Why do SJWs keep pushing it?

Psh, that's old people terminology. Have you heard of Xicanx? It's the hot new word. Or it's an allergy medication. I'm not entirely sure.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xicanx

---

as a Hispanic. Nobody I know or ever knew uses latinx. Except light skinned Hispanic white people on CNN

---

Because they gotta create fake shit to make themselves feel better. Look at all the genders they made up

---

I'm half-hispanic and I'm never using those terms.
---

Only the white liberal pushes that bs.

Who is "pushing it"?

In my experience Latinos in academia use it, those outside it don't. Neither side gives a shit what the others use.

Blatantly false but way to out yourself as someone who hasn't been to any kind of fucking higher education.

---

I'd assume that if I used that term around a Hispanic coworker, they'd look at me like I'm out of my mind. And this is a white collar environment.

---

I promise you I only ever hear non-Latinos use it. Just about every Latino thinks it's stupid.

---

Because it's a stupid term made up by virtue-signallers. You can't just rename a group which already has a name without reckoning upon them first.

You aren't illiterate so I don't know why you insist on pretending to be.

---

Most Hispanics actively dislike it. The people who do like it are stupid american white liberals

---

just because a relatively small amount of people use a phrase, it doesn't somehow undermine it, lol

Thanks for warning me not to respond to your posts.

It's SJW exclusive, just like how normal black people don't call ourselves people of color.

I don't use it unless the person I'm conversing with does first, so if you're calling me a "stupid american white liberal," I have bad news for you. Literally the *ONLY* people I know who use it are Latino academics.

My husband is Hispanic and thinks its dumb.

Big oof

Cause it's like a thing that came mostly from white guys so >_>

Why would I want to use such a thing if it comes mostly from Karens <_<

---

When I'm talking to people I don't bring up their race because it's not important. Seems really weird that anyone would do that.

This is low effort even for you.

---

Latino is not masculine though. It only becomes masculine in context, without context it's genderless

So latinx makes no sense to a Spanish speaker

Really, out of pure curiosity of someone who has apparently noticed - what other times have I gone low effort iyo?

---

Were the Romans latinx

As a Latino I 1000000% agree. Meme attached.

How often do US Hispanics use the rest of the ThunderCats?

As someone who is portuguese, its just another self-centered white priviledge/white savior missing the big picture term that needs to fuck off.

The term was invented by Hispanics and in my experience is primarily if not solely used by Hispanics.

Was not lol

This is like saying 'here, I bought the Christmas present and wrapped up for you but you're gonna say it's from you ok'

Wow, stunning rebuttal. It's first use in a published work was in a Puerto Rican academic journal, but you do you bro.

---

Only people on the Mexican side of my family who use it are college educated millennials and zoomers.

When only 1 out of 50 people identifies with something it's pretty safe to say they're the anomaly

You've been told maybe half a dozen times now that the origin is unknown, and that while google trends showed its usage as early as 2004, the first "official" use of the word is in the academic journal you mentioned from 2015, over a decade after it was being used online (source below):

Cool, care to share your proof that white LIBS invented it or nah?

It did not catch on until an influx of American politics or whatever you'd like to call it fueled that ideology lol

You really would like to think a published paper is the reality people live, but it's not

Yeah, a pretty obvious one to anyone with common sense, which is obviously not you

After you acknowledge that it wasn't first used in a published work by a Puerto Rican academic journal, but online a full decade earlier, and that even though you've been repeatedly told this you continue to openly lie about its origins in discussions on the topic.

So explain why it being used by a minority of people makes it bad, or wrong, or "used only by white liberals"

Nothing about this sentence makes any sense, but again, par for the course.

I never said it's bad or wrong, it's just stupid. As evident by the fact that most Hispanics have never heard of it, and when they do typically don't fucking like it. So maybe don't call people things they don't like?

---

As a Hispanic, most Hispanics I know dont care for the term. It is what it is though if thats what you want to be referred to.
