@robinsamuels525@OIIIIIIIIx Ironic how a good portion of British aristocracy only survived with the money brought to England by rich American women. LOL this includes Frances Ellen Work the AMERICAN great great grandmother of Prince William and Prince Harry. What a joke of an aristocratic/royal class 😏
@Brown666W@SkyNews Yeah, that was when he was under the influence of the wretched good-for-nothing British monarchy. He's free now and in much better company. #goodbye
@CityNewsYEG Oh Canadians, so "peaceful", so "civilized"... LOL People are delusional in thinking Canadians are better than their American neighbors. Canada can be a pretty scary place.
@maracharese @ClifSoulo@treymangum as an afro latina i think the issue is the term latinx. The english language has the gender neutral term: latin. /Americans (of any origin) should stop invading hispanic language and culture with anglo-terms that further alienate us regardless of being cis or non-conforming
@warrengottlieb@antoniogm 2/2 We don't have to be defined by anglo-american imperialistic standards and Latinx is an example of that imperialism at work upon our culture and language... as always.
@warrengottlieb@antoniogm 1/2 I'm a lefty feminist latinA and I believe the English language already provides a neutral term in the word Latin. There's no box for us, because we don't come from places where boxes exist.
@pesnk @melonfraufrau @antoniogm I'm a social democrat. Leftist through and through and find the term very offensive. Latin is perfectly gender neutral. The reason it might be insulting to a lot of us is because it brings us back to the same old Anglo linguistic interference with Hispanic culture and language.
@HoraceGray10 @AlvaroF@antoniogm Is not hate. I for one find the term offensive to my culture. The English language already has a gender neutral term in the word Latin (i.e. Latin America, etc.) In Spanish, some use Latine making more sense, because Spanish is actually a gendered language.
@HamrickPaul@antoniogm It's still an American thing (latino, "white" or whatever). It is however, as you implied, born out of the Hispanic American academic community. What's mystifying to me is why? When the English language provides the neutral term latin anyway.
@ledwards@antoniogm 2/2 The English language already has a neutral term: latin. So what's the need for an alien Anglo term like Latinx? Unless people just want to invent a new term to make political points and sing to the tune of modern times (which makes more sense but has no linguistic value).
@ledwards@antoniogm 1/2 It is an Anglo narrative of linguistic interference. We do not refer to Anglo-Saxon people per se, but to Anglo culture and language invading Hispanic/Latin culture and language given that the latin movement behind it is intrinsically American (latin or otherwise).
@alfmg424@DAbrameto@antoniogm Well I'm hispanic and I believe it is yet another Anlgo term interfering with our de facto diverse culture. It further alienates us. Not to mention it literally sounds alien and it's impossible to pronounce in Spanish (which makes it even more offensive). But to each their own.
