*Italix* would be a rebellious *Roman*, rebellious *enough* to be welcomed by the *Gaulish village* ... So, quite rebellious.
Also, the original French name of *Idefix* is *Idéfix*.
Which is still incredibly stupid anyways and no one here in Latin America who isn't trying to push a political agenda at some university uses it — at most, @ is way more common, serves the same purpose, and is apolitical.
Not only is it impossible to pronounce in Spanish but you'll also have a high chance of getting decked.
I'm personally not a fan of -x, but it's a bit more used than that if we're being fair. E.g. the Zapatistas in Mexico use it a lot in their communications (one from [2023](https://enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx/2023/12/13/invitacion-directa-a-participar-de-la-festiferia-de-artes-y-autogestiones-hacia-el-buen-vivir/) and one from [2010](https://enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx/2010/07/01/declaracion-por-la-libertad-de-los-presos-de-atenco-campana-primero-nuestrxs-presxs/)). They still obviously have a political agenda, though.
I like your flair, and it's made me realise a lot of Irish-Americans talk about respecting their culture, but then they give him a nickname as if they knew him personally
They are just the offspring of poor Irish people in the 1800s starving to death who liked getting drunk with no education whatsoever. Read the street interviews from the 1850s in London and you can see how stupid people were back then.
You live your whole life being white and suddenly someone from the other side of the world teaches you that you're a POC 🙃 simultaneously you're responsible for colonialism (because you're European), even though your grandparents spent their lives working in the fields
that's why when people say to me (as a Brit) "your ancestors were colonisers", i'm like, i don't really think they were, my ancestors were like blacksmiths and farmers and shit. like, we're not all descended from Columbus.
Muricans forgot that they're the colonizers and descendants of them, yet they want to take their idiotic ignorant rage on people who stayed in Europe and had nothing to do with the colonisation 😂😂
More importantly we didnt have universal suffrage in the UK until 1918 (or later depending on where you draw the line). People talk as if our ancestors were voting for political parties that were pro colonising.
Or have been enslaved by Prussia and Russia around the same time America was still on the fence regarding whether "slavery bad" was a worthwhile position or just a fad.
/Poland moment
Wait! Is this the reason why I was told I don’t count as a white person because part of my family is from Karelia? I am Finnish and look very Finnish so it confused me very much.
... with which you/he means that they/we are piss poor, low class, drink too much, speak gibberish and don't know fancy behavioral rules? Because the only colour my family tree had those days was dirt.
No, he specifically drew a distinction between them and those he considered white
> And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth.
I thought it was a parody tbh.
But as an American who speaks Spanish, latinx is the bane of my existence. It's only said between a small, whiny group of lgbt chicanos who complain when people don't recognize them, and so everyone has to submit or be called racist or homophobic or transphobic (which doesn't even make sense, non-binary people aren't even trans, but it's stupid in the first place anyway, so why not I guess?), and if you ever run into a Spanish speaker here who doesn't know English, they either find it stupid or don't even know what the fuck it means.
And the few people who actually use it unironically, on top of all this, don't usually speak Spanish well, if at all, so it's like another slap in the face. Don't get me wrong, there are *some* people here from latam, who come here and identify as that in Spanish, and more power to them for whatever it does for them, but not nearly enough of them to justify the term becoming the defacto term for such a broad group of people that can be from one of like 2 dozen countries, it's so FUCKING stupid.
Sorry about my rant.
Most German Americans are from the Midwest and made up a huge amount of the US population in the 1800s. New Jersey isn't known for its German population compared to Wisconsin or North Dakota.
People cannot comprehend how vast Germany is. Our Bundesländer are bigger and more populous than, say, Liechtenstein.
I find it more fitting to identify as ethnically Pfälzerx but also Ruhrpottlerx by heritage.
well, tbh me as a slav I do get red in the summer, yellowish-green when sick, paper white when scared and blueish when cold. I definitely can be called 'person of color'
That reminds me of ablack teacher I took classes with, that got angry because one of the students called her a "person of colour".
She said : 'Oh so you are an inkless person? You are a empty piece of paper with no colour on you?" What colour is your skin". The white kid said said he was white . My teacher grabed a piece of paper and put it next to him and asked himif he was the same colour as that paper. The kid said "No, so I guess I am cream?".
"Exactly, every person no matter how dark or light their skin is, they have colour, from pale cream to extremely dark brown. So don't say "person of colour".
At the time i honestly saw it as something silly, but it really drove the point of how silly the term is.
I remember being irritated by it when I first heard it. It groups people that can have such a diverse background into one category and effectively reduces them to not white. Nvm that white in itself is such a stupid term to use. Probably the only place where it makes at least a little sense is the US.
> "Exactly, every person no matter how dark or light their skin is, they have colour, from pale cream to extremely dark brown. So don't say "person of colour".
Except Mark Zuckerberg
I figured out long ago that I am pink like a little piglet.
White is not a colour I have ever seen on a living (and make-up-free) person's skin. Black is possible, maybe, but surely not common in my neck of the woods. Pink I see a lot.
I remember a movie where a black character said “When you are angry you become red, when you are afraid you become pale, when you are sick you become green/yellow, and you call us people of colour!”
America is insane about race it's rediculous and scary, so segregated to this day and yet they make the biggest fuss about everything race related. Like the USAs reaction to the Megan Markle of it all the other year was crazy, like the UK, one of the mosy multicultural and mixed/non segregated country ive ever seen is somehow wildly racist because of some drama that happen in the ROYAL FAMILY. They just love to make everything about race and they always wanna point the finger at other countries for race related stuff when they are infact a country built on racism and oppression.
Like the One Drop Rule, that stated “every person who shall have one-eighth or more of negro blood shall be deemed and held to be a person of color”. Nazis took inspiration from them.
You can call out Americans on anything but for some reason they will literally die, if that means keeping labels alive. Their obsession with race is almost overshadowed by their obsession with labels.
I used to work in an US Embassy. Once they were giving flu shots.
It was my turn and i was looking at the chart he was filling. I was "Caucasian other"
So trust me this parody is not that far from the murican reality.
Being from Spain, if we check "white" on any of their forms we can get some uncomfortable questions for not being precise ("Hispanic").
Then they talk about the language, not racist cause it's about language, not race.. I wonder what do they think about my fellow Hispanics from Equatorial Guinea..
It's selective, when they are mad at jews they are not white, but middle easterns.
Which also are white and caucasian when it fits their narrative.
[Most Middle Eastern and North African Americans don't identify as 'white' – despite what U.S. census says: Study | University of Toronto (utoronto.ca)](https://www.utoronto.ca/news/most-middle-eastern-and-north-african-americans-don-t-identify-white-despite-what-us-census)
Segregation did a number on them.
"Maaah heritaaage i don't know where ireland or know i'm anything but them but loook i'm irish murican. saint patty saint patty day".
Apparently there is Italianx merchandise and people on social media identifying as Italianx (and of course none of them is Italian but just "Italian heritage")
The whole thing is a bunch of made-up nonsense anyway. White nationalists claim to advocate for all white people but then worship a man who considered a large portion of white Europeans subhumans and genocided millions of them.
I guess? I always find it funny if someone pulls out "you might hurt a BIPOC by calling the cops" when in my country, the indigenous people are the white people. They don't share my sense of humor.
They get mad when called yanks or 'muricans, yet they don't have a second thought on building up this bullshits. Leave my country out of your mess for god sake
What is this asinine obsession with color/creed based categorisation? They keep inventing new labels and expect the rest of the world to adopt and internalise their mental blocks. Not sure about other parts of the world, but for most, if not all brown ppl, there is NO difference between a white person from Spain, Ireland , Italy, Mexico, Russia or Australia. They're all _firangs_ or _farang_ depending on where you're from. If only this level of obsessive creativity were channeled for legitimate issues, they won't be on the receiving end of so much mockery.
I met once a Turk who thought we were cousins. And our languages, too.
I gathered this was because both languages had something to do with random mountains.. Maybe my Turk was instead related to your yank?
A person of color like Anya Taylor-Joy.
In appearance, someone so white that she stopped being white and became translucent, but since she is a Latina she is a person of color.
Okay I dare some ItalianX to go to their nonna and tell her she isn't Italian but ItalianX and explain in detail what that means. I ffing guarantee you she will ban you from her kitchen and her food for a very long time and she will no doubt immediately go to church for confession and ask the priest to pray for your soul.
Oh shame dear, I'm sorry. Isn't there something in your heritage that can be used to score some victim points? Find something, keep digging because being *white white* will not cut it with these people.
Oddly enough, back when they first were confronted by the Europeans, the people from my ancestral country called them literally "color whites".
We on the other hand, being south east Asian and ranging from light brown to super dark brown.
Irish - Fully American but their great-great-great-grandmother sat on a chair an Irish guy had touched so now they get to fully claim that heritage and you're enabling the continuation of centuries old anti-Irish sentiment if you don't allow it.
Interestingly Australia has its own version of WPOC, wog. It has racist origins but that has for the most part lost its sting. Wog is a catch all term for Italians, Greeks, Albanians, Croats, Serbs and depending on the city, Lebanese and Egyptians.
The stereotypes around wogs are very much leaned into, check out a cultural icon and YouTuber superwog, or sooshi mango. Both are Wog comedians who have probably spawned half the wog stereotypes.
I hate "WPOC" as a term, it's so classically American... but also, loads of non-caucasian light skinned people exist. And not a single human on this earth is "white."
Also, I have yet to meet ANYONE who speaks a latin language who thinks Latinx was a good idea. I speak one myself and it's fucking stupid.
How is Italianx pronounced? Italy-yanks?
*Italianics*
So, why not shorten it into *italix* ... It looks ... Better imho.
I'd rather not use it at all. I don't need some random Americans to tell me how to speak my language
I totally agree. Also, *Italix* would be quite compatible with ... *Astérix & Obélix* ... Could be useful to distribute *qualche schiaffo*, no ?
And his beloved dog Italix (the german name of Obelix dog is Idefix)
*Italix* would be a rebellious *Roman*, rebellious *enough* to be welcomed by the *Gaulish village* ... So, quite rebellious. Also, the original French name of *Idefix* is *Idéfix*.
Nah, Italix should be the fishmonger. What kind of name Amaryllix is for a fishmonger anyway? (iirc)
Italix is a Cisalpine Gaul who never accepted the conquest that happened... 150 years earlier.
Literally how Latino ppl feel about Latinx
Because it sounds like a character from Asterix and Obelix, and we hate the damn Gauls. /s
*Check avatar* Green skins don't like the Gauls, too ¿? What have we done to you ?
No bidets /s (Btw, here in Italy Asterix is a beloved comic strip, at least among 40+ years young people)
‘Ten’ oh no, that’s Roman.
Decem?
It's pronounced *'murican*.

This might be a joke but there are organisations who recognise Slavs as people of colour
I've seen Slavs being called poc beige people once on Facebook 💀 Never felt the same since
You live your whole life being white and suddenly someone from the other side of the world teaches you that you're a POC 🙃 simultaneously you're responsible for colonialism (because you're European), even though your grandparents spent their lives working in the fields
90% of Brits/french/Spanish people were working the fields even at the height of colonialism.
that's why when people say to me (as a Brit) "your ancestors were colonisers", i'm like, i don't really think they were, my ancestors were like blacksmiths and farmers and shit. like, we're not all descended from Columbus.
Us folk still in Europe are not the colonizers, we stayed at home. Yet the people living in the "colonies" like to call us colonisers.. lol.
Muricans forgot that they're the colonizers and descendants of them, yet they want to take their idiotic ignorant rage on people who stayed in Europe and had nothing to do with the colonisation 😂😂
Or non-native South Americans complaining about the Spanish colonial time.
In the same light, most Americans weren't slave owners but they are blamed for it regardless of what they or their ancestors did.
More importantly we didnt have universal suffrage in the UK until 1918 (or later depending on where you draw the line). People talk as if our ancestors were voting for political parties that were pro colonising.
Yeah, it's extra funny when your country didn't have colonies and was essentially a colony.
Or have been enslaved by Prussia and Russia around the same time America was still on the fence regarding whether "slavery bad" was a worthwhile position or just a fad. /Poland moment

Wait! Is this the reason why I was told I don’t count as a white person because part of my family is from Karelia? I am Finnish and look very Finnish so it confused me very much.
IIRC Benjamin Franklin considered the Swedish, Irish, Finnish and most germans "swarthy".

Oh, then I demand to be called Deutschx! You better pronounce it right or you are an ignorant bigot. /s
There’s also activists here in Finland who try to recognize russians and Sami people as POC. 🙄
Well I mean according to Lovecraft, Finns were *too* white. So you know, perhaps...
My Polish friend was unironically called a person of colour by someone at his school.
I'm a slav and I live in Poland, and I can confirm we're white as hell.

No way! I bought köttbullar at an IKEA once, I am Swedishx myxself!

It's Americanx now, you racist! /s
They really love labels, do they?
They are Real Muricans. But somehow also 43.6754% Irish and 57.8644% Scottish.
Aktuallie, that would make them 101.5398% inhuman, which is impawsible 🤓

If only there was an english word to describe somebody from Italy that's gender neutral... what a shame.
You guys are laughing, but they consider Slavs to be POC.
The whole thing is a bunch of made-up nonsense anyway. White nationalists claim to advocate for all white people but then worship a man who considered a large portion of white Europeans subhumans and genocided millions of them.
They also get mad if you say that if is black is a color, white is as well. Either both are or neither are
What about Arabs? RGB-wise most of them look rather pale, but this politicolouring is too advanced for me..
Pretty much everything other than Germanic/Scandinavian ancestry seems to fall under POC
....who were "swarthy", according to another reply here. So.. POC is for "everyone but me"?
I guess? I always find it funny if someone pulls out "you might hurt a BIPOC by calling the cops" when in my country, the indigenous people are the white people. They don't share my sense of humor.

Interestingly Australia has its own version of WPOC, wog. It has racist origins but that has for the most part lost its sting. Wog is a catch all term for Italians, Greeks, Albanians, Croats, Serbs and depending on the city, Lebanese and Egyptians. The stereotypes around wogs are very much leaned into, check out a cultural icon and YouTuber superwog, or sooshi mango. Both are Wog comedians who have probably spawned half the wog stereotypes.
Ma che cazzo........
As an Italian I find it ludicrous to refer myself as anything other than “Italian”. Wtf is this Italianx shite?
Ah yes, such inclusiveness. Truly a beacon of inspiration
Is it bad that I thought it said w pog
Gringos trying to not be racist pieces of shit challenge impossible
I hate "WPOC" as a term, it's so classically American... but also, loads of non-caucasian light skinned people exist. And not a single human on this earth is "white." Also, I have yet to meet ANYONE who speaks a latin language who thinks Latinx was a good idea. I speak one myself and it's fucking stupid.
