    I used to work with this lifted-truck literally red-necked red neck. He kept going on about how hot his girl was, and how white she was.

    One day he shows me her picture, and she was indeed a very hot dark skinned Latina. Some people are just in denial.

      A lot of Latin American people see themselves as white and would get very offended if you suggest otherwise
      Edit: Sorry I had no idea latinx was offensive

        Having had this conversation with literally 300+ hispanic people, never once has a single one had a single positive thought about “latinx”. Gendered nouns is literally a large part of their language.

          Genered nouns is the backbone of so many goddamn languages. The people being offended by it are the ones that don’t speak that tongue.
