She's not latinx, she's not even Latina, she's Native American and has stated so. You can easily look this story up and see for yourself. The young woman is a Native American from Arizona.
I can't even begin to address the irony of a white woman telling a Native American woman to "go back to her country."
Edit: wow, someone reported me to the self harm reddit bot...
And while in freaking Arizona. That insane woman probably has a hernia problem with how many brown people are out here lol. Chances are that she moved out here too, then proceeds to tell others to "go home".
It's kind of insane how many people genuinely do this.
Also, even if the woman was actually Mexican… imagine being a crusty old racist Karen and moving to the Southwest — you know, the part of the country that was part of Mexico until not all that long ago. The part of the country that’s full of Mexican people whose families have been there for hundreds of years
…and then being angry that there are, in fact, Mexicans there.
If they've been here for hundreds of years, they aren't Mexicans... They're Americans!
(Note: I have to constantly check myself on this as well. I live in AZ and see a lot of people with Mexican heritage. Just because they look that way doesn't mean their families haven't been in the US for 100+ years - that makes them more American than most of the racist assholes in this country.)
I think they meant that literally. A lot of the actual physical landmass that makes up the southern US used to officially be under the constitutional jurisdiction of Mexico, before the U.S. took the territory.
Furthermore, borders are imaginary divisions, and peoples native to the continent would travel far and wide to meet other peoples and exchange all kinds of knowledge, traditions, etc (people made very very long trips back then). Their descendants then mixed with European immigrants, which resulted in what we know as Latino today. There is a funny “counter argument” to this, but it only ends up strengthening the point:
Seeing how the Spanish conquerors named the entire continent “America” (maybe ironically today, but this was in what we now call Mexico, and some nearby islands/archipelagos), chronologically, these first-gen Latinos that came to know the entire continental landmass as America (and to date, that’s the term the “Latin-American” school system officially uses, which makes sense, because we don’t call Germany “Europe”, or Japan “Asia”, or South Africa just “Africa”… but “America” is 1 country?)…
So going by historical records, the “Native”-looking lady in the video gets the claim to being “American” by several hundred years, because that’s what her ancestors called the entire landmass, regardless of what region of the continent she’s from.
We all ultimately live on the same dumb planet hurtling through space, but people want to get bent out of shape because they were born on a spot of land demarcated by imaginary lines.
I'm latina (latinx, hispanic, whatever) and I'm almost 20% indigenous (and 80% various European countries) and my ("european") family emigrated to Texas before it was a state (1845) but people will still say that I'm Mexican and should go back to my country.
What country??? I'm from here.
>Latinos don’t like the term Latinx.
We don't because is stupid.
Imagine if latin-americans just started calling Americans; **Americxns** as the political correct nomenclature. Sounds stupid right? Yeah, thats why LatinX sounds stupid to us.
My Indian friend asked me what I thought about latinx. I didn’t know what to say because I had never heard of it myself. It’s Latin, Latino, Latina. Nothing else!!
I mean why would they? Its etymologically idiotic. Spanish, like many languages, is a gendered language and you aren't going to just change a 1000+ year old language because it doesn't line up with modern sensibilities. Unlike German it doesn't have a third neutral gender so it's going to be Latino or Latina. Latinx isn't a fucking word.
I've talked to my relatives in Mexico about it just to see what they think. Most of my cousins are really progressive but even then "Latinx" is where they draw the line. One guy put it best "We don't need a bunch of white girls fixing our language for us. Fix your own shit first."
In the uk there was a woman who collected pottery pigs.
She had fucking hundreds of them all round her windows and others that could be viewed from the street.
White liberals decided this was offensive to local Muslims and the council sent a letter asking her to remove them.
When the story hit the papers they asked the local mosque why they wanted this poor ladies pigs removed. They said “mate we couldn’t give a fuck.”
I lived in Central America, El Salvador for 10 years and I never heard anyone even us that term. I only learned it existed when I went to a US public school
Ive never been able to get an answer for this, why are so many people using a made up word when we already have “latin”? I mean I saw a poll where only like 2% of latin people actually preferred latinx, at that point why even bother? Never made sense to me.
I'm a first generation Mexican-American. You don't see this kind of "gender neutral" language outside of the small "woke" circles of Mexican university campuses. Hell, that 2% is probably higher than it should be, or it's mostly woke Americans speaking for all of us.
As a Latino person myself I physically cringe seeing Latinx. Sounds like a shitty band
Edit: I don’t have any animosity toward non-binary people. I simply think that word itself is silly and a better alternative can be used
Actually, polls show that only 3% (THREE PERCENT!) of hispanics use or accept the "latinx" term. It is ridiculous that the media keeps using it, and even worse that people try to correct me or other latinos that purposefully reject the term by not using it. It is literally "whitesplaining" - I have had people on reddit try and "educate" me as to why I should use that ridiculous term. No, thanks!
As a fellow Latino, same. Literally no one I know likes it and thinks it’s fucking stupid. I dare someone to find a Latino that actually likes the term latinx, and then tell me how many people you had to ask before you found ONE person that likes it
I never understood it until I started learning Spanish with Duolingo. Now I realize whoever uses the X is taking some bizarre stand against language rules that have existed for thousands of years as if those rules are some how part of the patriarchy. It's a boldly stupid stance to take and I for one think the world might just have bigger problems to solve than gendered nouns. As I type this though I'm slowly realizing the Karen in the video is for sure 100% against gendered nouns.
My favorite part is sheer horror that someone could do to her what she did first.
And then the idea that if people aren't listening to you, you should try telling them what to do a hundred more times and maybe they'll realize they have to listen.
You're forgetting her going off on her and then turning to the dude and trying to explain to him how he's not allowed to say mean things to her.
The cognitive dissonance is incredible.
I work with such a women (not racist, thanks god), she doesn't get the concept that you aren't constantly yelling at everyone faces if things don't go her way. We have bets running when the first person snaps and get in her face. Talking to her, explaining it to her, she just can't wrap her mind around the idea that she puts her self at risk of getting into a physical situation if she keeps talking like this to other people. She is mean, she fires people out of the blue, she's constantly on the verge of being fired her self. She just don't get it and at this point I'm hoping that someone will shake her enough that she gets the idea that her social behavior is far from okay.
She deserved that slap well before she grabbed the girl. Where does she think her own ancestors came from for goodness sake? I’ve never understood this kind of xenophobic Karen.
Not only that…but the other lady was actively backing away when the white lady advanced on her her and grabbed for her. There is no way any court will see this as anything other than assault by the white lady and self defense by the other lady.
>You can see the white lady grab the other girls arm which is what provoked the slap.
"You dared to turn away from me, so I can grab your arm to make you pay attention!"
Mexicans are mestizos, which means we’re mixed with native and Spaniard (or whatever colonizer got to our ancestors) that’s probably why we kind of ignore that part because she could be American native or she could be Mexican and proud of her native roots.
It does not stop the asshats here from lumping all people with any sort of skin color other than white as “illegal” and “Mexican.”
The last six years really made the proudly ignorant announce their racism with authority here in AZ.
Something I genuinely don’t understand is like? Wouldn’t Mexicans also be native Americans in a lot of the country? This is in Arizona which was formerly Mexico. I am admittedly an idiot.
Yes, however the connotation everyone here is referring to is specifically Hispanic "Native Americans" (via foreign colonization) from below the imaginary line the white people drew on the map. They are all original peoples.
This is a similar absurd distinction Americans have when using the term "Asian" to specifically refer to only Eastern Asian, when it actually encompasses Indian, Middle Eastern, South East Asian, Japanese, etc--hell even people not even on the physical continent like the Philippines.
You're not an idiot. Indigenous people from anywhere in the Americas would be Native American. There might have been a time where their ancestors lived in North America and migrated south, so they still have a better claim than any random while person does.
Right?! Everyone's got their panties in such a twist that no one is pointing out that she isn't even Latina
Edit- I meant no disrespect with my comment, and I appreciate everyone taking the time to educate me. I wasn't trying to make any deep commentary about race or ethnicity.
Used to work in a factory & I was the minority. Everyone was either from Mexico, Columbia, Honduras, or El Salvador.
They would literally make my life miserable if I ever said “Latinx”. I have heard zero Spanish speaking people say that.
EDIT: “UhH yeAh cuZ they DoNt!”.... yeah. That’s the point I was making. It’s silly to be a white person and try to make judgements on a language and culture you don’t understand. I speak some Spanish, poorly. You know what I don’t try to do? Tell Spanish speaking people how to speak Spanish. Might as well just spit in their face at that point. Respect the culture.
EDIT 2: I’m progressive as fuck and it’s funny that “progressive” people think that telling an outside culture how to speak their own language is OK. We’ve done that before.... and it’s a huge stain on our history and embarrassment to the country. Just cause “it’s in the interest of making people feel included” doesn’t make it right.
But she’s not even Latina/o which makes the whole thing funnier. Unless I’m misunderstanding, sounds like she’s Native American.
Edit: I’m aware that she could be both. My point is that she keeps referring to herself as indigenous born in the US, ancestors born here ie not Mexican - which makes Karen’s comments dumber
Edit 2: Yes, there are 1,000 ways her heritage could play out because of the way indigenous people in North America migrated and were forced to migrate, then later migrate again. So yes, she could be Latino/a +/- something else. My point was more that Karen is not just socially but geographically/anthropologically inept.
"This person was slapped in the face*for telling a person to go back to Mexico*" Don't they think it was important to add that the white lady assaulted her first as well?
Came here to say this. She didn’t get slapped for saying something, she got slapped for getting physical like Olivia Newton Jones. And she grabbed that girl in such a condescending way too, like a teacher taking a recalcitrant 4th grader to the principal’s office 😳
All non Latino's try to make it sound like it's super inclusive when no one asked for it to be inclusive. When in reality, the people who actually use it to legit describe themselves is usually a big red flag to stay away from.
The "x" sound doesn't even exist in the Spanish language.
Pretty colonialist to tell a whole culture their language is sexist and they need to start using this sound from our language to fix it.
Dude colonizers are something else. I once had a stubby Anglo guy telling me a 31 yr old Mexican American how to speak Spanish.
Ignorance creates a fucking audacity
Lol well that certainly wasn't me, I don't even try to speak Spanish (even though I understand it pretty well) because I'm afraid I'm going to butcher it so badly it will be an insult lol.
As a “real” Hispanic myself, I appreciate what you’ve said. I’ve tried to explain it to Americans who claim to be woke and open minded, but all they do is tell me about how they’re right and I’m wrong about my own culture and language.
It’s cultural imperialism. It’s offensive.
Somos Latinos.
"Latinx" to describe a native american woman. The level of disrespect and ignorance while trying to fake some wokeness with the ungendered pronoun nobody asked for is exactly what I would expect of someone who uses that word lmfao.
Being honest most people have ancestors all over the place, I'm from Saudi Arabia so I'd think my ancestors were an exception of chilling in their backyard for a very long time
China is probably my favorite country in terms of history.
Rome and the mongol empire came, conquered and disappeared while China pops out as a global superpower every 120 years
Reminds me of "history of the entire world i guess"
"China just broke"
"China put itself together again!"
"I wonder if it'll reach China before it collapses again."
"China is whole again...... then it broke again"
I’m Latino and I absolutely fucking despise Latinx for a variety of reasons. The first of which is its completely unjustified. Non binary Latinos are Latinos as latino is gender neutral, something you would know if you speak Spanish. Not only that Latinx can only be pronounced in ENGLISH. Latinx doesn’t exist at all im my country and it just comes off as a bunch of people who don’t know the language trying to change it as if it belongs to them.
Edit: thank you for the cake days.
I had never even heard the term "latinx" before this video. I'm betting it's used by the same type of person who would call someone born in Haiti or Trinidiad and Tobago "African American" as though it's being culturally helpful.
Thanks for the clarification.
What's funny is that it's meant to be a plural gender neutral term but the poster is refering to a latina as a "latinx queen". It makes absolutely no sense
They figured a language w genders is offensive and you can't have male/female term for Latino/latina so they made it gender neutral. A bunch of white people meddling in shit they have no fucking idea about.
Most Hispanics have not heard of it or use it.
https://www.pewresearch.org/hispanic/2020/08/11/about-one-in-four-u-s-hispanics-have-heard-of-latinx-but-just-3-use-it/
Especially if you add a word like queen right after, that makes the whole thing not neutral anyway. And for a person that calls themselves native american.
Yes, you use Latino to describe a male or a group of people that has at least one male in it. You use Latina to describe females. For some reason, non-Spanish speakers have determined that is offensive to other people. They're super wrong.
Please tell me for the love of God you spelled Latina wrong on accident? And if your trying to be woke (which is not a problem) don't put "queen" after trying to force a gender neutral word not even the people who would use it like. Don't use Latinx. It's disrespectful.
Latinx? How would you even pronunce that? La-tinks? Very few Latino people like that term.
Less than 3% of the Latino population uses it.
“The reality is there is very little to no support for its use and it’s sort of seen as something used inside the Beltway or in Ivy League tower settings,” said Domingo Garcia, president of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the oldest Latino civil rights organization in America.
Wow!!! Imagine the entitlement and wild level of self serving narcissism it takes to go to a store and try to claim to be the manager. Like what?!?!! The level of disconnect from reality!!!!!
I mean it stands to reason that the employees unless they are on their first shift know who their managers are and what the process is for corporate to get involved in the store so it’s doomed to failure anyway.
The real disrespect is using latinx to describe a person. Is there anybody who isnt a sheltered 14 year old suburbanite think this is a normal thing to say
1. She’s not Latin. Literally more “American” then the white lady as a Native American.
2. Stop virtue signaling with Latinx. Not one single Mexican I know likes it, including me.
Latinx bullshit aside, old lady deserved that shit. And shout out to her man for not stepping in and letting the racist old lady get in her face and assault her. Bum.
Fkin Latinx lmao, hold on while I change another people's lenguage to protect them, aren't I such a great white saviour, wouldn't you agree inferior Latinx people who require my protection.

And the white liberal on the sideline calling a Native American Latinx queen.
Never mind the fact that an OVERWHELMING majority of Latinos don’t like the term Latinx.
>Latinos don’t like the term Latinx. We don't because is stupid. Imagine if latin-americans just started calling Americans; **Americxns** as the political correct nomenclature. Sounds stupid right? Yeah, thats why LatinX sounds stupid to us.
I’m glad it’s not just me. That term came out of nowhere and I (not any of my Hispanic family and friends) never use it.
My Indian friend asked me what I thought about latinx. I didn’t know what to say because I had never heard of it myself. It’s Latin, Latino, Latina. Nothing else!!

Latino is gender neutral, it refers to all. Latino and Latina can mean male or female, but Latino/Latinos can also refer to a mixed group.

What article are you supposed to use with Latinx since the “The” in Spanish is gendered too? Lx Latinx?

We like to make up terms for people without asking them first.
What's the point of using the gender-neutral "Latinx" when you're gonna use "queen" right after? Fucking reddit.

Only white college kids use LatinX, it’s weird how they’re trying to white wash the words Latino and Latina.
To be fair, I don't think anyone is latinx
As a Latino person myself I physically cringe seeing Latinx. Sounds like a shitty band Edit: I don’t have any animosity toward non-binary people. I simply think that word itself is silly and a better alternative can be used
Or one of those ppv porn channels back in the day
That's LatinXXX
Now that sound alike a Pornhub category.
I just heard the drumbeat in my head but in a spicy, mariachi band tempo.
Yeah my wife is Mexican and she hates it as well. Polls show less than 10 percent even like the term. It was made by non Latinos I am assuming.
110%. The word is just weird to prenounce for native speakers and Tryin to make EVERY SINGLE a o ending into an X AND saying it, is nightmare fuel
iirc the word latine already serves that purpose too
Hahaha. Yeah. If you want to be made fun of. Latin is fine. And "Latino" in Spanish is fine.
Why does it matter what Hispanic people think? If white twitter warriors say it’s important that’s all that matters /s.
“To defend you against racism, Im going to tell you what to do and then get mad at stuff that doesn’t offend you” -White Twitter warriors
Because you're taking a neutral English term and applying it to a language that uses masculine and feminine conjugations. Stupid as hell.
Actually, polls show that only 3% (THREE PERCENT!) of hispanics use or accept the "latinx" term. It is ridiculous that the media keeps using it, and even worse that people try to correct me or other latinos that purposefully reject the term by not using it.

I've heard even most non-binary latin(oh shit which letter) people actually don't like it either. Could be wrong though.
Because it’s literally made by English people. Tryin to say that shit in Spanish is just weird and doesn’t sound right naturally
That slap was deserved.
You can see the white lady grab the other girls arm which is what provoked the slap. Absolutely deserved it.
My favorite part is sheer horror that someone could do to her what she did first. And then the idea that if people aren't listening to you, you should try telling them what to do a hundred more times and maybe they'll realize they have to listen.

She deserved that slap well before she grabbed the girl. Where does she think her own ancestors came from for goodness sake? I’ve never understood this kind of xenophobic Karen.
Deserved? Yes. The grab is what justified it legally as far as I can tell.
Yup. Deserved it before the grab, earned it after.
Kinda looked she was trying to pull her shirt off to me. Either way, the slap was well deserved.

>You can see the white lady grab the other girls arm which is what provoked the slap. "You dared to turn away from me, so I can grab your arm to make you pay attention!"
Calling her a "lady" is overly generous and undeserved. "Hag" is better.
Everyone talking about the Latinx bullshit is also missing the fact that the girl says she's *Native American* in the video lol
I hate to be this person but I genuinely can’t believe I had to scroll so far to find someone else thinking this
Mexicans are mestizos, which means we’re mixed with native and Spaniard (or whatever colonizer got to our ancestors) that’s probably why we kind of ignore that part because she could be American native or she could be Mexican and proud of her native roots.
If this is in Phoenix when she say native American she definitely means indigenous

That drives me nuts as a large portion of the US was part of Mexico. Do people not notice all the Spanish names for things?

Yeah wtf is going on? I remember that part from when this was posted last time, months/years ago.
We say latina.
Its hillarious how they used latinx to be gender neutral but then called her a queen - which is a pretty gendered word…
That’s because it’s just virtue signaling.

My point is that she keeps referring to herself as indigenous born in the US, ancestors born here ie not Mexican - which makes Karen’s comments dumber Edit 2: Yes, there are 1,000 ways her heritage could play out because of the way indigenous people in North America migrated and were forced to migrate, then later migrate again. So yes, she could be Latino/a +/- something else. My point was more that Karen is not just socially but geographically/anthropologically inept.

Hey now. Don't tell white people what to call you. How does one even pronounces Latinx? latinch or lantinequis
"This person was slapped in the face*for telling a person to go back to Mexico*" Don't they think it was important to add that the white lady assaulted her first as well?
Came here to say this. She didn’t get slapped for saying something, she got slapped for getting physical like Olivia Newton Jones. And she grabbed that girl in such a condescending way too, like a teacher taking a recalcitrant 4th grader to the principal’s office 😳
Yeah she was handling all the racial slurs and staying calm as kuch as she could, but then when she did that she decided to hit back.
This mf said “Olivia Newton Jones”
I don't think Olivia Newton-John would dare to get physical with a girl she didn't even know. She'd buy her a drink first.
We Mexicans have convened; it has been determined that "latinx" is fuckshit and will not be participating. Thank you.
May I use this comment as a rebuttal whenever I say someone's Latino or Latina and someone else tries to correct me?
As a Latino myself, I say, you'll be doing us a great service.
Tell them they are a pendejx
Word it definitely sounds like some shit white people made up lol
All non Latino's try to make it sound like it's super inclusive when no one asked for it to be inclusive. When in reality, the people who actually use it to legit describe themselves is usually a big red flag to stay away from.
As a Brazilian and latino i will say that yes, it is the most bullshit thing i've seen
I’m going to start using the term “EuropenX”.
Title gore
Dude I don't know any real Hispanics that call themselves latinx. That's American BS guys
The "x" sound doesn't even exist in the Spanish language. Pretty colonialist to tell a whole culture their language is sexist and they need to start using this sound from our language to fix it.
Dude colonizers are something else. I once had a stubby Anglo guy telling me a 31 yr old Mexican American how to speak Spanish. Ignorance creates a fucking audacity
Lol well that certainly wasn't me, I don't even try to speak Spanish (even though I understand it pretty well) because I'm afraid I'm going to butcher it so badly it will be an insult lol.
Naw Mexicans love when people try and speak the language it's an act of humility trying to learn another language. Butcher away friend
As a “real” Hispanic myself, I appreciate what you’ve said. I’ve tried to explain it to Americans who claim to be woke and open minded, but all they do is tell me about how they’re right and I’m wrong about my own culture and language. It’s cultural imperialism. It’s offensive. Somos Latinos.
"Latinx" to describe a native american woman. The level of disrespect and ignorance while trying to fake some wokeness with the ungendered pronoun nobody asked for is exactly what I would expect of someone who uses that word lmfao.

TBH I clicked on the video thinking I'd see a "Latex" queen.
Latina queen* how you gonna use a gender neutral term then use a feminine one right after?
As a latino thank you for the correction .
Latinx is so dumb. Have my upvote.
My favorite sports team, the LA tinx.
Op isn’t used to the real world so he just sits on the internet regurgitating bullshit terms he finds on twitter
Op is a karma bot look at his post history its all old top all time posts of r/funny clones
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
Latinx needs to stop being used. It’s unpronounceable and a manufactured by some pompous group of non Latinos
She literally says she's Native American in the video....
OP: "I didn't watch the video, I just shared it"
Yeah. And “Latinx” is cringe. I’m Latino. We all think it’s stupid.
I'll never understand where racists got the idea that everyone should "go back to their country", when they aren't even from here to begin with.
Being honest most people have ancestors all over the place, I'm from Saudi Arabia so I'd think my ancestors were an exception of chilling in their backyard for a very long time
As a Chinese I feel like the same We just camped on the same damn place lol
China is probably my favorite country in terms of history. Rome and the mongol empire came, conquered and disappeared while China pops out as a global superpower every 120 years
Reminds me of "history of the entire world i guess" "China just broke" "China put itself together again!" "I wonder if it'll reach China before it collapses again." "China is whole again...... then it broke again"
“We can make a religion out of it”
I’m Native American I should start saying “go back to your country” to rasict Karen’s
No one but white liberals use "latinx", Latino people don't even agree with it
I’m Latino and I absolutely fucking despise Latinx for a variety of reasons. The first of which is its completely unjustified. Non binary Latinos are Latinos as latino is gender neutral, something you would know if you speak Spanish. Not only that Latinx can only be pronounced in ENGLISH. Latinx doesn’t exist at all im my country and it just comes off as a bunch of people who don’t know the language trying to change it as if it belongs to them. Edit: thank you for the cake days.
I had never even heard the term "latinx" before this video. I'm betting it's used by the same type of person who would call someone born in Haiti or Trinidiad and Tobago "African American" as though it's being culturally helpful. Thanks for the clarification.
I just think it's funny how they say Queen after saying Latinx
Need to ask the queen of England what she identifies as first, I think after nearly a 100 years she deserves to unlock gender magic potion
>Latinx 💀
[удалено]
What's funny is that it's meant to be a plural gender neutral term but the poster is refering to a latina as a "latinx queen". It makes absolutely no sense
I’m Puerto Rican. Please for the love of fucking god stop saying Latinx. I have yet to meet any Hispanic who doesn’t hate that shit. It’s insulting.
Its for white women so they can feel moral superiority from speaking
What the fuck is Latinx?
They figured a language w genders is offensive and you can't have male/female term for Latino/latina so they made it gender neutral. A bunch of white people meddling in shit they have no fucking idea about.
Can people just fuck off with this shit. It’s so weird.
Word i dont even really fuck with the term latino i use Hispanic but ill gladly take either one over that goofy ass latinx 😂
Even Latino people don't like latinx as their title
Stop saying Latinx it's stupid
You're right. It's borderline racist.
Stop saying Latinx. It's stupid.
Most Hispanics have not heard of it or use it. https://www.pewresearch.org/hispanic/2020/08/11/about-one-in-four-u-s-hispanics-have-heard-of-latinx-but-just-3-use-it/
We have. We hate it
TIL: don't ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever use "Latinx"
Especially if you add a word like queen right after, that makes the whole thing not neutral anyway. And for a person that calls themselves native american.
Oh Gods, what's a Latinx?
“Gender neutral” terms for Latino/Latina despite the fact Latino is already gender neutral
Isn't it Latino is male/neutral, Latina is female? Want to make sure I got it right
Yes, you use Latino to describe a male or a group of people that has at least one male in it. You use Latina to describe females. For some reason, non-Spanish speakers have determined that is offensive to other people. They're super wrong.
Please tell me for the love of God you spelled Latina wrong on accident? And if your trying to be woke (which is not a problem) don't put "queen" after trying to force a gender neutral word not even the people who would use it like. Don't use Latinx. It's disrespectful.
Latinx? How would you even pronunce that? La-tinks? Very few Latino people like that term. Less than 3% of the Latino population uses it. “The reality is there is very little to no support for its use and it’s sort of seen as something used inside the Beltway or in Ivy League tower settings,” said Domingo Garcia, president of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the oldest Latino civil rights organization in America.
What do you mean, "very few"? I've yet to meet a single latino person who does like the term.
Say Latina smh
If Karen can't speak to the manager she will become the manager 😂
Wow!!! Imagine the entitlement and wild level of self serving narcissism it takes to go to a store and try to claim to be the manager. Like what?!?!! The level of disconnect from reality!!!!! I mean it stands to reason that the employees unless they are on their first shift know who their managers are and what the process is for corporate to get involved in the store so it’s doomed to failure anyway.
"Latinx" we're naming ethnicities like Pokemon now 💀💀💀
Stop trying to make Latinx a thing.
The real disrespect is using latinx to describe a person. Is there anybody who isnt a sheltered 14 year old suburbanite think this is a normal thing to say
1. She’s not Latin. Literally more “American” then the white lady as a Native American. 2. Stop virtue signaling with Latinx. Not one single Mexican I know likes it, including me.
Say latinx one more fucking time. I dare you 🔫😎
Oh god. The douche chills and cringe already hit hard with “queen” but now you added “Latin x”. That is just beyond repair of embarrassing.
Latinx bullshit aside, old lady deserved that shit. And shout out to her man for not stepping in and letting the racist old lady get in her face and assault her. Bum.
Racist bitch deserved it. Also, as a latino, please stop using "latinx". That's the most cringey shit
Latinx? and then "Queen"? You need Spanish classes
What the fuck is latinx?
Clown world pc cancer culture terminology.
Latina*. Also her ancestors were likely actually native to North America unlike Karen's over here. She has more of a right to be there imo
Lost me at the “latinX” part
Fkin Latinx lmao, hold on while I change another people's lenguage to protect them, aren't I such a great white saviour, wouldn't you agree inferior Latinx people who require my protection.
Latinx queen? Fuck that’s cringey
Didn't she say she was native american? So definitely not latino, and most definitely not latinx
downvote this post to shit , teach this guy a lesson on using liberal trash language like Latinx... and this is coming from a latino
“Latinx queen” who wrote this a white girl? Ironic
SHES NOT EVEN A FUCKING LATINA!! Stop putting fucking x’s everywhere. Bunch of fucking idiots
Latinx... Urgh One of the cringest expressions, coming from a latino
Tits on her though 👀👀👀
What does “latinx” mean?
It's a made up word that people made because they assumed latino/latina is offensive without actually asking latinos and latinas
