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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphine Prince 96,178 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 always thought it was simply a gender neutral term that replaces latino/a “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.

That’s the whole point of the song. 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 Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
