lol wicca is absolutely white but not because of pagan history, because it was invented by an old white dude as an excuse for his fetish of outdoor loving in forests

it's such a useless loving word- "latin" is already an anglicised form of latino or latina that does away with the gender connotation. it literally exists for no other reason than to show that you're woke.

I (half-Mexicano) explained that it would make more sense in Spanish to use an e or another vowel to make it gender neutral and was told that it was wrong and worse than an X because “e” implies plural in Italian

"Kingdom of Hawaii" is just a proper noun for the last iteration of Hawaii as an independent nation, not a literal call for a return to monarchism.

Only in some words - feminine plural of words ending in "-a", specifically, which includes "latina". In other words, "-e" is singular, with an "-i" plural. "-a" is singular, but not necessarily feminine or masculine (if masculine, it will pluralize to "-i", if feminine to "-e"). "-o", on the other hand and as far as I know, is always masculine singular (plural "-i"). "-u" is rare, can be either masculine or feminine, and always pluralizes to "-u". Almost all of these rules come straight from Latin declensions: feminine "-a/-e" from the first declension, masculine "-o/-i" from the second, "-e/-i" from the third, with the singular form modeled on the ablative case and the plural form on the nominative (or possibly both on the vocative? I don't remember)

I've never heard anyone actually use the term latinx in spoken conversation, but I've had people do the a/o thing tho. Just using the e at the end would be pretty good!!!

Eh? I really had a white friend tell me that. It might have been about I instead of E but their basic argument was that “x” is gender neutral across all Romance languages therefore using an E/I in Spanish was bad. I’m not just making this up for CSPAM cred my fellow goon.
