... not sure if there's anything subconscious going on there, but ok) and many seem to be annoyed by it because it doesn't have much basis in the language, and it's not a good look for left wingers in general because of this...

[@josephnolan8217]

I have asked dozens of latinos and hispanic people about this they hate it. They find the term raciist imperialism more or less. Latine makes more sense from a language perspective for non binary. However they should drive their culture not white english speakers forcing woke terminology on them. Respect other peoples culture.

You can call me any racial slur but never call me Latinx

[@iv689]

I can hear the "murica, fock yeah" over the distance... The thing with "Latinx" or "Latine" is that by placing so much emphasis on being inclusive and trying not to be racist or transphobic or whatever, you end up being... kinda racist. It is kinda like entering a room with your friends, all of them are girls, except for James. So how do you greet them? Because if you go for the inclusive route and say "Oh hi girls, AND JAMES" You think you are including James and being such a good person... but you kinda just treated James like he is Really different and just WITH the group for just some time. Instead, if you just say "Oh hi girls." You end up actually making everyone comfortable because Even Though James isn't a girl and doesn't identify as one, he is PART of the group, of wich the majority are girls, so he isn't treated as different and you don't place emphasis on him. When you don't try so hard to be the better person that proves world wrong, then you are friendly, chill, and most importantly, actually treat people well.

[@joaquinmoncada6374]

Born and raised in Mexico here. The only idiots who use these terms are certain (hyper liberal) Americans of Hispanic descent and white liberals. To the rest of Latin America, these terms do not exist (and once you explain them to us, we find them ridiculous).

[@redhedgehogocarina]

These comments. "Well everyone *I know* doesn't mind what they're called!" and "Derr, we're ALL Americans." You missed the point. Try active listening instead of launching immediately onto the defensive or be dismissive.

The problem with “Latine” though is that -e is also masculine

[@ldgam]

How so?

[@alexshane5713]

Nope, it's not. Don't spread misinformation if spanish is not your first language

[@aqualuise]

Don't go saying stuff without references, in spanish when something is femenine it ends in -a and when something is masculine it ends in -o. Ending with -e does not imply masculine

Me da pereza traducir esto, pero realmente todos los latino americanos somos descendientes de españoles, el español no se nos impuso por los conquistadores, estos tuvieron descendencia, muy variada tengo que agregar, y esa descendencia fueron los latino americanos, el termino mismo viene de el origen de la lengua romance: español, una lengua descendiente del latin (o al menos una de las muchas que se hablan en españa incluso en la actualidad) es un poco extraño, en especial los que no tienen por lengua principal/madre, creen en esta leyenda negra de lo malo que fueron los conquistadores... Cuando toda latinoamericana es descendiente de estos
