Latinos overwhelming dislike the label Latinx: update: Latino Democrats want to ban fake word

You heard it first here. To be politically correct many of us must now refer to ourselves (in Texas) as Anglxes.

I find it interesting that on MSDNC / MSNBC there is a 100 percent use of LatinX. How about ABC/NBC/CBS?
I assume Fox would have close to zero useage?

 

On a semi related note. I find it strange how 'People of Color (PoC)' is now a politically correct term when its just a few steps removed from saying 'Colored people'.

 

2020 is the identity lottery year.

You get a new identity! You get a new identity! Everyone gets a new identity!!!

That is interesting. Is it just a historical thing, or is there something about the grammatical structure that makes “colored person” more offensive?

I especially like the great pink washing of having three of the tops arms industry companies having women CEO's --a nice image of female nurturing.

People of color is more expansive and includes any race of color, while colored people was used to describe blacks often in a derogatory way. A lot has to do with the historical context of the expression versus the literally meaning of the words.
