There’s different preferences in every community. This article lays out some of the nuance and different opinions and perspectives around any word that purports to describe so many people at once in case it helps. www.motherjones.com/media/2019/0...

So to me it seems like the actual best practice is “just refer to people the way they like on a case by case basis, be humble if they tell you something different, and try to not be dogmatic or prescriptive” or, put even more simply, “let’s just not be assholes”

The hilarious thing is that you could be serious.

Hilarious in what sense? I personally don’t care, but I just remember a lot of the backlash to “latinx” being from Latin people who were like, “um, we didn’t pick that”

I live in Portland where latine is real. Add any letter but o or a and they fall into orgasmic bliss. They being almost entirely white progressives.

Yeah see that’s why I was rebutting the “x”, i know a lot of latin folks in like, theatre, and most of them use the “e” if they use anything at all, which is where we agree, it’s a largely extrapolated “solution” that didn’t really originate from the group itself.
