Naysayers call the term a form of “neocolonialism,” or a way for non-Hispanic progressives to control what Latin people call themselves — in other words, a “white people thing.”

Do you think

[HIDEK6]

That is nearly the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.

[Marko413]

As I recall, Spain determines the grammar of the language and they officially rejected the term. For the same reasons as others have said, it’s a germanic rule in a Latin language. It doesn’t make sense.

Most Hispanics aren’t spanish. They have absconded the cultures of central, south america and the carribean.

White progressives think they know whats best for their Brown,Black, Yellow and Red brothers and sisters.
Latinos are proud of their language. This Latino says **** off Neo-Marxists ***holes.

[Republican Wildcat]

Because it is a term for woke, rich, virtue signaling liberal whites - not something the Latino community had anything to do with.

[arthurus]

And it rhyes too closely with “stinks.”

Per the headline; BECAUSE IT’S A STUPID MADE UP WORD THAT IS MEANINGLESS!

National Hispanic Heritage Month officially kicks off Sept. 15

The Hispanic celebratory month starts on the 15th? Talk about embracing the manana spirit.

[Eleutheria5]

No sh!t, Sherlock.

It’s not a White person thing. It’s simply that the term homogenizes them. It doesn’t allow for any tribal pride. So no Cubanos, no Puertos, no Chicanos, just Latinx. Brought to you by idiot commies of these ethnicity groups taught communism in school by the liberal white woman.

[Faith Presses On]

Some (white) people were well funded for thinking it up, and ever since then, more of them have been well funded for promoting it.

I’ve estimated that my former college professors, white liberal feminists, have made hundreds of thousands of dollars over their careers just teaching mostly other white people white-created ideas on race. Then about the same on class issues. And most of what’s taught is never shared with people at large, including the low-income and black and Hispanic people that it’s primarily about. “Trade secrets” and all.

It doesn’t help that “Latinx” sounds like a laxative.

Otherwise, a few are using the -e suffix as neutral. But again, “Latine” sounds much like Latrine, which resurfaces the scatological connection.
