A Tribe Called Quest had a hit song with the N-word in the title (Sucka N---). I as a white person certainly won't go using that.


I thought it was Julio get the stretcher!

So whether Julio is a Paramedic (like David Lee Roth) or a Chauffeur (like Baines or Jeeves) it’s racist in a song. I would love to be in a song. Jennifer, get the stretch!

Hate is a strong word.

And your individual compliance is not required. Fact remains: the correct term is Latinx.

Use it or face the consequences.


So even if most Latinos don’t want to be called that it doesn’t matter what they want? That seems oppressive.


Of course. Woke white liberals now speak for everyone and are the arbiters of what is and isn’t offensive. Ignore that at your peril.

These people must be incredibly not fun to hang out with either. I have friends of all colors and backgrounds and the one thing we have in common, we can speak freely and have a laugh at each other's expense. Lighten up, woke folk!

If you know you can't use it with one particular group, than you probably shouldn't use it at all.


I would say”okie dokey” instead.
