Topic	My gf schooled me so fucking hard on the LatinX thing
Jagr_68 10/31/19 11:55:16 AM #23:	Pogo_Marimo posted... Jagr_68 posted... I see it as succumbing to humility. Like why bother doubling down on strawman tactics when you can just easily admit "yeah I was wrong and that makes sense...I don't care anymore I got better things to do than shitpost IRL." Plus in this case, if like a gender neutral person of Hispanic descent wants to be called something different without being aggro about it, then fuck regardless of how dumb it sounds to you, it won't kill you inside to be considerate of that. Who said anything about strawmanning? That's just as bad giving up on critical thinking. You should always strive to thoroughly and vigorously test your beliefs and values against logic and rationality. Any idea held without being examined and inspected carefully is a tool born of ignorance at best. That's where I was going with my argument about culture and misappropriation of the letter x which is almost hardly used at all in Spanish but in the end, I could only stretch those reasons so far and they don't bare as much weight as the counterpoint for the term. If it's just a label for a select minority of people to identify with, then I guess I don't mind when everyone else will be latino/latina as usual. darkphoenix181 posted... 1. Is your gf latinx? 2.
