[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one I know uses this term. It is yet again a right wing pushed tripe that people buy into.[/quote]

I literally heard it on an NBC News report the other day.  It sounded weird.  [/quote]

And here it is in the Boston Globe. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bostonglobe.com/2021/11/22/opinion/how-latinx-communities-are-benefiting-bidens-economic-agenda/%3foutputType=amp

Are these all products of the imagination of the right?[/quote]

OK, so lets change the thread title to "Latinx backfires on the media"

No clue what any of those links have to do with the Democratic Party.[/quote]

Because the Democrats are the party of progressives. The Latinx is the invention of white elite progressives and it's just another way of mansplanning, so to speak. No one asked Hispanics or Latinos what they thought. It's invented by American academics[b] (elite white liberal American progressives)[/b] and is being forced upon the Latino population without any thought or regard for what Latinos actually do or want. The Latinx is all over Democratic materials and documents. It's a perfect example of the short-sightened, narrow minded bubble of progressives that they cannot fathom the concept of gender in languages and languages can be, well, you know, [i]different[/i].

This is 100% BS. The term "Latinx" emerged from Latin American ethnic studies programs, vast majority of which are populated by academics of Hispanic and Latin American descent. The first usage of the term came from Spanish-language psychological journals from Puerto Rico.

I mean, do you just make up bullsh#t wholesale?
