  Also AFAIK most non-binary or genderqueer folks prefer Latine, and Latinx was supposed to be a visual protest (crossing out the o or a) not a new word.
context: Wait, she won an election? She could barely handle being a press secretary. lol What the hell? >
  
  I was completely caught off guard seeing this. The system really is flawed if she is allowed success after her previous performance. >
  
  The sad thing is that she beat out an extraordinarily accomplished person who studied nuclear engineering at MIT and got a PHD in urban planning. Arkansas had a chance to elect a progressive leader but the masses chose a back-water troglodyte. >
  
  Speaks loads about Arkansas’ education system. >
  
  Yeah, we ain’t the best, but not the worst either :) >
  
  Is the state motto still " we ar better'n Kansas" ? >
  
  Thank god for Mississippi >
  
  Mississippi " furst at last" >
  
  If "Latine" was the term du jour, she'd ban that instead. Just virtue signaling for the culture war right. >
  
  "You changed it TO Latrine?!?"
  (Yes I'm aware of the etymology up there, silly joke) >
  
  Used to be shithoux. >
  
  That’s a good change!…👌🏽.. a good change… >
  
  I bet the only time that 'Latinx' was used in an official document was this law. >
  
  See single handedly saved Arkansas >
  
  Why does GOP always legislate stupid crap. Who cares? Feed the hungry, fix the roads, cut down on political grift. . >
  
  It’s red meat to their dumb racist base. >
  
  “Dur, she’s so cool! She doesn’t take none of this critical race theory from nobody cuz she a fighter.”
  “I’m sure any day now she’s gonna help hardworking folks like me with rising prices and housing costs. Just has to do other stuff first. Any day now…” >
  
  Nailed it >
  
  Really “focusing” on the difficult work, good job fudge fingers. >
  
  I know it's not important,  but I do actually agree Latinx should be banned.
  Edit: I'm south American guys, it's pretty offensive. >
  
  Apologies for being ignorant, but why is the term offensive to Latino people?  Is it a grammatical thing because of how Spanish words are masculine/feminine?  Or is it something else? >
  
  I wouldn’t say offensive as much as blatantly ignorant.
  Latino is both a male AND a gender-neutral term, so when people try and use Latinx, for many people here it feels.. patronizing? Ignorant? I don’t have a great word for it but yeah. >
  
  The argument (in French and doubtlessly the other romance languages) is that it is sexist that the masculine is the default. That said, it does seem to largely be used by white people and rejected by Latinos (though I do have one anecdotal exception). >
  
  It seems individual preference among the Latinos I know. I work in a non-profit that both serves and is staffed by predominantly first-and-second generation Central and South American immigrants. About half use Latinx in their personal correspondence. In org materials it's usually written as "Latino/a".
  They ALL hate Latin@ though! >
  
  I thought Latiné sounded like the best way to go. It's gender neutral without looking like a typo. >
  
  Props to her stylist for dressing her like Dolores Umbridge. >
  
  Really on top of the most pressing issues in Arkansas. >
  
  It's Arkansas, not Yurkansas >
  
  UterUS, not uterYOU >
  
  Whoa, that's huge. I'm sure this will really propel Arkansas' economy. >
  
  And chip away at infant mortality >
  
  Sarah Huckabee Sanders is what happens when a religious zealot fucks a bison. >
  
  Aw man, don’t insult the bison like that! Theyre already having a hard time as it is, without Sanders coming to fuck them. >
  
  anyway it was a goat >
  
  Culture war BS is all the Republicans know how to do. >
  
  Ah, freedom! >
  
  Few things baffle me more than a solid 30-40% of this nation just not giving a single fuck that their political leaders literally do nothing to make their lives better. Just amazing shit there. >
  
  "Lazy eye" is still legal. >
  
  Lazy?! That eye wanders enough to have Sean Penn and Eddie Vedder team up on its biopic. >
  
  At least she’s focusing on the important things. >
  
  From the party of "free speech". >
  
  She banned telling the truth about American Slavery too. >
  
  Actually, I don’t know if Latinos mind this. >
  
  You're right. They don't... In fact the term Latinx drives my Latina wife crazy. The correct term is 'Latinos' (which is gender neutral when used in plural form). Singular form would be Latina (female) or Latino (male). >
  
  Yeah I dislike SHS but latinx is a pox, and that's coming from a nonbinary white person. Like.....don't break the grammar of a language that actually makes sense. >
  
  I'm almost afraid to ask at this point but how do you actually pronounce latinx?  It's not a word I've ever had to vocalize.  Is it la-tinks or latin-ex?  Something else? >
  
  Rhymes with kleenex. >
  
  Huh yeah I could see why actual Latinos wouldn't like that.  Very awkward to say and sounds like a cleaning product.  Or maybe some kind of medicine for chronic constipation >
  
  Im latino and the only people I mostly see use this are white people. The only latina I ever seen use that term was AOC. >
  
  A Latinx person used it on drag race the other day. >
  
  That definitely helped someone pay their rent >
  
  Gah imagine being that miserable, that that’s the very first thing on your to do list. >
  
  This is exactly why Katie Hobbs (D) is governor of Arizona and not Kari Lake. Hobbs addressed homelessness, LGBT+ discrimination, and education reform her first days in office rather than focusing on performative politics. >
  
  Latinos dislike this term. So she's doing them a favor. It's 'Latinos'. So thanks Sarah! Though I know pleasing the Latino population wasn't your intention.  SMH
