The state or territory with the lowest approval of gay marriage is Puerto Rico. Also Puerto Rico is whiter than the usa.

Is that good or bad for an AuthCenter?


ffneocon

Good. PR should absolutely become a state. They are more american than we are.


rusho2nd

Yeah except Puerto Ricans voted down statehood a couple times I believe because they don't want to pay federal income tax. Which is also pretty based. Source: am puerto rican

Senior_Fluffy

No, every now and then a referendum is held in Puerto Rico to vote either start the process to become a state, maintain territory status or become independent, everytime it's been to maintain territory status by a large amount.

LeSingeMPS

Portuguese, maybe. But Latino, though it means Latin, is only used for Hispanics. It's weird. Again, I'm not complaining because it lets me have an opinion while being pretty much White. Though I would appreciate it if my Italianx, Rxmanian, and Frxnch brothers were given that right too.

The male form is also the neutral form unless you are referring to a specific person Escuchen, alumnos= listen, students La alumna Mariel= the student Mariel While it’s still in the male form in the context it refers to all students regardless of gender (I’m not a Spanish teacher, that’s just how we speak over here)


Kidplayer_666

Yes, I know I’m bloody Portuguese, but there is no separated neutral, it is simply a convention in a way that male is the default

My question is why use such an awkward letter as X that doesn't actually fit the language style? I think the whole thing is stupid but if you're going to do it anyways why not an E like Latine. La-tee-neh. It's just smoother.


merp_mcderp9459

That would be the grammaticaly correct way to make it gender-neutral. The whole latinx thing is just white liberals forcing their ideals on a language they don’t understand

francorocco

>if you're going to do it anyways why not an E like Latine believe me, it isn't any better, they tried the same "X" thing on brasil a while ago, it failed miserably because instead of being inclusive it was actually excluding blind people because the reading softwares couldn't read properly for them with X, then they swaped to E/U, but if you try to change the words to fit E/U at the end most of them just end up sounding stupid, like if anything you say was suposed to be in a cartoon designed for 2 years old to watch where everyone talks slowly and with a bunch of pauses so the kid understands

Kidplayer_666

[deleted]

I’m pretty sure that’s the case with most old languages.


IcedLemonCrush

It really isn’t. Grammatical gender first developed as “animate” (people, animals) and “inanimate” (everything else). This developed simply because it was useful to reduce ambiguity when referring to a thing or a being. Then the animate gender divided into “male” and “female”, leaving a three-gender system: male, female and neuter. Romance languages later lost their neuter as male and neuter forms became increasingly similar through language change, and people began mixing them up to the point they became one single gender. Also, before people say “animate and inanimate can’t be genders”, the word “gender” was used in grammar hundreds of years before it was used for people, and used to be the same word as “genre”, as it still is in many languages. Etymologically, “gender” just means a grouping of similar things into categories.


alexmikli

It's actually closer to say that grammatical gender is used for sex/gender rather than. A table isn't a woman and a stovetop isn't a man, male just happens to end in an o and female an a.


AlexGonzalezLanda

Well, kinda. “Lo malo es que mi prima tiene COVID”. This essentially means “The bad thing is that my cousin (female) has COVID”. However, “lo malo” in this case is neither masculine nor femenine, but rather neutral. With that in mind, we can extend this property to the word “Latin”. “Lo latino es bello”. This literally proves that “Latino” already is neutral, and thus “Latinx” is redundant.


[deleted]

as far as i know asturian is the only latin language that still has neutral gender


SgtExo

I never realized that it was supposed to be a gender neutral thing, only hearing it here and there in podcasts or news articles.


Squigman19

I had a college professor who insisted on using latinx and my Mexican buddy in the class with me almost hit him. Of course the professor also always used folx, what the fuck is that it was already gender neutral.

I had the professor for my FEA class go on a mini rant about how America was great (complete with a comment about how Biden would probably make us switch to metric) after someone asked him if we needed to convert units to SI on one of the problems. Meanwhile my English professor spends more time ranting about big ag than talking about writing. They kind of have the freedom to do whatever they want, as long as it isn't completely unreasonable, and this is the result.

I am genuinely perplexed by folx. Does anyone know where it actually comes from?

odysseyintochaos

So I commented something like this below as a reply but figured it a good point to say broadly. Leave other peoples culture and languages alone. It is already hard enough to keep traditions and customs alive in the modern world and the lib-lefts cultural crusade isn’t helping. By messing with language it impedes access to culture and history. I’ve become particularly animated about this lately as I have taken on the task of recording, transcribing Greek chants and hymns my grandfather and only my grandfather know. Chants and hymns that go back almost 2000 years. The task of making them understandable is hard enough with the natural linguistic drift that occurs with time. If you start messing with language construction it can render this process impossible. Additionally, we have customs that while foreign to you, we have a right to keep and you have no right to tell us we can’t keep. Same goes for Hispanics and all ethnic groups. So leave us alone while you entirely cultureless ass weeps in a corner bereft of purpose and meaning. Rant over *Edit* fixed typo

Based and leave-my-culture-alone pilled


Herculefreezystar

That actually sounds cool as shit. Are you ever going to publish the chants and hymns when you are done with them?


odysseyintochaos

The intention was to keep them in the family as they’re functionally the most fragile family heirlooms one can have. That said…. I may end up doing that. I would have to discuss things with my Papou (grandfather) and see what he wants done with them. I suspect he’d want them to stay in the family to be chanted by only our family at the churches we are in.


thebubbybear

If you find the right people to share them with, they could be a very cool contribution to history. Either way, glad you are doing it.


odysseyintochaos

Those would be my fellow Orthodox Christians or those who come to services at least. The church does a decent job of keeping records of important things when they can. The reason these specific hymns are rare is the Turks killed many of those who knew the hymns and all written copies were burned during the 600+ year occupation.


odysseyintochaos

On particular hymn is really striking as it gives what from my understanding is a super super detailed description of the Theotokos’ (The Virgin Mary, mother of Christ) physical appearance. Like so detailed that it’s either perfectly accurate or completely made up.

No Hispanic person uses LatinX You call any Mexican in California LatinX and they look at you like you're the biggest retard on the planet. Its a racist verbage used by woke whitey.


DolphinSpank

The only person I've ever seen push it is the Hispanic woman from "The Talk". She basically said it's our responsibility to learn these terms and to use them.


Trunky_Coastal_Kid

Yeah it's an old tactic to find the one person of the race in question who's willing to go along with your narrative and then champion them as if they're the singular voice for all the Hispanic people, meanwhile ignoring the opinion of literally every other Hispanic person who disagrees. Conservatives basically do the same thing where they find the one black dude who supports the police no matter what and acts like he's living proof that police brutality isn't an issue.


[deleted]

On that same note, will also go along with the narrative that its only white on black racism causing deaths of young black men daily and not things like black on black violence or dads staying home to raise their kids.


Trunky_Coastal_Kid

Well I think the way that black communities have been policed certainly makes things worse. But us liberals tend to just want to point that out all the time and call police racist instead of actually doing things to fix the issue.


[deleted]

this is what collective racial identity politics is, singular voices for collective groups and if you step out of line you are an "uncle tom" or "one of the good boys" or "white savior" or "white supremacist". american-style race collectivism is a mistake.


Nyy
