As a Hispanic PoC person, I agree 100% with you about LatinX. It's the result of white people with a high school understanding of Spanish trying to fix a language they really don't understand. The Spanish language is not broken and does not need to be fixed.
- gowld 4y agoHigh School Spanish teaches gender quite clearly. It's a major aspect of education, since it's the biggest difference from English. > The Spanish language is not broken and does not need to be fixed. Latinx is an English word. English words are not necesarily gendered, and English linguistic culture has evolved away from gendered nouns. "Latine" is better for English, though. https://theconversation.com/stop-using-latinx-if-you-really-want-to-be-inclusive-189358 https://theconversation.com/stop-using-latinx-if-you-really-...
- readthenotes1 4y agoNot broken? La mano??? Seriously, I would be surprised if there is not a broken spoken language. English is completely messed up. I don't know how anyone learns it.
- stemlord 4y agoI was going to say. Americans should be focused on fixing English first. Lol.
- readthenotes1 4y agoEven if the English were to fix English, Americans would still reject the changes.
- stemlord 4y agoLol, probably.
- nunez 4y agothe funny thing is that while Spanish is very gendered, Latina women will say that they are Latina just as easily as I can say I am Latino.
- ashwagary 4y agoAfter learning the term was unpopular I paid closer attention to its users and found many were white latin American public figures. Why do you think they may have adopted it?
