Well the letter X does exist in Spanish, you just canât pronounce it practically with the term âlatinxâ. 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 days  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  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 Latinx offensive and it feels like people are trying to make me sound like some kind of program/code/robot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone here actually was offended by that once  13 minutes ago, ProfessionalClown said: Yep. Latine is definitely way way better to say but then white woke people of America  would start a frenzy about it somehow lmao. Yeah I wouldn't have a problem with it if I didn't find it so obviously performative and fake. It's just a bit sad to see that feeling invited into a song as important as BTW. đ Too cute to be this overworked and underf*ckedđ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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 Mediaá”áŽč Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
