The reason why I find "Latinx" insulting and condescending is because the word was made by the American anglosphere to use it to describe us Hispanics and Latin-Americans by TAKING ONE OF OUR OWN WORDS and changing an article where we can't even use it in our own languages. It's simply plain American arrogance and Anglo-superiority over the Hispanosphere.

that's not quite right. Latino means a man or a group of people with at least one man present. The gender neutral already exists--"I am Latin", no need for this silly word to be spoken.

Having lived in AZ & Los Angeles I never heard the term and last summer heard a Hispanic man ask that reporters & others stop using it. So I've never used it & hearing it rubs me wrong. .
I prefer "Mexicana" because that is my nationality, even though I have a dual citizenship (Mexico/USA) but in general "Latino" works for me. Latinx is not my choice, I find it imposing, just another label, not who I am. Besides, what does gender identity has to do with nationality/ethnicity/lgbtq?????? Come on people!
@Agueda Palacios would “Latina” do also? (if female) I personally use the term “Latin” for everything hispanic, myself, my race, my culture even for the Mexican-Spanish lenguaje since I dont like how the spanish from Spain sounds (castellano) kinda like a short for everything “Latinoamericano”

It's funny how Jonathan Jayes-Green speaks for all latinos about inclusion and somehow made it all about himself. The issue with Latinx is a discoursive issue that is happening mostly in the English Language. Mr Jayes-Green doesn't seem to care (specially after seeing his arrogant attitude) that the vast majority of latinos don't speak English, don't care about and are not affected by what's happening with this matter, and, certainly, don't even know of or use the term Latinx. Most of us use Latinoamericano, or sudamericano, for instance, since the term "American" has been so erroneously used to refer only to the US and that is wrong (notice how he didn't even mention that). Also, Mr. Jayes-Green makes it all about himself and his interests first by completely ignoring the very basis of the issue, lingüistics (grammar,), not LGBTQI issues (and I'm part of the community, btw). Also, they made no reference to the difference between the terms Latino and Hispanic, they mean different things that can go together, but are not intercheangable for some people. Did they bother to ask Brazilians, indigenous non-spanish speaking people or others how they feel about this? No. So no, Latinx is a terrible option to call people from Latin America. Just call us Latin Americans, end of.
It is a GOP tactic to confuse the LBGTX issue with the issue of Latino/Hispanic. Divide and conquer. And we liberal suckers love to be divided and conquered.

Coz some gringos just can't cant seem to grasp the concept that there are other languages out there with different linguistic features aside from their own.

Don't label all Democrats like this, I myself am on the left an i strongly am opposed to the term Latinx. I think it's great they want to include everyone but they are using it with an english point of view rather then a Latino one. Please don't try to group us all together like that.
"Latino/Latina" and "Hispanic" are umbrella terms. Umbrella terms are no longer umbrella terms when you start specifying specific groups - fantasy is a part of fiction, not separate from it. "Latinx" also ruins the phonetics of Spanish. _The music of the language._ It's not "gender conforming". Even inanimate objects are given gendered -o/s and -a/s endings, although it is inherently understood that these objects are not tied to the genders assigned to them. For example, when someone says “los cubanos” an English speaker may instinctively interpret this as “the male Cubans,” but a Spanish speaker simply hears “the Cubans.” This applies to French and German as well - you don't hear "die Pizza" and "la pizza" to then translate them as "the female pizza." That's the issue (among others) with "Latinx". Just because a language is gendered does not inherently tie objects (pizzas) and groups (athletes) to gender norms. A basic misconception that people unfamiliar to gendered languages make is "masculine" and "feminine", and then thinking gender neutral forms must be added, when both masculine and feminine forms of the word are gender neutral by their very nature - it's just how the word fits in phonetically. Umbrella terms like "humanity", "athletes", et cetera do not need gender neutral variations because the word itself already includes people all across the spectrum as long as they meet the criteria (all humans fall under the term "humanity" whereas those who participate in sporting events can fit in with the term "athlete").
Yeah, please don't ever refer to me as LatinX. I'm Latina (Mexican American) and I'd much rather be called a Mexican American. And yes, Spanish was my first language.
"Latin X" does sound offensive........my cultural cousins aren't "X" meha......its Latin, Spanish,.& Chicanos the proper way to described a culture of great rich people. I live on the East Coast & majority of Spanish we live among is Puerto Ricans, Afro Cubans, some South Americans & Dominicans....over the years we getting more Mexian Chicanos migrating to the East Coast cities now......even all these wonderful people like or use the term LatinX......My Escuela always taught me to stand strong & be proud of your culture but also love everybody equally.......so lets get rid of the X keep it Latin........♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Not going to lie, that "some folks have all the feelings" felt *HELLA* *condescending* I, a Latina desperate to have this conversation, was so excited to hear it finally being brought up - and that statement felt like an immediate dismissal. Really yucky. Unfortunate.
I refuse to use the term Latinex other than to object to it (sounds too much like windex or kotex). My objection is that the Hispanic community, which is still waiting for their turn at being flavor of the month, is used as a repository for terminology that didn’t initiate in the Hispanic community. We are being used as fodder for other causes, without compensation. We didn’t choose the term “people of color,” because we believe that White is also a color, just like 20% of the white Latino community. Most Latinos self-identify with their ancestral homeland first before they say American. (Irishman and Italian are also self-identity terms used by other Americans.) Now we get hit with Latinex which is a reductionist term, consistent with the modern common urge to abbreviate every fifth word or to use acronyms. Most other ethnic communities would revolt if you applied an outsider term to their community. Rather than to explore who we are, we get hit with a label of convenience and placed in a cupboard till needed again for somebody else’s battles.
"Latin-Ex" is not in any Spanish language dictionary that I am aware of, now or 40 years ago when I learned to speak it. It does not sound anything like the musical espanol that rolls off the tongue that we all know and love. It hurts my ears to hear it. No one in my spanish-speaking barrio uses it. "Latinos" is a legitimate spanish word and has no gender connotation one way or the other. Que vivan los hispanohablantes!
@@L._Diaz Spock said it but Stalin said it first. When he justifyed starving 34 million ukranians to death in the early 1930's, to justify feeding russian communists.
I think it's a little silly for news media (or anyone) to use the term Latinx to describe Latinos when that's not the word that most Latinos and Hispanics use to describe themselves.
What's the big deal if people don't want to this word? The Spanish language has been around for a long time, significantly longer than the "issue" of inclusive language. If spanish cultures don't want to adopt it, it's their choice.
I will never use Latinx to refer to myself. Just like the gentlemen on the right feels that Latino excludes them, I feel the word Latinx excludes me. I hate the word.
I went to a Mexican restaurant and ordered a burritX, tacXs, rice, beans, and a tortillx....... just kidding of course. This whole thing sounds silly....
I am of Diné ancestry and it really irks me when Native/Indigenous/Aboriginal peoples are called “Indians.” We are not from India and are not the end result of Columbus’s miscalculation. Furthermore , we are not a monolithic people and identify through tribal affiliations and clans/kinships. To be clear, I am only speaking for myself but I believe it is important to use the names and terms peoples identify themselves with.
People from India are not called 'Indians', they are called Indiërs. This is a common mistake and because it's so common, you will see that they are usually defined as East-Indians to separate them from the native people of continental America. Native races from continental America are called Indians. Naturally the natives of that continent would have never been called Indians in the first place of Columbus hadn't sailed in the wrong direction, thinking he arrived in the Indies and had found Indiërs and people hadn't mistakenly began calling these people Indians.
I literally have never really remember hearing this term until maybe 6 or 8 months ago...so when I saw this I clicked to get some more insight...B'cus I've been like what is the X?
"Hey people from outside of my country minding your own business, I will call you by this weird 4ss term whether you like it or not because I know what's better for you and your people. See you guys bye!"
We always had a gender neutral term in English. Its Latin. For example: Latin America. When speaking in English, the use of Latinx is unnecessary. While on the topic, The term was coined by the French to group a region on the Western Hemisphere where the primary languages are based in Latin due to colonialism. (Spanish, Portuguese, French) this is not a racial, ethnic description of the region just linguistic.
The term "Latin America" / "Latino/a" is actually NOT South American in origin. The "Latin America" label, as a concept, was created out of thin air by the French in the 1800s.
Im alright if you personally wanna be called Latinx but, somos Latinos and I don't know how I feel about someone who doesn't know Spanish saying we all need to be called this.

You are absolutely correct. Mono lingual English speakers have nothing to say about Spanish. They Need to butt out.
I find it insulting that they want to control our language
Colonials are at it again trying to tell us how to be more like them.
The reason why I find "Latinx" insulting and condescending is because the word was made by the American anglosphere to use it to describe us Hispanics and Latin-Americans by TAKING ONE OF OUR OWN WORDS and changing an article where we can't even use it in our own languages. It's simply plain American arrogance and Anglo-superiority over the Hispanosphere.
By American anglosphere you mean white leftists. Don't lump all of us American's with this stupidity.
Woah, that’s deep,🤔😳
It wasn't the Anglo! It's BLM! AND the Dems! Lots of people have figured it out!! BLM is also behind a campaign to erase the Natives and Méxicans, claiming they are the Americas Natives, all over social media! It's BLM!!

This is utterly *_RIDICULOUS._* As the man said, "latino" is meant as term used to identify ethnic background, *_NOT_* gender or sexual preference/identification.
The term is *_ALREADY_* "all inclusive" because it refers to *_EVERYONE_* of latino heritage/lineage, regardless. This is just pointless, useless, baseless and trivial nonsense by sjw's who *_THINK_* they're doing latinos a "favor" but in reality, it's a disservice, it's disrespectful and to top it off - *_INSULTING._*
Rite on , I was born in PR and after 26 years living in Fl and with a mixed family I have learn to tell ppl that I’m an American citizen born in PR and nothing less , in their mind they can call me whatever they want Latino, Spanish, brown , minority or whatever, in person they can ask me respectfully what I prefer to b called and I’ll answer respectfully depending on the perceived energy of the person and we smile and move on
that's not quite right. Latino means a man or a group of people with at least one man present. The gender neutral already exists--"I am Latin", no need for this silly word to be spoken.
Let's just call it what it is. Racist and colonizing..

Just stick with Latinos, it is sounds nicer and cleaner: Leave the Latin X for the X-rated Latino adult film stores
Having lived in AZ & Los Angeles I never heard the term and last summer heard a Hispanic man ask that reporters & others stop using it. So I've never used it & hearing it rubs me wrong. .

Only condescending white people use that term lol
It offensive to us and they know better.
Its racist.

I prefer "Mexicana" because that is my nationality, even though I have a dual citizenship (Mexico/USA) but in general "Latino" works for me. Latinx is not my choice, I find it imposing, just another label, not who I am. Besides, what does gender identity has to do with nationality/ethnicity/lgbtq?????? Come on people!

It's funny how Jonathan Jayes-Green speaks for all latinos about inclusion and somehow made it all about himself. The issue with Latinx is a discoursive issue that is happening mostly in the English Language. Mr Jayes-Green doesn't seem to care (specially after seeing his arrogant attitude) that the vast majority of latinos don't speak English, don't care about and are not affected by what's happening with this matter, and, certainly, don't even know of or use the term Latinx. Most of us use Latinoamericano, or sudamericano, for instance, since the term "American" has been so erroneously used to refer only to the US and that is wrong (notice how he didn't even mention that). Also, Mr. Jayes-Green makes it all about himself and his interests first by completely ignoring the very basis of the issue, lingüistics (grammar,), not LGBTQI issues (and I'm part of the community, btw). Also, they made no reference to the difference between the terms Latino and Hispanic, they mean different things that can go together, but are not intercheangable for some people. Did they bother to ask Brazilians, indigenous non-spanish speaking people or others how they feel about this? No. So no, Latinx is a terrible option to call people from Latin America. Just call us Latin Americans, end of.
It is a GOP tactic to confuse the LBGTX issue with the issue of Latino/Hispanic. Divide and conquer. And we liberal suckers love to be divided and conquered.

The Romance languages are all gendered, and their speakers have never been bothered by this. How is it my business, as a speaker of a Germanic language, to tell speakers of other languages how to speak? Besides, I wouldn’t like it if a Latino told me I should call myself a gringx.

@@Scrublorrdo Were your ancestors Italian? Do you speak Latin?.. Why do you refer to yourself as Latino?
If anybody ever calls me Latinx in public, I’m going to correct them and ask them to not do it again. I don’t like it.
"Latino/Latina" and "Hispanic" are umbrella terms. Umbrella terms are no longer umbrella terms when you start specifying specific groups - fantasy is a part of fiction, not separate from it.
"Latinx" also ruins the phonetics of Spanish. _The music of the language._ It's not "gender conforming". Even inanimate objects are given gendered -o/s and -a/s endings, although it is inherently understood that these objects are not tied to the genders assigned to them.
For example, when someone says “los cubanos” an English speaker may instinctively interpret this as “the male Cubans,” but a Spanish speaker simply hears “the Cubans.” This applies to French and German as well - you don't hear "die Pizza" and "la pizza" to then translate them as "the female pizza."
That's the issue (among others) with "Latinx". Just because a language is gendered does not inherently tie objects (pizzas) and groups (athletes) to gender norms. A basic misconception that people unfamiliar to gendered languages make is "masculine" and "feminine", and then thinking gender neutral forms must be added, when both masculine and feminine forms of the word are gender neutral by their very nature - it's just how the word fits in phonetically.
Umbrella terms like "humanity", "athletes", et cetera do not need gender neutral variations because the word itself already includes people all across the spectrum as long as they meet the criteria (all humans fall under the term "humanity" whereas those who participate in sporting events can fit in with the term "athlete").
It's a dumb concept.
Dude is fuming with hate 😭😂

@@do-beebrothers2550 take that nonsense somewhere else. And take whatever meds you may have missed this morning too.
I refuse to use the term Latinex other than to object to it (sounds too much like windex or kotex). My objection is that the Hispanic community, which is still waiting for their turn at being flavor of the month, is used as a repository for terminology that didn’t initiate in the Hispanic community. We are being used as fodder for other causes, without compensation. We didn’t choose the term “people of color,” because we believe that White is also a color, just like 20% of the white Latino community. Most Latinos self-identify with their ancestral homeland first before they say American. (Irishman and Italian are also self-identity terms used by other Americans.) Now we get hit with Latinex which is a reductionist term, consistent with the modern common urge to abbreviate every fifth word or to use acronyms. Most other ethnic communities would revolt if you applied an outsider term to their community. Rather than to explore who we are, we get hit with a label of convenience and placed in a cupboard till needed again for somebody else’s battles.
"Latin-Ex" is not in any Spanish language dictionary that I am aware of, now or 40 years ago when I learned to speak it. It does not sound anything like the musical espanol that rolls off the tongue that we all know and love. It hurts my ears to hear it. No one in my spanish-speaking barrio uses it. "Latinos" is a legitimate spanish word and has no gender connotation one way or the other. Que vivan los hispanohablantes!

I am of Diné ancestry and it really irks me when Native/Indigenous/Aboriginal peoples are called “Indians.” We are not from India and are not the end result of Columbus’s miscalculation. Furthermore , we are not a monolithic people and identify through tribal affiliations and clans/kinships. To be clear, I am only speaking for myself but I believe it is important to use the names and terms peoples identify themselves with.
People from India are not called 'Indians', they are called Indiërs. This is a common mistake and because it's so common, you will see that they are usually defined as East-Indians to separate them from the native people of continental America. Native races from continental America are called Indians. Naturally the natives of that continent would have never been called Indians in the first place of Columbus hadn't sailed in the wrong direction, thinking he arrived in the Indies and had found Indiërs and people hadn't mistakenly began calling these people Indians.
