"Let's not use a designated applied term to describe us as a people. Anyways ... here's a designated applied term to describes us from how on." LatinX is a joke term.

Latinx sounds way too forced.

I'm sorry. This man is talking BS. People in Latin America hate the term Latinx. We see it as something that originared in the US and has nothing to do with us. Colbert did a segment a few months ago for Hispanic Heritage month and the comment section was filled with messages from latins saying we don't EVER use that term nor like it.

LatinX is a North American term which is rejected in Mexico, Central and South America… it’s very inclusive for the LGBTQ community but others refuse to use that word …

No it’s a term made up by activists and not the global community of Spanish speakers.

...not all of us are gay feminists ... Im not referring to myself as LatinX.. sorry

Any self respecting Latino would never use that stupid term

Does the guy speaking here call himself gayx

I'm a proud Mexican American and I'm Hispanic

Not sure if people understand that X in spainish is pronounced as "E-kees" not "Ex" Latinx is LatinE-kees so you can tell the people that made this term up don't know how to speak Spanish, nor had enough brain cells to just remove a letter and Use "Latin". O:Denotes Male A:Denotes Women X:has no relation to gender, making it completely meaningless change. My point is theres no need to create a term when one already exists, it's entirely pointless.

If some or many people are happy identifying themselves as a latinx great for them. But if many would understand or study their roots as Latino/Hispano Americanos that latinx term would probably be meaningless or an unnecessary term. And to any politician if you want my serious vote do not call me latinx.

Helium is a hell of a drug. On a serious note, they didn’t provide a counter argument. He didn’t take both sides because he embraces the term, so it was misleading. This should be filed “E” where one finds editorials and excrement.

How about you just let people be who they want without all the divisive terminology?

I'm sorry but of all people to find to be an expert on language they found this guy?

Latin is literally gender neutral ?? Sooo

*“but people and groups who support the term say it makes the community more inclusive”* _Yes, people! Dozens of them!_

As soon as he started talking, I learned that I care zero about what this "TikTok sensation" (likely activist) has to say.

Since when is México part of south América

We have been Hispanic for more than 500 years. We don't need a new name.

if you actually go around and ask them, most have never heard the term nor do they like it.

Basically some random Americans decides that our language is not enough inclusive and proceeds to create a term that no one of us requested. Then when many of us refuses to use that term they get angry because we are not being "inclusive" .

I am Puertorican , I am American , I am Latin , I am white hispanic , I am Hispanic

That 57% is not conditioned. Maybe latinos just came from actual difficulties in life and we don’t have time to make up problems to “solve”

The answers no

No!🤮

It is a black mark on our society that people like that guy can get on TV and be taken seriously

LatinX? que tonterias sacan hoy en dia. People can call themselves whatever they want just don't force me to use any term on me.

no self respecting mexican identifies as pocho, this guy loses all credibility.

If Latin is already a gender neutral word, why the need to add a X at the end 🤦‍♀️

"No one gets to chose how someone self identifies" so what makes them think they can impose a term on the Latino community which they reject?

I rather be called a racist slur than “Latinx”

How about AMIX? I always call my gay friend amix.☺️

That doctor definitely sounds like someone who would like the term Latinx. I knew he would like that bs term as soon as I heard him talk.

Tf is a “latinx” we’re Latino not “Latinx”

I’m Latino not latinx

No

No one should

“Xe’s a very angry latinx”

Where do they get these statistics from? I don’t recall someone knocking on my door and asking me for an opinion on this or any statistics they come up with! Their not asking every person in the world just those they know will agree with them! Latin is already inclusive, no need for that x in the end and it just doesn’t make sense!

Just keep on dividing the people into smaller and smaller groups. Thanks!

No dude, don’t call us that ridiculous word. You can call yourself whatever you want. Don’t call me or expect me to use Latinx.

THEY SHOULD REMEMBER WHERE THEY CAME FROM AND STOP THEIR BULLSIT

I don’t and won’t.

Who wants this guy to speak for their culture ?

What if the person is white with blonde hair and blue eyes but comes from Latin America?

Hi. The worst part of this is that jerk has the same name as me. I hate hate hate Latinx phrase. Depart from me.

Isn't LatinX a Eurocentric word, including the word Latin? Or, does it refer to the Latin family of languages, which is also Eurocentric? I thought the historical hold of ex Spanish/Portuguese dynasties was still a problem in the Americas. Why name disparate peoples of a continent and a half after a relatively few rich families? More sense to me would be naming your people after your present nationality or your historical ethnicity/tribal association.

Wait... which side is trying police language here?

Should the other 250 million people on the US call themselves Stupid? Yeah, they should. I swear everyone around the world has completely lost their minds.🤦‍♀

Why so obsessed with labels?

2+2 = 5

But your basically telling everyone other then you that they have to use the word while arguing nobody should force you how to self identify…. Do you not see the hypocrisy here? It’s absolutely going away as again it has zero point and people should be fighting against poverty, and war and not about words.

This interview sounds fake or rehearsed

No!

Great

LatinX 🤦🏻‍♂️

This person doesn't speak for us, if this person wants to refer thyself as that then do it but don't impose it on the majority of LATINOS that doesn't, that know the word LATINOS is already plural including everyone. The ones pushing the gender agenda and the media in Latin America are trying to also impose it but not going to happen, us latinos abide by the Real Academia Española to defend our language because we take pride in it, when the majority already voiced against it but you're still pushing it, then who is on the oppressed side?

Identity works 2 ways sadly, you don't get to choose how people perceive you

Keep it up. See what WE do at the polls. Will you people add AsianX 😂

American Latino's can call themselves latinX but the rest of us are Latino or Latina.... yes yes Chicano state side name, Mexico side they call us Pocho....

This sounds very forced on and not at all inclusive.

I’m so glad this is starting to die out.

We are all fellow humans and we are all the same colour under the skin. “Always treat others as you would like them to treat you.” And “Love your neighbour as yourself.” That is the Law and the Prophets. Never worship and pray in the way of religions (not even in the way of Catholics nor Christianity) because religions are all led by the many blind guides and false prophets of whom Jesus had already warned us to beware of, almost 2,000 years ago. They all make up their own laws and prayers. When he alone (in the name of Immanuel) is the Son of Man and the true Prophet sent by God, to be always our one Teacher and to set us free from all religions… These are the words of the Lord God: “I will raise up for them a prophet like you [Moses] from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth.” - (at Deuteronomy 18: 18) - “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign: A young woman is with child, and she will bear a son, and will call him Immanuel.” [“God is with us”] - (The Prophet Isaiah 7: 14) - “If you have ears to hear, then hear.” - (Jesus in the name of Immanuel the Messiah, at Mark 4: 23) - “God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” - (at John 4: 24) - “In truth I tell you, anyone who gives heed to what I say and puts his trust in him who sent me, has hold of eternal life and does not come up for judgement, but has already passed from death to life.” - (John 5: 24) - “You shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” - (John 8: 32) - “When you pray, go into a room by yourself, and shut the door. Pray to your Father who is there in the secret place; and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you. In your prayers do not go babbling on like the heathen, who imagine that the more they say the more likely they are to be heard. Do not imitate them. Your Father knows what your needs are before you ask him. This is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, Your kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven, Give us today our daily bread, Forgive us the wrong we have done, as we have forgiven those who have wronged us. And do not bring us to the test, but save us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever. Amen. For if you forgive others the wrongs they have done, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, then the wrongs you have done will not be forgiven by your Father.” - (Matthew 6: 6-15) - “Pass no judgement, and you will not be judged. For as you judge others, so you will yourselves be judged, and whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt back to you.” - (Matthew 7: 1-2) - “Truly I tell you; if anyone obeys my teaching he shall never know what it is to die.” - (John 8: 51) - “Always treat others as you would like them to treat you: that is the Law and the Prophets. Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it.” (Matthew 7: 12-14) - “I am the gate; anyone who comes into the fold through me shall be safe. He shall go in and out and shall find pasturage. The thief comes only to steal, to kill, to destroy; I have come that men may have life, and may have it in all its fullness.” - (John 10: 9-10) - “Beware of false prophets, men who come to you dressed up as sheep while underneath they are savage wolves. You will recognize them by the fruits they bear.” - (Matthew 7: 15-16) - ‘Why do you keep calling me “Lord, Lord,”-and never do what I tell you?’ - (Luke 6: 46) - “I am the resurrection and I am life. If a man has faith in me, even though he dies, he shall come to life; and anyone who is alive and has faith shall never die.” - (John 11: 25-26) - “I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world” - (John 12: 47) - “Whoever will acknowledge me before men, I will acknowledge him before my Father in heaven; and whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.” - (Matthew 10: 32-34) - “I am the way; I am the truth and I am life; no one comes to the Father except by me. If you knew me you would know my Father too.” - (John 14: 6-7) - “Any plant that is not of my heavenly Father’s planting will be rooted up. Leave them alone; they are blind guides, and if one blind man guides another they will both fall into the ditch.” - (Matthew 15: 13-14) - “The disciples came to Jesus and asked, ‘Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven?’ He called a child, set him in front of them, and said, ‘I tell you this: unless you turn round and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven. Let a man humble himself till he is like this child, and he will be the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven. Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me. But if a man is a cause of stumbling to one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him to have a millstone hung round his neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea. Alas for the world that such causes of stumbling arise! Come they must, but woe betide the man through who they come!’” - (Matthew 18: 1-7) - “Though many are called, few are chosen.” - (Matthew 22: 14) - “An expert in the law, [a leading religious Pharisee] tested him with this question: ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?’ He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind. That is the greatest commandment. It comes first. The second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself. Everything in the Law and the Prophets hangs on these two commandments.’” - (Matthew 22: 35-40) - “There is no greater love than this, that a man should lay down his life for his friends.” - (John 15: 13) - “Do not call any man on earth ‘father’; for you have one Father and he is in heaven. Nor must you be called ‘teacher’; you have one Teacher, the Messiah.” - (Matthew 23: 9-10) - “Take care that no one misleads you: For many will come claiming my name…” - (Matthew 24: 4) - “Many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many; and as lawlessness spreads, men’s love for one another will grow cold. But the man who holds out to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the earth as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come.” - (Matthew 24: 11-14) - "Stay awake, and pray that you may be spared the test: The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." - (Matthew 26: 41) - “However, when he comes who is the Spirit of truth; he will guide you into all the truth.” - (John 16: 13) - Yours always, in true Spirit and in our one given prayer, 2gointruth, on Saturday the 15th of January 2022: - (Matthew 5: 14-16) - Where every minute (of both day and night) can be a new beginning for any one of us. Let it always be you. Pray to God often, in the way prescribed above, before it is too late.

FFS drop Latinx

Never heard Latino before this thread. I swear. Label label label.

LatinXtreme sports!

Dislike

Nope. I don’t care for Hispanic either, a government imposed name. Not too keen about Latino either which represents the colonizer’s language. I identify more with my Indigenous roots.

Why not just go with the traditional Latina and Latino? Is it because of the LGBTQ again?

It’s ‘Moor’.

look at badempanada's video on it. he explains it better than this weird interview

Never heard Latinx before this thread. I swear. Label label label. So d*mn tired of label.

The spaniard hate seed complains about spaniard invasion!🤣

You've interviewed just about the most radical person you could find. He is not representative of people on the street. Not even close.

Prefiero que me llamen con el peor insulto a que digan latinx, eso es mas grave que ofender a mo madrecita

Soo Latinx is gay Latinos in terms?

This guy or whatever the hell it is not a reliable resource 🤦🏽‍♂️🤮

We are Latin American I'm more American them USA people

No.

How about Americans? That's pretty inclusive. Eventually, none of this will matter, as we are a melting pot, (melting) into each other. And it's sad, that we need a safe space. We should all be proud of our heritage and origins. I am.

No. Embrace the culture here and respect it! Here in America we're a melting pot of cultures, and we're American. Keep it simple... Keep it respectful. Appreciate America, and don't turn it into something it's not! We all have to call ourselves American and be proud of it...

NO!!!!!!!!!!!

No sane person cares!

Not sure if he understands the word inclusive 🤔

Sure , they will always be.

They have all different t Spaniards Mexican Latino is more like Argentina. Or Brazil isn't it

Why not canaaniteX?

Hell NO.

Yankee imperialist term

Latinx was meant to encourage group thinking...

Is that a trans man?

#orgullomestizo #orgullomestizx #orgullomestiza #orgullolatino #orgullolatinx #orgullolatina

Insanos

It’s woke bulls***.

Yes…as long as I can identify as stonerx

Booooo 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅

Calling yourself Latin X or Latino is the equivalent of calling yourself White Latin is a European term should not be applied to indigenous people should not be applied to black people even shouldn't be applied to the mestizos who are mixed with the so-called latins before all these groups of people to call themselves Latin is wrong it's not taking into account be indigenous blood the African

This is obsurde.

So I'm thinking that this good Doctor has a new fan in me cecause he's pretty cute, but I still want to add my two cents to the conversation. People like myself have always tried to be uber-respectful by trying to make sure that I use the proper labels for various groups (LGB/LGBT/LBTBQ/LGBTQIA/LGBTIQ/LGBTIQA, Latino/Hispanic/Chicano/LatinX, Colored/Negro/African-American/Afro-American/Afro/Black/African-American/Black/People-of-Color/Black/African-American). As you might understand by now, people like me are pretty well tired of the hoop-jumping we have to do, not only to be respectful, but to not have someone use any perceived mistakes on my part to disparage me for not knowing the word of the day. So my bottom line is that until people begin to refer to me as that Norwegian/Scots/Irish/English/Texan instead of that old white b!tch, I am begging you guys to choose a lane, then stick with it for awhile. Allow the rest of us to catch up, then teach us your preference and be kind when you correct us.

Latinx 😭😭😭🤪🤪🤪🤪
