[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Spanish language itself is steeped in gender. English-speaking people trying to change and neutralize another culture’s language to suit their politically motivated worldview is deeply offensive to native Spanish speakers.

Duh. [/quote]

At my agency we recently had a mandatory training and we told to try to use LatinX and the native Spanish speakers gave this same feedback. But hey, if it makes the Upper West Side and NPR happy, I guess that is what you do.[/quote]

Precisely this! Latinos see this for what it is: racist old fashioned colonialism in the guise of “inclusion” of the LGBTQ community. It is exactly the same thing white colonizers did in the distant past to Native Americans. Change “savage” cultures to be more “modern” and imposing their worldview on what these racist liberals thought were inferior peoples and cultures.

The fact of the matter is that a large swath of working class blacks and Latinos are not on board for this far left cultural shift that these upper class white elitists are trying to impose on them in the same guise of benevolence and enlightenment that was used on Native people in the past.[/quote]

DP.  Well said.  And it's so typical that these liberals actually think of themselves as saviors, swooping in to rescue POC (who don't need rescuing).  It's sickening, actually.[/quote]
