There was one British person in my undergrad program at UT and the next thing you know everyone was saying “flat” instead of apartment like it was normal. Ridiculous.

Yeah the semester abroad people coming back and accidentally calling it a lift https://twitter.com/Joannabr_atx/status/1237360370752372737 This is on the back of a twitter discussion where a guy posted a poll of Hispanic voters in FL that showed that 70% (69% actually  ) prefer Hispanic and that only 1% prefer Latinx. Scott Braddock chimes in and says he's never heard anyone in Texas use that term irl, Gene Wu claps back that that's because he doesn't interact with people under 40, and now the mentions are full of stuff like this. I've seen similar polls that show minuscule support from the Hispanic community around the term Latinx nationally, wondering what y'all see/hear around these parts.

I'm under 40 and had to Google Latinx last year. Legit had never heard the term and none of my family would ever use it either. It makes me cringe seeing it written out in an article

zoux posted:Yeah the semester abroad people coming back and accidentally calling it a lift Honestly, most of the Hispanic people in the area I grew up in just referred to themselves as Mexican. Other than that, I've always heard either Hispanic or Latino. Only heard Chicano regularly used by a college professor. Never heard Latinx used outside of the internet.

Dunno how any of the romance languages are going to handle the de-gendering of language but I'm not sure if it's possible. Luckily in english all our forks are androgynous.Arcella posted:What's the argument for Latinx when Hispanic is already gender-neutral? Well I'm extremely cynical so This poll found only 2% nationally prefer Latinx, and that there was no disparity among women or young Hispanics as some have speculated. zoux fucked around with this message at 15:53 on Mar 10, 2020 |

lmao House Public Health is currently holding a hearing on how to prevent coronavirus spread and from the camera it appears the room is packed. Well, I have a suggestion. https://twitter.com/JohnnieMo/status/1237397877338419201 Not great, not bad https://twitter.com/andreazelinski/status/1237399708848607234 This is good information but I have no idea why anyone who is not an invited witness is in the audience. Watch it on a loving computer! Hellerstedt says the state has adequate testing capacity to contain spread. zoux fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Mar 10, 2020 |

Arcella posted:What's the argument for Latinx when Hispanic is already gender-neutral? Hispanic has been its own can of worms forever because there's an argument about whether Spanish heritage should be dignified as such since that heritage is rooted in the brutal enslavement of indigenous peoples. This is very, very far from a ubiquitous opinion, and anecdotally I've talked to some folks whose families are from Cuba or Mexico who think of Spain sort of as the motherland Kull the Conqueror fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Mar 10, 2020 |

I see Latinx used a lot in real life, but I'm in a lot of social justice-y circles so that doesn't mean it's universal. It's pretty common now at colleges and in LGBTQ communities, because it's more gender-neutral than Latino and Hispanic is also a term folks tend to shy away from here. I think it's sort of generational, sort of depends-on-your-circles. But my fiancee is Latina, and she just says her feelings about "Latinx" are complicated.

Hey zoux and crew, turns out the person in hospital just had a different virus, not corona. Our 25% of the building is gonna be disinfected (no idea what that means) and then we'll have to go back to work eventually. booooo. We're in Collin County if that helps.

Not commenting on anything else, but when it comes to Latin America language evolution, any appeal to how the language gets used in Spain is probably not going to go over smoothly.

Everyone is focusing on the completely inept response to COVID-19 from the Feds, but listening to this panel all day makes me feel like the state health and emergency officials have a realistic perspective and realistic capacity to handle an outbreak (depending on severity of course). Better than Lombardy anyway. You guys seeing any "social distancing" where you are in the state? Cancelled events, emptier streets and restaurants, etc. Traffic in Austin remains unaffected
