So like my earlier question is that gonna be pronounced like la-teen, or like la-tyne

If its pronounced like spanish its "la-tee-neh" instead of latin-oh or latin-ah

Its the masculine/feminine o/a ending replaced with an 'e' vowel ending which is neither masculine nor feminine.

There are lots of spanish words that end in an 'e' instead of an o or a.

At the same time my family served a snake they found in the grass in a Wuhan subdivision development for dinner once.

A team of researchers from Wuhan determined that COVID-19's closest relative is the bat coronavirus BatCoV RaTG13, which was found in a bat from Yunnan Province, so it definitely originated in China. The People's Daily tweet is 100% propaganda.

After reading all these LatinXYZ posts I am more ??? than before. Call yourselves whatever just don't throw a fit if someone gets it wrong in whatever your specific context is as it is just getting more and more confusing. If you can't figure it out no one else is. If I get called Japanese I have a chuckle and make the correction or not, move on. Tired of this culture war BS, you're not your freaking labels.

It almost seems as if this manic focus on markers of identity only serves to divert attention from systemic problems within Western liberal democracies and makes it impossible to build effective political coalitions to challenge the current economic elites! Crazy, I know.

We need to put aside identity politics and focus on building common ground between hard working, salt-of-the-earth common folk like you and me (Xbox owners) to fight against the decadent and conceited elites (PlayStation owners)

Being Latino myself, my perspective of it is that Latinx was a non-binary term that was put up by upper class Latino liberals, specifically in the LGBTQ community. Virtually zero working class Latinos use it, but don't feel too strongly of the words use.

The fire and brimstone passion toward the word is mostly in the context of the American culture war. American liberals defend the word for being inclusive and sees everyone who disagrees as a bigot, while American conservatives see it as an example of bourgeois out of touch whites PC policing a demographic that they know nothing about, all while American leftists openly mock the word as white liberals pushing identity politics despite the fact the word originated among the Hispanic LGBTQ community that they should have some respect for.

It's a Romance of the Three Kingdoms displaying the absolute worst of each side.

It sort of reminds me when "cultural appropriation" gets brought up in the discussion.

This is why a massive indemnity needs to be imposed on china or a decade of punitive sanctions.

I think there might be the risk of follow-on sanctions for banks that are caught dealing with a sanctioned individual, and not surprisingly Chinese banks would rather have access to the global financial system instead of hosting Carrie Lam's WeChat payment account.

On the other hand I'm sure the Shaanxi Rural People's Credit Union would welcome her with open arms lol

I'm not as familiar with Carrie Lam's personality as I should be.

But yeah, this screams performative "Look at how the meanie weenie West is treating us! The US are making so bad that even me, your glorious leader, is so lowly that I cannot have a bank account. Boo hoo, all I have to console me is my piles of cash."

Coz its a very easy way to paint the US as the villain, and HK as the innocent victim of "Western" aggression" as opposed to than Chinese Oppression.
