I used to work with this lifted-truck literally red-necked red neck. He kept going on about how hot his girl was, and how white she was.
One day he shows me her picture, and she was indeed a very hot dark skinned Latina. Some people are just in denial.
A lot of Latin American people see themselves as white and would get very offended if you suggest otherwise
Edit: Sorry I had no idea latinx was offensive
They'd certainly get offended if someone referred to them as "latinx", lol
How are people still saying that unironically?
Latin akeese - I hate it, you should too
I'm from the wrong continent to really understand this issue in depth but what's wrong with 'Latin American' as a term?
What does the x mean?
As far as I understand it, "Latinx" is supposed to be the gender-neutral form of Latina/Latino.
Depending on who you ask, it may be more or less offensive than assuming their gender, or simply using a different word.
Ok, thank you.
