Which one do you like and preferred to be classified as?
I am Brazilian and I just really don’t care, I am not considered Hispanic, but I am considered Latino, depending on who you ask anyhow, but for me any X to substitute the gender defining letter in a word makes it sound really awkward, I know some people here started doing so recently, but it always be weird for me, for better or worst.
who cares
lucitanian!
Lantinx sounds like a Mexican cyborg.
Latinx sounds like a chick off Winx Club lmao.
I mean, wouldn’t that be the Portuguese though? The thing about Brazilians is that we are basically a mixture of a bunch of different people since so many immigrants came here during the 19th and 20th century.
And also, I hail from the South of Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul, and we got a LOT more Spanish influence than the other regions due to our close proximity to Hispanic countries such Argentina and Uruguay, we are even called Gauchos after all, a name that is shared with our border neighbors though with a slightly different meaning.
Not only Brazilians, Latin America is incredibly mixed, Europeans, Africans, natives, all mixed to a greater or lesser extent, but mixed.
Who comes up with these strange terms to call a whole “minority” of people?
Latin works fine if you can’t see them or are unsure.
Those who would rule the world. That is, if the rest of us weren’t in the way.
I’ll be a latinx! Not quite sure what any of them mean but that one sounds the coolest.
Yes but how would you pronounce it? It still sounds feminine pronouncing it like “Latinex” and saying it like “Latin X” sounds asinine and the letter X doesn’t mesh well with the Latin tongue.
How about we don’t change the way an entire language works to fit our political agendas?
Logic and reason on my forum? How dare you sir, how dare you. I demand you cater to my made up pronouns or you are a bigot and a racist. I am a proud LoafianXer and don’t you forget it.
Don’t mind Latix-Ex sound too much haha. Makes me sound like a bad boyfriend though
I’ve never understood why you wouldn’t just say latin over latinx?
yeah idk the whole story behind that but there must be a reason
Probably to make themselves stand out more or assert more of a smaller group identity than the norm.
(just a guess though)
Latino and latina only includes men and women , the x is for latin people that identified as anythinf else but that was taught to me by a white person. So need hispanic people point of view.
