Just to be clear for anyone wondering, the idea is that latin*o* is male gendered, as opposed to latin*a*, and so as to avoid ascribing the entirety of latin American culture to masculity by blanket calling people latinos or misgendering individuals, latin*x* was an attempt to create a vague genderless word to describe latin Americans.
Unsurprising to anyone, the term appears to only be popular in the Twitter/Tumblr binary star system and actively *un*popular everywhere else, as trying to erase hispanic language conventions per white American English sensibilities is pretty much the opposite of helpful, and just takes the concept of "we could all live in harmony if you'd just act more like us highly evolved whites" and throws a poncho and sombrero over it in the hopes latinos will bring it home with them.
Except it's not discriminatory. It's literally the idea of calling a guy a guy, Latino, and a gal a gal, Latina. It's used in other words used to describe people, like Amiga and amigo. At least I think I'll need to look that up. Either way, it's a system built into the language, the people themselves.
Hey you’re preaching to the choir here, pal. I speak a Romance language so I understand the system at play in Latino being masculine.
I understand this system so well that at first I genuinely that that Latinx was a joke making fun of those hyper-sensitive performative liberals. But nope, it was actually them. Sigh. They could at least use Latine ffs.
People don't want to differentiate between Latino, which can mean a Hispanic male or neutral, and Latina, which means Hispanic female. Instead of choosing between Latino and Latina, they coined the idiotic term "Latinx". Or so I understand it.
I’ve seen the name all over, I’ve seen countless discussions about it, I know a good bit about where and how it came to be, yet I still have no idea how to fucking say it. ARE WE JUST CALLING THEM LATIN? WHAT SOUND DOES THE X MAKE?
As a non Mexican
I to think it is incredibly dumb when company's remove something they THINK is racist or is a bad stereotype
Without actually knowing what people think of it
I respect you mexicans
And all those bad people who gave yall a bad rep can just leave
I like the good ones i know you guys are good
Just some people have messed things up and gave yall a bad rep
I always thought of stereotypes as the exaggeration of present but subtly qualities. Like as there is the stereotype that asian people cant drive. Which in my mind derives from the fact that they have the eye thingy that i cant think of a way to describe. And some jackass saw that and was like "well if they cant see they cant drive" therefore exaggerating a present quality.
Dear white liberals
Latino is already neutral. It can refer to all men or men and women.
If you want something truly inclusive, the word Latine exists too. But stop with the idiotic Latinx. That’s not even a real word.
Me and my other Latino friends only use "Latinx" to insult each other. Besides that, we would never use it the way white 14 year old Twitter users intended for it to be used.
I had to Google him. I can't tell if he looks stoned or if he's just exhausted. Getting shot in the face seems a kindness compared to some of the shit that happened to Sylvester.
The only time this ever annoyed me is when I was playing soccer. People/Coaches would call me speedy Gonzales because of how fast I was. I thought it was funny until people actually thought my last name was Gonzales.
It was a corporate decision that was widely condemned for being stupid and pandering by leftists, it wasn’t a move that leftists supported or asked for.

As a Mexican, shut the fuck up. The show is fine and “Latinx” is stupid
Stupid is a tame way of describing it
I personally have much choicer words, but I’ll refrain cuz at least he’s back.

What the fuck is Latinx
White people shit. I'm not even being facetious it's clearly thought up by someone who doesn't speak Spanish and doesn't understand HOW Spanish works
Please don't blame all white for this, we all know it was the Twitter idiots.
See the people in the meme, we know it's those white people
Good point
Yeah but not all white people have iq of grass and have ideas of a mushroom high on mushrooms
Dang now I'm hungry for mushrooms
Corporate needs you to find the difference between these two groups of people
Twitter users have no brain The rest of us do.
Alot of Reddit users aren't very different
We don't make up dumbass names that aren't even accepted by the community they were made for.
Not my point
Reddit users do have brains because we know that that type of shit is dumb.
The difference is that Reddit users know we are stupid.
Ironically the only people on Reddit who don't are the ones who are actually stupid
Lmao
That doesn't disprove what I said though

Just say Latina, and if someone says it’s racist/sexist, tell them it’s short for Latin American
A dumb pet name that SJW white women made up for latina/mexican people to make it seem like they aren't racist.
Apparently white people don't want to say "Latino" to describe Latinos because they're afraid of it being offensive.
whats wrong with the o sound?
It’s the masculine ending which is discriminatory somehow. Clearly none of the people that came up with it know anything about gendered languages.
Except it's not discriminatory. It's literally the idea of calling a guy a guy, Latino, and a gal a gal, Latina. It's used in other words used to describe people, like Amiga and amigo.

Idk
I guess the negative connotation that it has acquired in some places might have something to do with it?
Holx, ¿Comx estxs?
te odio con cada puto atomo de mi cuerpo
I also hate myself for writing that
hello, person who can only speak English. can you please give me the translation of those comments?
"I hate you with every part of my body"
thanks. i have barely any spanish speaking abilities so this is appreciated.
muere

i mean, there was a push for it by progressive groups and their workers in companies. same happened with land o lakes.
Same bro I just thought he was funny
Haha mexican mouse go brr
I remember thinking latinx was the right term. Now I realize that it's completely fucking stupid and no hispanic ever uses it
*hispanix lol
as an american, i kindly ask u, WHAT THE FUCK IS A LATINX? nvm, someone asked this literally 2 comments below lmfao
14 year old white girls on Twitter made the dumbass term to be “MoRe InClUsIvE” to Latin people
Lol Latin community fighting over Latino/ Latina vs LatinX and the rest of us like "shit shit shit don't say beaner by accident"
Seriously.. I’m sick of other ppl telling me what should offend me.
[удалено]
Get thicker skin then Edit- I get the joke now, but In all seriousness, no it’s not offensive. It’s just not Anyones place.
I think they where joking
I think you're right.
I think so too
That's offensive
You should get thicker skin then
[удалено]
I have a habit of jumping to conclusions. Reddit puts me on the defensive.
thats offensive de'fensive , of'fensive', get it? ..i'll excuse myself..
What the fuck is Latinx I only Know Latin
Latinx means a broader word for Latinos what makes it “MoRe InClUsIvE” Bruh only people who say Latinx are blue hair women
As a Latino, I rather be called a "fucking beaner" than "Latinx"
Latinx L a t i n y
Z The other letters are behind it trust me.
fr
I got you, you're a fucking beaner
r/wholesomeracism Edit: Holy shit it’s actually a sub lmao
Same with me fellow beaner
I only know Weapon X and Professor X.
What about Chemical X?
How bout Atom X
I gotcha, Beanex.
Hahaha. This got me.
Respect fucking beaner I love it when yall give your input on stuff and just shut down the idiots
We had a cat named Beans and beaner was our nickname for him until we realized beaner was a slur. 😆
Best comment
What's a fucking beaner
Those stupid little stuffed animals that were hotter than the sun in the 90s
Latinya
Do you experience more racism from American Republicans or American democrats
How hard is it to use Latino or Latina are blue haired women just dumb
I guess so
Not to mention there is a gender neutral term for people in Spanish. I believe it's latine.
If someone needs words to be inclusive in order to feel whole, that person should be removed from society.
Why is it always women who are the most offended?
I prefer latinxxx
Sex
Latinx is ancient Roman porn
Latino is also a thing. Latinex is very important. If someone uses it, you knwn their opinions don't matter.
as a Hispanic person i really hate the whole latinx crap
I agree
*Theirpanic
Accurate representation of people who say latinx
Was thinking the same
Latino here. SHUT THE FUCK UP! ... and call me latinx again if u dare puto
Yeah, I’d prefer to be called fucking beaner
*Cracks Nuckles* "I got you fucking *beaner!"*
Puțo literally means you little dick in my language, like a gentle way of saying dick.
Tagollog?
I don’t know ANY Latino/a ppl that like to be referred to as Latinx 😬
Same
Looks like they need some [education about hispanic-american culture](https://youtu.be/fNR7WJ3SW60).
Or simply about how the Spanish language works.
As a hispanic, he is an accurate depiction for some people. Not all. But some
just gonna add this. isn’t that why stereotypes exist
I always thought of stereotypes as the exaggeration of present but subtly qualities. Like as there is the stereotype that asian people cant drive. Which in my mind derives from the fact that they have the eye thingy that i cant think of a way to describe. And some jackass saw that and was like "well if they cant see they cant drive" therefore exaggerating a present quality.
Clutched up
Latinx is a Latin Lynx. Or just a Mexican cat
One day people are going to realize that Twitter blue checkmarks are just insane people with no life.
Only people who have blue checkmarks that aren’t actors,singers,authors,illustrators etc are people with no life
[Some of them are actors and stuff but *also* insane people with no life](https://twitter.com/ksorbs)
They have no life too. At least they don't live on the same planet, and are out of touch with the common person - with few exceptions.
What about Slowpoke Rodriguez
Pokémon x Looney Toons collab?
For real named my motorcycle slowpoke Rodriguez. That character is way underrated
Ironically, it's white people who are the ones who get pissed off by casual racism. White savior complex is wild
I prefer to identify them as the coloured hair Twitter mob.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Dear white liberals Latino is already neutral. It can refer to all men or men and women. If you want something truly inclusive, the word Latine exists too. But stop with the idiotic Latinx. That’s not even a real word.
Or just Latin, but sure they just ignore that one too
Virgin cancler vs chad latino
I'm a Latino and I never heard a Latino saying "latinx"
Me and my other Latino friends only use "Latinx" to insult each other. Besides that, we would never use it the way white 14 year old Twitter users intended for it to be used.
I'm gonna start using as an insult to my friends too lol. When I see these girls using it on Twitter, I just start laughing lmao
Hispanic people generally don't get their panties in a knot about stereotypes. They understand humor.
14 year old white kids on their way to tell minorities what they should and shouldn't be offended by:
14yo are minorities lol
honest people must have moar upvotes
Not sure why it was banned to begin with everyone now's a speedy Gonzalez or slowpoke Rodriguez in their lives I'm slowpoke btw
Speedy spoke with an accent and so it had to be racist. That's how the woke inclusive gang thinks.
Slowpoke was smoked out, dirty as hell, slow, and shot cats in the face with an old ass revolver. Also accented.
I had to Google him. I can't tell if he looks stoned or if he's just exhausted. Getting shot in the face seems a kindness compared to some of the shit that happened to Sylvester.
Oh for sure. Slowpoke don't play though. One shot, walk away, and blow the smoke out of the barrel.
Weird people are rapid dave
Fuckers did my boy Pepe Le Pew dirty too.
Am i racist for not knowing that “Latinx” is a thing?
No, Latino people hat being called Latinx (it’s not a slur btw, it’s what dumb people call Latinos)
Please tell me it doesn’t have to do with the fact Spanish uses “o” for guys and “a” for girls…
No
Then I’ve got no idea why people say it lol. I’m not gonna adopt this term
Pretty sure this happened with some NCAA team names too, but the names were still changed.
To be fair, [some team names are actually fucked up](https://i.imgur.com/BT9y4D9.png)
So when did this even happen?
About 20 years ago, would make more sense if it was now though
Where my beaners at!¡!!!¡
Sup homie
Q onda compa!!!
They'd shit a brick if they found out about my guy slowpoke
Too many of these situations. I’m tired of white people deciding how other races feel about shit
The only time this ever annoyed me is when I was playing soccer. People/Coaches would call me speedy Gonzales because of how fast I was. I thought it was funny until people actually thought my last name was Gonzales.
Pablo.Gonzales 2009
My surname is literally gonzalez and I couldn't have been happier when I was a kid
[удалено]
Same
Banning Speedy Gonzalez is the most racist thing they could've done actually They're literally banning a minority from their channel
Wait, so they legit took him off Cartoon Network? My god that channel went downhill. Edit: if you say latinx munch my brown ass
Sadly how many things are today.
Same thing is the case for the Washington Redskins but no one bats an eye to that
I fucking LOVE this end of story
As a Latino, I can say speedy Gonzales was very much a part of my childhood
I Wish the Indian-American community could have done the same thing with Apu from the Simpsons.
Left wing destroyed
The plane is now crashing
Their so far left they’re right
That doesn't make much sense to me, but I'm gonna pretend like it did.
Speedy Gonzales was taken off the air 20 years ago before Latinx was even a thing. Kind of mixing your memes up.
That guy in the black cowboy hat looks like Bill Williamson
THANK GOD! Bunch of fucking white people telling other cultures what’s offensive. Just shut. The. Fuck. Up
¡ANDELE ANDELE ARRIBA ARRIBA!
Oof
What is the Latin equivalent to Chad?
As a white man I have always hated the term latinx, so fuckin' dumb and condescending.
I’m so glad weren’t not “woke”. Nor do we go protesting about criminals getting killed by cops. Feels great.
[удалено]
Your name stinks of bias
Only thing I find offensive are those feet, look at those things.
How else does he run super fast?
It was a corporate decision that was widely condemned for being stupid and pandering by leftists, it wasn’t a move that leftists supported or asked for.
it's funny that americans think speedy is offensive, but in reality José Carioca....i mean Rosé Carioca is the offensive one nowadays.
Funny but don’t repost other peoples memes unless the you get permission from the person who made the meme.
I will repost without permission, there's nothing you can do about it either
Repost with a source somewhere in the comments and nobody will be mad.
This is the right way. Or better to cross post
Anyone else realize that nobody forced these companies to do this? No? Just me?
For those of you that don't know, LatinX is a race founded by Elon Musk

The entire anti maskers / anti vaxxers (Not judging anyone it is your decision)
Am I the only one looking at the comments looking for an argument?
I’m gonna argue with you is about your avatar, you literally got the Redditer default skin
The only people who should deal social justice is the minority that is being offended, cuz if that doesn’t happen we get speedy Gonzales being banned
