Nah, Latino is a word that springs from spanish. It isn’t actually an English word, it just got borrowed.
So, not only was the word co-opted from Latino people, the crazy crackers decided that they could ignore the objections of Latinos to the change to their words. That’s as opposed to the not-crazy crackers that know better than to fuck around with someone else’s internal labels
Seriously my dude, if you don’t know any latinos well enough to ask about this kind of thing, you’re missing out. My best friend’s husband is Nicaraguan, and he’ll do this half hour long rant in spanglish about it that is impressive in both scope and venom. And you don’t even wanna hear his mom go off about it! She gets mean lol.
Latinx is hated by the majority of Hispanic people because it’s unpronounceable in Spanish, so you can drop that one.
(Am Hispanic ftr, despise the term)
Ok but it’s not a Spanish term. Do they also complain about all the other English words that exist?
Not that I support latinx, but that’s a pretty lame excuse to be against it
