  I have no horse in this race, but last I heard most Latin people do not like that term. >
  
  I read the headline and was like, "Wait, isn't this a good thing?" >
  
  Not using it is fine. Basically no one does.  Banning it is a waste of time and pure virtue signaling. >
  
  Shouldn't governments all use the same language for racial classification?
  Would ie make sense for one department to use one term and for another department to use another term? >
  
  Did you read the article? 
  
  Within 60 days of the order, “all state offices, departments, and agencies” will be expected to have revised “all existing written materials by replacing the terms ‘Latinx’, ‘latinx’, ‘Latinxs’, or ‘latinxs’ with ‘Hispanic’, ‘Hispanics’, ‘Latino’, ‘Latinos’, ‘Latina’, or ‘Latinas’”.
  
  They aren't clarifying anything. Different departments can change it to whatever they want. It's just a publicity stunt. >
  
  And just like that, inflation vanished >
  
  They are going to bring up inflation again after they push back with the culture war. >
  
  There is no inflation, it’s corporate exec pay packages. Not hard to look and find out. >
  
  Whew, good thing she tackled something important instead of doing something about the third highest motherhood mortality rate in the US, just behind Syria's.
  Edit:  Sorry, sorry. FOURTH highest, not third. My bad. >
  
  Lol, republicans don't give a shit about women.
  Huckabee is a vile woman who is more upset when the McRib gets cancelled than when a woman dies in labor or from a complication of pregnancy. >
  
  Another red welfare state stuck in the 1700s. I almost pity them. >
  
  I thought they were against cancel culture . >
  
  Because of all the important issues Arkansas needs to address, the use of Latinx is definitely #1. Some priorities. >
  
  I'll take "Shit that doesn't matter" for $400. >
  
  Not very based.  Also what a scumbag. >
  
  That'll fix inflation >
  
  Is her fetish showing? >
  
  Adding the x is stupid, just like Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Even a broken clock, I guess... >
  
  I had a funny feeling that use of Latinx would have naturally withered away with time, given its linguistic artificiality and unpopularity among Latinos in general. 
  But now that it's been drafted into in the mainstream culture war who knows. >
  
  How very woke of her considering very few Latinos have a favorable view of "Latinx". >
  
  Like giving your car keys to a drunk for safe keeping >
  
  She also banned horses on account of the childhood accident she had which lead to her disfigurement.  Her pet horse stomped on her poor little face as a young child, terrible story. >
  
  Bold move. I can see inflation going down and hourly pay increasing already >
  
  dumb, attention seeking, because she won't be able to actually accomplish anything else >
  
  Dumb attention seeking is a core component of republican election strategy. >
  
  It's funny, because both its creation and its banning (in this one state) are performative actions, devoid of any true value or governance.  I've never met a Latino person who liked the term Latinx (many had never even heard of it), and a lot of my friends thought it was insulting that white people were taking to "correcting" their language.
  And here is Sarah Sanders making a grand gesture of removing this "loonie left" phrase for a group of people that already face enough issues in the South, and yet I doubt a single person in Arkansas really cares. >
  
  I have heard some lgbt latinos using it and preferring it. And tbf, at the end of the day, those are the people who should be making a choice on if it's allowed to be said, rhe people who use it. Just like when we in the English lgbt community have our own phrases that no everyone uses and many dislike.
  Ofc I know many lgbt latinos hate the word. But like... if they aren't using it, whatever. Let people speak hoe they wanna speak when it isn't a slur imo. Not really a fight for a bunch of non-latino Americans to be having. As far as I see it  it's up to the latino lgbt community only to have, as the non-lgbt latinos are not gonna be as understanding or caring about the causes and effects (see any lgbt community and non-lgbt community, btw. Many straight people dgaf and even abhor anything that isn't for them in the first place). >
  
  "Can I get that in writing?"
  Document created
  "HAHA, you've just broke the rule, straight to jail." >
  
  Yes, pronouns are destroying America and therefore must be a government priority. >
  
  I understand latinx isn't all that popular of a term for various reasons but...this is litterally censorship >
  
  
  this is litterally censorship
  
  No, no it is not. >
  
  Can state lawmakers use latinex when drafting state bills?
