Well the letter X does exist in Spanish, you just canāt pronounce it practically with the term ālatinxā. like Mexico is pronounced meh-hee-coh or Oaxaca is pronounced wah-haa-cuh.

He (and she) should sing either "latino made" or "latin made". That "latinx" thing jumped straight from performative white woke twitter kids and kind of gives the song that same shallow and performative aftertaste. Like, it's being sang to show how woke you are rather than to show genuine support. That's really the only thing that annoys me about this and I admit, a lot of it is due to my own issues with how people go about sensitivity these daysĀ Ā it seems to never come from a true, understanding and sympathetic/empathetic place, just a "look how good I am at being good and how bad others are at being good" place. It's fine though, I guess Ā I'm still streaming the original songs regardless, it doesn't make that much of a difference to me. I'll just pretend to not hear the "-x" next time I see Gaga live Same, as a Latino I find the term LatinxĀ offensive and it feels like people are trying to make me sound like some kind of program/code/robotĀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latine is definitely way way better to say but then white wokeĀ people of America Ā would start a frenzy about it somehow lmao.Ā Yeah I wouldn't have a problem with it if I didn't find it so obviously performative and fake.

Its archaic form means east or the land where the sun rises. In South East Asia and East Asia, orient also refers to luxury or anything fancy.Ā The word 'Orient' being offensive is probably a US thing. I don't think it has offensive or derogatory connotations outside America. I'm not very good with Social Mediaįµį“¹ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
