You're being too kind by labeling it a buzzword. It's not even a word, just bullshit.

I am liberal, and I generally agree with addressing people as they prefer to be addressed. But Spanish has gendered language (I only speak 3 languages, but it's true). This seems like something that was produced out of some sangria fueled faculty meeting at a small college.

We got bigger shit to do.

Not all progressives agree with using the term BIPOC.

I feel like if you mean a specific ethnic group, say that group. If you mean people of color in general say that. If you mean Viet and Mexican, say Viet and Mexican.

And for those who dont know

BIPOC means black, indigenous, people of color.

I feel thats doing too much and is sort of a lazy way to try and gatekeep progressive causes by using lingo to sus out people

'bipoc' does seem a little unnecessary. shouldn't 'poc' cover all of that?


Theyre trying to put front and center black and indigenous people before people of color to note oppression faced. Which also seems a bit much.

Most of the people I know who would qualify as "latinx" have openly expressed they HATE the term and consider it stupid.

If the very people the term is intended to describe say they do not like it, I'm not using it...

Latine is the best option. When I was a little tyke first learning Spanish as a second language (almost 20 years ago) I read a little general interest handout the teacher gave us about how more young Spanish-speakong people were using -e word-finally to be neutral. Not sure why that was overtaken by LatinX, but I guess it's similar to why 'womyn' was mocked but 'womxn' is trendy.

latin-x?

last one sounds like a medicine

Yeah I meant it's impossible to pronounce like Latina or Latino are lol. So like in text it works but when speaking saying "Latin-ex" just sounds stupid.

I assumed it was pronounced like "lah-teenks".

But, yeah, it is dumb. Like trying to impress gender neutrality into an innately gendered language. Might as well try to make "womyn" a legitimate thing.

Still sounds like a pokemon or 90's TV show, video game, or comic book to me.

And not all of us on the left are into stuff like this. I think It's safe to say most of us aren't. It comes off kind of condescending to me, which certain liberals/leftists are when it comes to the subject of minorities.

I'm going to wait until a Latino or Latina I talk to actually prefers that because I get mocked when I bring it up. That being said I live in Minnesota so maybe it just hasn't reached here yet.

I don't really care one way or another because as half latino, I understand that the term is too artificial and has no weight from a cultural standpoint BUT THAT BEING SAID if non-binary people want to identify as that term then I support them for that.

So far I haven't encountered anyone that uses the term either positively or negatively yet. It's just an internet buzzword no one outside the community who uses it actually has heard of.

I've only ever heard Hispanic people say it, usually feminist and LGBTQ+ activists. I'm half Mexican and half equinsu ocha, so the various labels I've been given have left me with apathy for it altogether and I couldn't really be bothered either way with this one.

It's a word that's currently limited by class, race, and ideology. I don't know why people get so bent out of shape about it and feel the need to tell others it's stupid.

I've never used it myself, but the activist types that come up with new words with new connotations feel it's useful.

I wonder how CE would have reacted to activists using the term black rather than negro or colored. Probably negatively.
