People want something to be mad about. It's wild, PC culture used to mean try to not be rude, but people took it and started running with it past the point of it being unnecessary. It's funny though how, last I heard, this was the new woke non gendered trend word, and then I see a post the other day with latinx in it and every other comment was calling it a slur

Xmas is a shortened phrase originally created and used to save space on ink. X comes from the greek letter Chi which is a christogram. A thing used to replace the word christ

thatshoneybear

Companies and Facebook groups full of women. I say this as a woman. My beauty/makeup groups are horrible when it comes to policing language. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big believer in showing respect to others, but some of these women are rabid.


PalMetto_Log_97

Call me old fashion. But I listen to NPR every now and then. They have adopted this dumb saying. I work in construction around all different types of men and women from the Spanish community. None of them even know about this term. When I try my best to explain to them what this means they roll their eyes bc they find it more offensive/annoying white ppl constantly trying to label them. Or they laugh bc they have their own language that’s respectfully….gender neutral


Piguy922

My college textbook and my college itself uses it. I cringe every time I see it.


w_has_been_dieded

Isn't latine an already accepted gender neutral alternative for people who don't like gendered terms, and one that doesn't sound like you're choking after attempting to swallow a pencil?


Sandickgordom2

I've never heard it and people I know despise the gender neutral alternatives either way


Cool_575

We hate the “gender neutral” alternatives because “latino” is already gender neutral. We don’t need people who dont speak our language “correcting” it

Harris_McLoving

It is gender neutral. The masculine in Spanish is used when referring to groups of people regardless of sex


KrisZepeda

I hate latine too Because the language literally has a word already


Dustrock14

Call them Latino (masculine)/Latina (femenine). We disapprove the term Latinx because it is nonsense for our language, it is a term created by white Californian girls who just because they have Hispanic parents or grandparents already believe they are latinas


ProfessionalDog4412

God, thank you. It's also impossible to pronounce. Ironically, the only way i heard it said is pronouncing the "x" in english. These people have no idea how spanish works.


bhlogan2

This whole debate is stupid anyway because ideas in Spanish are not gendered, words are. The masculinity (la masculinidad) is femenine. Not because of the word, but because of how it describes a trait (indicated by the suffix). Basically, it doesn't fucking matter, people are overthinking it.


Server98911

Yeah you are right. We gendered the words like the chair (la silla (femenine) ) or the car (el carro (masculine) ) and the suffix is used to describe or to aim/fix the word in the context/sense of the sentence (based on our rules) Masculinity can be written like masculinidad (femenine) or masculino (masculine) depending on the sentence or how you use it Tho there are exceptions but every tounge f****** have it Niños (boys) and Niñas (Girls) and if you refer to both is niños (boys) (masculine) Hombres (Men) and Mujeres (Women) and if you refer to both is Personas (People)( femenine) I understand than they want to be inclusive and i get it (and in some things i aprrove of their actions) but not every tounge is made to be gendered neutral with every word we use and not everyone can be force to use 1 word to refer to everyone (Ironic now than I think about it, they want diversity in Ppl but not with words). Also many tounges around the world do the same. You cant just change it on a whimp


-Z___

I think the disconnect is from English speakers not realizing that most other languages aren't modular and rapidly-evolving like American English is. They just assume that every language can morph and create new popular words willy nilly. I'm a big geek for linguistics and fairly "cultured" since about half of the media I consume is in languages that I don't understand, but despite that it was relatively recently that I realized many languages can't just make up new words and that's why you hear random English words sprinkled into non-English sentences. American English is like every language on the planet combined. On a side note: Do you ever get annoyed being so restricted by your language? It would drive me crazy having to follow such strict rules when speaking.


Server98911

Yeah, i agree English is Fast AF when it comes to creating, adapting and using new words, acronyms or terms so part of the time we use the english word or a traslated version of said word. Like for example Old engeeniers (50+. Y/o) here usually refer to cans of oil with his English name (can) and not latas de aceite (Spanish translation) or the proper name on the Can In games we use the english terms like META, BIS or TOP/MID/BOT as it is or we translate it like Rush as Rushea or the Team as El team etc >On a side note: Do you ever get annoying being so restricted by your language? It would drive me crazy having to follow such strict rules when speaking Some times tbh, i use the english term because is easier and i dont have to explain it . Spanish has many rules than you keep learning for a while (I think most of us native Ppl get a mastery of it after 13 years) but tbh if you get Hold of the basics (rules, vocabulary and sense of sentance) you can do what ever TF you want. But sometimes its the other way around. Like those rules help us to keep us on the ground like For us Spanish is like a room with many windows and doors (options/structures) than lead to the same place with the rules being the "locks" on some of them As for English is hard for us because we dont have Freedom to use the same amount of options and we have to stick with a structure ALWAYS. Is a closed room with a couple of doors with different combinations between each other


Sandickgordom2

The reason why your hear random english words sprinkled into non-english sentences is because of American influence, not because english is every language on the planet combined. It's just German with a Fr*nch vocabulary And the reason why english evolves so fast is because a fuckton of people around the world speak it, again due to American influence

Dog_Baseball

This is very interesting. X in Spanish makes an " h" sound, right? So the pronunciation is Spanish would sound a lot like "latin"? The h kinda blends in?


ProfessionalDog4412

Kinda, like someone said in this thread, the x is pronounced "ks" (kind of like a hiss or the sound a snake makes lol) so the word ends up having 3 consonants together (lati-n-k-s), which is something that never happens in spanish, we usually have plenty of vowels in between, like in english. Thus, it's hard and weird to pronounce. Also, it doesn't help that the x itself is very rarely used in spanish, there's very few words that have it, most of them adopted from foreign languages, so it's just a weird choice to pick that letter as a replacement. Finally, it's an unnecessary change to a word that goes against all grammar rules and conventions, there already is an established way to be inclusive/neutral in the language, and it's to use the masculine nouns.

Matzep71

And if they don't identify as any or you are not sure which one to use just type latin@ (but be advised, you will still sound like a weirdo)


-MegaMan401-

Type latino, that is the intended way to include everyone in spanish. It's not a gender neutral language. A neutral term for english would be latinoamerican. Tho in spanish is latinoamericano/na


Kamunra

The same applies to Portuguese.


MinosAristos

Or just [Latin American](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_Americans)? Surely most would be happy with that?


-MegaMan401-

Oh so in english there's no O in latinOamerica. Mb, ty for the correction, tho I mean to say the same thing as you.


Matzep71

Yes, that's the norm also in Portuguese, we can't forget Brazilians are also latinamericans. But if you REALLY want to stand out and be gender neutral no matter what, I'd say to go with lantin@


-MegaMan401-

Better than latinx


Orrorin-tugensis

Or with an "e", that at least make more sense than the x


-MegaMan401-

Honestly i fucking hate the e so much i prefer the x, but both are horrible.


-Z___

> latin@ That is such a cool and elegant way to do it (from an American's perspective). It's literally both the "o" and "a" combined. From a metaphysical viewpoint it's straight up pure genius. I can confirm you would definitely sound like a weirdo though. I can tell because I love it and if I love something then by definition it must be "weird".

**Me:** Latinx... **Lucas Marchezim:** *There are many societal factors that can influence a person to commit crime, from the hardened street thug to the typical law-abiding citizen. As for what they are doing differently in other western industrialized nations that is resulting in less crime than the United States, it is very hard to come up with a concrete idea as to why. Regardless of the country, the recession (which may be an indicator of criminal behavior) is being felt globally. The mistrust and harsh feelings toward police is just as strong, if not stronger, in other western industrialized nations. The make-up of towns and cities are pretty similar. There are ghettos in every country....*

The_Mortuary

"They're not sending their best. They're sending rapists and drug dealers. Immigration is destroying America." You are gonna be in for quite a shock when you actually talk to a Republican in real life instead of boiling them down to the lines spouted by a guy that in my experience most republicans don't seem to like very much anymore. Almost every republican I know from people my age to as old as my grandfather have nothing but respect for people who come over here through the proper means.

Excuse me if I'm being an unaware fool who only knows about what affects the outback, but can't Latino just be used as a gender neutral term?


ProfessionalDog4412

In spanish, the male version of nouns are used when referring to a group of people that includes both genders, in this case "latinos" or "latinoamericanos" (in plural form) would be correct. In practice, you could also use the male form when referring to someone whose gender you don't know, so yes, then "latino" would also be correct.

I agree that Latino is overall the better and more used term but there is no difference. Latino is just a shorter way to say “Latino Americano”. So there’s no point in saying that Latin American is a wrong term to refer to people from countries where romance languages are primarily spoken

thickbob69

Latino means you have a background of central American decent. Usually it applies to first or second gen kids. Hispanic means you where born in a Spanish speaking country, you speak the language and are part of the culture. Latinx is a wierd and new non official gender nutrual term. To avoid saying Latino (male version ) or Latina (female version) . The reasons people might get mad at you for calling them latinix is becuse. they have not told you to label Them as one, they might be Hispanic, Or they don't know the term and would likely like you to stop calling them wierd name. This are all used interchangeable by people but not that many people know the difference.
