    Latino is a word that springs from spanish. It isn’t actually an English word, it just got borrowed.

    Lol what? Where do you think English gets me out of its words.

    So, not only was the word co-opted from Latino people

    Copoted? Are you kidding?

    the crazy crackers decided that they could ignore the objections of Latinos to the change to their words

    “Their” words? The term originated from LGBT AMERICAN Latinos. It’s an English term because it originated in American by Americans Latino heritage. You need to stop gatekeeping basic words.

    if you don’t know any latinos well enough to ask about this kind of thing

    Ask about what kind of thing? If they don’t like it that’s totally fine. I really don’t care one way or the other. It has 0 impact on me. But to say the word itself is racist and co-opted is also just stupid

    and he’ll do this half hour long rant in spanglish about it that is impressive in both scope and venom. And you don’t even wanna hear his mom go off about it! She gets mean lol.

    What does this have to do with anything other than people can have preferences
