First off this is nowhere near calling someone a removed.
But you got to agree the defense against inclusive language they’re using is the same old shit they did, they’re doing with fggot=pto (B-but the language is sacred! It’s so annoying I have to think before I talk! As True Leftists, we know Latins are racist, so we got to be racist to “win” them over!)
Mypoint is that they are imposing themselves over everyone else in a way that is not only questionable, but turning an easy victory into something that antagonizes people sensitive about these things
Oh god, you’re in a leftist space. Almost everything we believe and want here would be “imposting things in latinamerica!!” in some way to the ways they currently are! You wouldn’t have a problem discussing socialism to a latin, even if they’re sensitive because of anti-communist propaganda, you shouldn’t have a problem of trying to respect and promote inclusive language
because of gueros.
Not people in latin america fall into gendered language binaries. Not everything is all-powerful white people poisoning us, the innocent, dumb latins.
Just take the easy win and use latin.
And I like to think you’re still reading after this point, cus I agree. I prefer latin instead of latino-latine-latin@ (tho I’m a bit impartial to this one, it’s true some people have pronouns that don’t end in o-a)-latinx. But I respect its use in the name of inclusion. If you believe spanish should be a more inclusive language, then we’re on the same page. How to make it inclusive, is another issue entirely, but it’s one that’s better discussed and dealt with amongst queer-nb-women latin progressives and not whatever dumb anglo or socially conservative latin can come up with.
the perfect example of a low effort cause that villifies a people for speaking in a way that is authentic.
…bigotry is authentic? I think I’ll pass with your “authenticity”.
They’re sensative becaus gringos keep trying to force them to speak a certain way and back hom the elite tried to sanitize and europeanize their culture.
What the fuck. Why are you just parroting right wing talking points about the Libs Just Forcing Progressiveness Down Our Throats???
We really should look into more race stuff when it comes to latin america, yeah there’s no one drop rule but the inequalities and cultural hegemony are obvious.
…are you american???
Performativity is not a real solution, it’s symbolism.
again, it’s inclusive language. In here, we accept inclusive language. In latamerica, we’re just trying to do the same. This is not hard to understand.
