bruuuuuuuuuh I got an email asking for tech LatinX people to join for a talk on our problems facing x shit in tech.

As a Mexican American (I am more American than Mexican, but whatever) and your standard gun tootin Texan: fuck you, do not call me LatinX

I know both English and Spanish (and other languages that won't disclose here because fk u) well and believe that adding such buuuuuuuullshit to my beautiful Spanish is utter nonsense.

I sent it to the network admin and ask him to block them fuckers from ever sending emails my way ever again as spam.

LatinX....what a fucking joke

    I agree with you.
    Mexico shouldn't be considered latin anymore.

    Isn't the adjective form the genderless Latin as in "Latin people"?

    Til latina and latino are different things.

    Funny apple thinks latina has to be written with capital L but doesn’t care about latino “L” being lower case. Am I about to be enlightened once again? Is there a reason for that behavior?

    Also latinx is stupid also also doesn’t even exist in apple’s dictionary.

    @c3r38r170 it hangs by a small thread in which: it is a Spanish speaking country, but its position and financial status is embedded in the Americas.

    Semantics schemantics

    I was expecting to go on a language inclusivity defending rant but holy shit “Latinx” is not the hill to die on. The Black and Puerto Rican caucus tried to ban it from government documents. It is really not popular among the people it’s supposed to refer to. The fact that I figured out this was not a term to be using as research for a devrant comeback so that shows you how little research the HR folks / talk organizers did.
