The worst part is..I’ve only ever heard southern “country” folk use the word cholo or chola…

Hmm…what if it said “whether you’re white trash”? We would still be good? You think white people would be okay with just muting it?

Yes... as an insult... why do some people pretend like she sang Born This Way to diss people? :rip: Does the context not matter? Should I be insulted that singled out Lebanese people?

She was talking about lesbians. Just kidding but have you seen that glee episode about Britney and Santana? The 2010's were so different lol

Just imagine Justin Bieber making a song about acceptance in 2021 and saying he loves f words (as in a gay slur). That would not be cool.

As a Latino I’m so tired of the term latinx

Can you explain why? I always thought it was simply a gender neutral term that replaces latino/a

Soft, soothing, and succulent

Also, am I the only one who interpreted “chola” and “orient” as terms used by society and being proud of whoever you are no matter what others think or what they call you? 

That’s the whole point of the song.

It’s supposed to be gender neutral but a lot of people don’t feel associated with it at all. The plural is masculine and for some reason people felt that it was wrong…most Latinos do not care.

I’m Latino and never found the chola lyrics offensive. 

I did however find them cringe as hell :yennefer:

“Latino” is gender neutral in the correct context. 

In the Spanish language terms are gendered but the “male” version is also used as gender neutral.

Example: “Los Latinos somos...” which means “Us Latinos are” 

It is gender neutral. 

LatinX is a term for English speakers, mostly Americans. 

Us Latinos who actually speak Spanish know this term is unnecessary and actually uses the English language to create rules that don’t exist in the Spanish language.

They are probably, I don't believe Gaga said them in an offensive way at all. But I always felt weird about Orient because I'm from that "Orient" and the word holds imperial connotations idk
