The academic ivory tower has a long, storied history of creating terms that are far removed from the very communities that those terms seek to encapsulate. Latinx is no different. Yet, all new words have an introduction, and Latinx is no different on this front either.


I believe the movement goes further than just introducing a word. The goal is to de-genderize Latin derived languages

What do our resident pardians make of the failure of the latino community to embrace wokeness?


Wokeness is for deranged white SJWs like Skinned / Thor / Plaguefear. Ordinary latinos don't care about this BS

Among trans communities in Latin America, AFAIK they prefer "Latine" (pronounced la-teen-eh). "Latinx" is a term that isn't really something Spanish speakers can easily pronounce.

It's pretty white. There's already a word that isn't gendered that means the same thing - Latine. I always let white people know.

Good link to help white people understand that Laninx isn't even pronounceable in Spanish and makes them ethnic colonizers to use it.

You're woke as fuck. I regularly catch you saying white people are bad because of shit that happened ages ago. You want the police defunded and seem to think that black criminals aint criminals, also all illegal immigrants should be welcomed.

And so on :rolleyes:

I want the police defunded because i think they are corrupt enforcers for a system i want to tear down, thats not woke.
I have never said white people are bad.
The last two are not even worth a retort since you must have been sniffing bath salts.
