It's pronounced Latinx. A thread.

Latin is the language of the extinct Roman Empire.
-
Y también es la base de italiano, frances, español y varios otros lenguajes. Sin Latin, español no existiria.

Your point being? The discussion is about labeling a group of people, dude.
-
My point being that folks "labeled" Latin DO have a Latin history. No seas pesado, dude.
-
Sure, a Latin history (as in heritage?) that’s mainly imperialist. Latina/x/o implies making a distinction from the colonial “Hispanic.” En tu afán de educarme con tu mansplaining decides ignorar la urgencia de buscar términos que no apelen a los vínculos coloniales. ¿Pesado yo?
-
La cosa es que todos los terminos estan hechos para separar a la gente...sea nacionalidad o algo que se auto identifica.

It's not for me to say, but I find Latino/a/x & Hispanic somewhat troubling, because they refer to the colonizers & extinguish the Indigenous ppl.
