@FlowerTower lol okay but us latin women don’t feel that way at all. It’s like when a teacher says, “guys, settle down!”. The girls understand its a blanket term.

@Nathy Nice I’m genuinly asking, where did you hear that? I am portuguese and we have never identified with the term Latino (or, at least, never met anyone here that does).

@Nathy Nice Latino only refers to Latin Americans, it has for ages. You are using falsehoods to argue with someone who misunderstood the original question. The original comment is talking about the LANGUAGES, not the nations.

Just use latine. It's easier to say and some people from that group are already using it. Latinx just sounds like like a disease or chemical.

@FlowerTower I think we should just abolish languages with genders. No more French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Hindi, .... Pretty much, let's just have everyone speak English :) maybe Chinese tho!

I'm Afrolatina & it literally doesn't bother me. I'm not sure why its so triggering for everyone. No one said other countries have to do it.

@FlowerTower if you don’t care, then just say the word as it is intended in the Spanish language

Just stop saying latinx it's stupid. Spanish is a gender based language so forcing a gender neutral term is just plain stupid.

I’m latina and I live in South America and I think that’s an inclusive term, only people that are bothered by inclusive terms are sexist/homophobic people. No reasonable person would be offended by an inclusive term lol

@FlowerTower bud the word "latina" exists for a reason. Just call the men Latinos and the women Latinas if you want to be as respectful as possible.
