It’s so cringe how big corporations use “Latinx” in their communications solely for the purpose of virtue signaling.

I’m Puerto Rican. Let us decide what we want to be called. And “Latinx” ain’t it.

As a Latino it was very awkward when HR said “LatinX” . They were actually offending when they were “being inclusive”

"Let's ask how many latinos like the term Latinx". The poll says 99% hate it. "We love the Latinx community!" That's how out of touch our representatives and corporations are. They don't give a caca. Oh I mean cacX.

I'm latino and can't wait for "latinx" to fade away.

I’m a proud latina who despises the term “latinx”😑 don’t find it offensive, just utterly stupid! Have never and will never use it!

LatinX sounds like a failed space program led by Eljuan Muskez.

100% agree with Ruben about people calling us "Latinx." I'm first generation from Mexican immigrants and grew up knowing zero American customs and very little English. I take "Latinx" as an insult and so do all of my extended family and friends. My language is built on masculine and feminine pronouns.

Thank you, Ruben! Nice to see someone with a Hispanic background within politics take a stand on this dumb term. I’m Mexican and I find the term “Latinx” completely idiotic

One of my best friends is Nicaraguan. I'll never forget telling him about "latinx" after learning of it a while back . He was literally PISSED that it was a thing.

I am born and raised in South America, and if you called me "Latinx", I will ignore you.

"Latinx" sounds like a brand of tissues Procter & Gamble would sell in Mexico

My missus is Latina and when I asked her about latinx she hadn't a clue what I was talking about. When I explained it she shook her head and facepalmed.

I might disagree with him on a lot of stuff, but he is absolutely correct when it comes to "Latinx". It's probably the only thing you can get nearly all Latinos to agree on, regardless of nationality or political position... Which should tell you something about how much that word is hated.

I agree on the Latinx term. My Mexican family doesn't even know the word.

It’s healthy and refreshing when Democrats push back on ridiculous ideas

I love the term "Latinx". It means I can safely ignore every opinion of anyone that uses it.

South Park got white liberals right with PC Principal.

Love this gentleman, wish we had him in California I wouldn’t mind seeing him run for Senate.

Thank god! Someone who isn't riding the train from this "Latinx" shit. I'll never use that term. I'm always going to call myself a Latino and proud of it.

Latinx was always a mildly annoying term to me, but then I saw “Italianx” somewhere and wanted to hurl. It feels worse when it is your culture, so I’m sorry for you Latinos.

Refreshing Latinx - like I’m crossed out, everything about me is crossed out. Cancel* that term immediately

His rip of Ted Cruz was blistering!

Refreshing Latinx - like I’m crossed out, everything about me is crossed out. Cancel that term immediately

I’m latino and live in a border city where the population is 85% is Latino & I’ve never heard anyone use that term to describe themselves, because we don’t like it.

Im agree we Latinos hate "Latinx", really it´s an awkward word.

I never saw this term "latinx" until just a few years ago, and only in this past year have I started hearing the story that it was used in a Florida nightclub, and frankly I'm skeptical that there's any truth in it... far more likely that term originates in a Facebook-operated marketing group.

I’ve been pointing the ridiculousness of the word LatinX for years. I highlight how incredibly stupid it is every time I see it on YT or social media.

“When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.”

I lean right and live in a heavy democratic city. Most people I know lean left and when we start talking about politics I always ask them about this word. 95 percent hate that word. We might not agree on much but boy we can definitely unify on this one.

The thing that gets me is there is already a gender neutral English word for latino: Latin American.

There are a lot of similarities between what he's saying and what Jordan B Peterson was saying about government mandated preferred pronouns. But Peterson was figuratively crucified for his position...

Thats my representative!! So proud Arizona has one with balls.

This goes hand in hand with another part of this show where Bill says we Dems could attract trumpers who are drifting away. But they view us as condescending. How did that happen? Shit like Latinx.

I don't live in the US, so the first time I encountered the word LatinX I didn't know what it meant (still don't fully understand, don't care, don't use it). To me it was either the title of a movie or show I hadn't yet heard of, or Latin (the dead language of the Roman Empire) was making a come-back. Never in my wildest imagination did I think the word would be used as an umbrella term to group so many different cultures that apparently the "diversité" crowd can't be bothered to learn about, let alone recognise.

Just been my experience, anyone who uses the term LatinX also thinks it's racist to call a person from Mexico a Mexican.

I feel the same way about pronouns. If someone tells me theirs, I’ll use them. Conversely, I’m not going to tell someone else my preferred pronouns to make sure the other person’s tires are pumped. It shouldn’t matter if I offer my pronouns or not.

amor y apoyo para la comunidad LGBTQ pero necesitamos un "term" que NO halla sido inventando por gente que NO conoce nuestra cultura

Ruben Gallego is 100% correct here.

I admire his cxurage

I completely agree with Ruben, and his incredibly tiny hands, with this situation.

My great grandmother also had to give up Spanish for English. I also hate the term LatinX. Great grandma spoke Spanish not Latin, even though I understand the Roman conquest of Spain and evolution.

We need more of that.

Wouldn't the same logic that was being applauded apply to English? Isn't forcing the use of historically incorrect or made up words in English the same thing?

We all came to America for a better life this is our new country We all learned the english language And the ways of this new country Every ethnic group payed the price To become a good citizens Let’s all be United as one United States Not divided State’s There is no going back but forward Let’s show the world that we all can and must live together as one human family ✌️

It's imposing English grammar politics on a non-English language.

I’m 29 Born and raised in Puerto Rico, still living here. STOP SAYING LATINX.

I have yet to hear any hispanic person say they use the term latinx, and most of them find it offensive and cultural dictation by the US. Maybe don't.

Bill Maher, I love you. I do. :) I watch you every week. And this is the problem when people talk who haven't been experienced war themselves. In Estonia we have 1,3 million people. And we fought Russia off. We are now in Nato, and in EU. Please don't ever say that there's no point in resistence and fighting back. You don't know people's spirit. Everyone of us in Europe will do and give everything that we can to help Ukraine to beat Russia. Instead of questioning if we should fight, please share information how the world can support Ukraine and help them to fight Russia off. Hugs! :)

Nothing irritates me quite like being referred to as a caucasian. My ancestors were indigenous natives of lands 1000s of miles from the Caucasus

Ruben, yeah! yeah! yeah!

I'm reasonably confident that whoever came up with "latinx" was deliberately trolling.

Bill, can you have him on the show every week?? pretty please...

Its colonization of language.

Thaaaank you!!!!!

i love how articulate he is

Latinx sounds entirely too much like Kleenex and I wouldn’t want to be associated with it either

One of the few politicians that makes me proud to live in AZ. The man is legend!

I love Rep. Gallego. A genuine human being!!!

Everyone I know clowns the term "latinx" lol. You're better off never using this term. Trust me on this. As a general statement, not only do we not accept it, we reject it.

How far human civilization can go if everyone works together... . .

great job bill

People used to joke that purging Republicans are a legitimate form of self-defense. Sadly Its not a joke anymore :(

Im not latinx, latino, chicano, hispanic, mexican american Im mexican, period

Craaazy, he has tiny lil hands too!

Forget running against Sinema, we need this man for President.

marketing guy who became a congress person. what a surprise

My U.S. Congressman...Rep. Ruben Gallego D-AZ is a total rock star. I'm a proud constituent! :)

I am happy I was raised to be proud of my heritage and to never lose our primary language. I am perfectly bilingual and very thankful that my family raised me this way. We were also raised to be thankful for the United States and patriotic. I hate the "I'm offended" culture we now live in. It tears us apart. No one can laugh anymore. I am certainly not Latina. I am not Mexican, I am not Salvadorian, I am not Peruvian, Columbian, Venezualan, Puerto Rican. Every one of the people from these countries (and more) have only 1 thing in common. We all speak spanish and are from Spanish descent. -Is an (U.S.) American the same as a Scotsman? New Zealander? Australian? So. African? And what's this the whole "White" thing? What is that? How many ETHNICITIES are white caucasian? Latina/Latino is not a race! Spanish speakers are now clumped together as a race? Like comparing Apples & Oranges? As the comedian Gabriel Iglesias said, "Cubans come in all the colors of the rainbow". Yes, we do have different races yet has never been an issue. We are Cuban. And calling each other "mi negra" or "mi negro" or "oye, negro" is a term of endearment not of offense. - What the heck is wrong with this country now? Can everyone just drop the race identity card? Embrace your heritage yes! Its what makes this country awesome! We are a mix of Cultures. Instead of "Asians" we have Koreans, Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesians, Japanese, etc.. All different. And oh my gosh, don't get me started on "Black" or "African-American" - Tell me what is the same between a Nigerian and an Ethiopian apart from the color of their skin? Can we start appreciating our distinctive Cultures instead of race? Thank You.. off my soap box now.

Oh, you don't like it when people start policing your culture's language for gender...sucks don't it.

it's also a problem when you have prominent latin people in the public eye, like actors, using 'Latinx'

Someone needs to explain this to Steven Spielberg.

I appreciate his honesty.

I like how Bill is finally calling out some of the hypocrisy

Thank you Ruben

Be Impeccable with your words.

Everyone basically has a cultural background and it's up to everyone with that background have the right to practice it, speak it and cherish it to keep it alive. I don't understand why certain groups that aren't even associated with that culture to try and turn it into something it is not.

Damn, I like this guy. His take on the school system and vouchers during the show was SPOT ON.

I''m glad that he cried over his culture. how beautiful

It’s a slur at this point

Maher had a point: Everyone complained about Trump’s decorum, yet liberals can act in any manner they wish with no consequences.

It’s Great he has no Filter ! 🇺🇸😂

“Fights” on Twitter lol. That’s adorable

Arizona Congressman Ruben Gallego was given "EMOTIONAL DAMAGE" LOL

I remember the BALLS in the JAR tweet!! CLASSIC!!!!!

Ruben Gallego is an excellent politician. We need more minds like his in Washington. The point about Latino culture and language is very true. It is much older than America, and it brings a complex and beautiful heritage to our society. America is Latino, Black, Asian, Cuban, catholic, jewish, protestant, and so on. It is a democratic republic. Today is a great opportunity for us all. We can celebrate diversity, or we can fail. We can work together, but America, this opportunity, cannot work if we do it apart.

It seems to me bill is still growing every year. I really like this guy man. 👍

I must follow this guy on twitter!

“African American” should be put in that same category!

“I will gladly work with the President when his ideas aren't stupid and detrimental to the United States. Unfortunately, this is what this plan is. It was not planned out.” - Ruben Gallego, Arizona Democrat: I'll work with Trump 'when his ideas aren't stupid'

We don’t need to put everyone in boxes. Just treat people as people and we’ll figure out the rest along the way. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am not Latino(a), but I sure respect people who refuse to deny their cultural heritage. While as an American citizen, I am first and foremost American, I wish my ancestors and many other immigrants had been afforded the accomodations and acceptance of our native cultures and languages that have been afforded to the Latino(a) community in this country. I applaud them on standing strong for their heritage.

I just want to state that, for the record, I have never once in my life actually spoken the word LatinX or whatever the fuck it is. I’m 40. I’m white. I’m straight. And I’m a man. And somehow, by some strange miracle, I was still able to independently decide that this was some dumb shit.

I love when I see people forced to use latinx. It is soo satisfying to see them go against what they know to satisfy a few hypersensitive liberals. I am latinx for all liberals and I enjoy letting them know they offended me lol. All my people get a kick out of that. My wife gets particularly pissed. She hates the word.

When did Bill get the audience from Married With Children?

My Mexican husband thinks "Latinx" is one of the stupidest things he's ever heard.

you can see still how terrified he is of the woke mob.

Ruben Gallego is on my Big Screen - well impressed.

I’m getting sick of hearing this new racial slur. I’m glad Ruben spoke up about this

The next senator for Arizona y’all!!
