As others have said in this thread, it wasn't created by white people. That's why I'm saying this is inflammatory.

- oaththrowaway 4y agoRegardless of who created it, I've never seen a non-white person use it. My wife is Hispanic, and it has been offensive to her and her family.
- QuercusMax 4y agoBut why is it so offensive? All I see is knee-jerk reactions giving supposed racist motives to the term, when it's been established that this term originated with native Spanish speakers! I personally think that choosing 'x' was a poor choice, and it's basically unpronounceable by everyone in both Spanish and English. But making up supposed racist origins is a bit much.

Do you have a credible source for this claim? All I’ve ever seen are vague assertions it originated “organically” in the early 2000s.
- freitzkriesler2 4y agoBS its origins are unknown. You have no idea who made it.
