Oh, that's easy. "Latino" is obviously sexist.
All that to avoid having to say the word "Mexican."Xan wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 12:06 pm In Spanish and other Latin-derived languages, an "-a" suffix indicates the feminine. A group consisting entirely of Hispanic women are said to be "Latina".

This means that there isn't a way to describe a group entirely comprised of men, but there is for women. However, this is cast as sexism in that a single man changes the sex of the entire group to the masculine.
"Latinx" apparently is the PC way to say "Latin of any sex".
Sometimes the truth lies somewhere between

It's kind of funny that this is going on even while NIH is trying to push sex as a biological variable, e.g. you now have to replicate all experiments done with male mice with female mice. And, it's well known that there IS some gender specificity in risk factors to certain diseases, clinical course, response to treatments etc, so we are supposed to record gender in notes.

Moral of the story? No, LOL, that’s throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

They tried to perpetrate their faggotry on cadets and midshipmen during the Army-Navy game recently. A quick investigation revealed that, of course, they were playing the circle game and not flashing gang signs while in uniform on a national televised football game attended by the commander in chief. The circle game is un-profesh so they'll probably be walking the area for a while.Kriegsspiel wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 5:46 pm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU4AbJrsZwU
Some family & USA Today got some kid fired for playing the circle game:

I saw that headline and had to chuckle a bit. I figured Tim was going to get after it. Poor guy could probably sue for wrongful termination and defamation or whatever.
