I used to work with this lifted-truck literally red-necked red neck. He kept going on about how hot his girl was, and how white she was.
One day he shows me her picture, and she was indeed a very hot dark skinned Latina. Some people are just in denial.
A lot of Latin American people see themselves as white and would get very offended if you suggest otherwise
Edit: Sorry I had no idea latinx was offensive
They'd certainly get offended if someone referred to them as "latinx", lol
Having had this conversation with literally 300+ hispanic people, never once has a single one had a single positive thought about "latinx". Gendered nouns is literally a large part of their language.
Yea the whole thing started and is mostly used by a fringe people who are going a tad too far with political correctness.
Mind you, I'm fine with political correctness and I'm left leaning but sometimes you can go to far.
But if someone wants to be referred to by those terms then be my guest.
Genered nouns is the backbone of so many goddamn languages. The people being offended by it are the ones that don't speak that tongue.
