New York University’s LGBTQ+ Center first used the term in an Instagram announcement about their “Cultural and Identity-Based Graduation Celebrations” to “acknowledge and celebrate the accomplishments of graduating students of color and LGBTQ+ students,” according to Campus Reform. An event titled “Latine Grad” was featured in the post. Similar to “Latinx,” “Latine” is presumed to be a gender-neutral alternative to “Latino” or “Latina.”
However, past polls have indicated that Latin–American respondents did not appreciate the effort to implement “Latinx” into their every day vernacular.
Critics of the “Latinx” term have complained that the word does not conform to the rules of the Spanish language, which attaches masculine and feminine meaning to nouns.
Writing for Swathmore College’s The Phoenix, Gilbert Guerra and Gilbert Orbea called the term “a blatant form of linguistic imperialism.” They continued, arguing that activists are “forcing U.S. ideals upon a language in a way that does not grammatically or orally correspond with it.”

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We just launched a GiveSendGo page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
