Like if a specific individual wants to be addressed a certain way, that's a simple thing for the reasons you mention, but it's a completely different matter to have some individuals decide on terms to refer to entire ethnic groups.

Probably Magic posted:They said Latin-Ecks, and I halfway expected Vin Diesel to explode out of a wall. I laughed so hard at this. I just figured from reading that it would be la teen X or something, like keep the first two syllables, but everyone I ever heard actually say it pronounced it like a drat superhero name

I will boldly state that what is happening both in Ukraine and Gaza is relatively insignificant compared to what will happen to the entire human race for at least the next 50-100 years if Trump is reelected and remains there. If the new tri-Axis corner stone of BRICS achieves stability at least a third of humanity will be enslaved by 2100.

Ytlaya posted:Who decides this stuff, though? Idk who decides anything. I remember my AD&D 2E players handbook in the early 90s had a note at the beginning explaining that they used "he" everywhere because it traditionally could be used as a gender-neutral pronoun, and women shouldn't feel excluded or take it as implying that the game isn't for them, sorry but "he or she" is too clunky and "they" is plural. Now obviously that they even had to say that meant that there were conversations about pronouns and gender equality and feminism (not gender identity yet of course), and that they knew some people didn't agree with them. Nowadays you basically never see "he" as gender neutral. But like no wizard's council sat down and decided for everyone, the people who thought that was kinda sexist eventually convinced enough people that the customs changed

What you run up against are the limits of defining 32 different loving countries with one world. Literally, no word is going to make everyone happy. When I was in high school, every week, the Latino club would debate ‘Latino’ versus ‘Hispanic. “Now ‘Hispanic’ has really fallen into the rearview, and it’s all these variations on the rear-end of the word. Latiné is great because it’s Latino-created. I’m cool with all of it. I use them interchangeably because I think the pie is still cooling and it will never be perfect, because it’s trying to capture too much stuff.

gradenko_2000 posted:I'm willing to cop to it if I'm dead wrong on how this relates to the Hispanic community but my position is that I'm Filipino and when they tried to make "Filipinx" happen fuckin' nobody in the mother country liked it, not even the local queer community. I wouldn't say you're dead wrong but it was definitely used by many of the younger latinx (I'll use it since they wanted to use it) peers at my last job. Some of the older latinas (the term they preferred) really hated it though and was at a staff meeting wherein people got pretty fired up about it, while all us mixed/non-hispanic people in the room just tried to be as quiet as possible. Like with most of these things the right thing to do is to use the term that people like for themselves. One thing large parts the thread are definitely wrong about though is that it's a white invention, it generally came up from Spanish speaking places online, or from Pureto Rican writers in academic areas.

Rick posted:
Also this kind of thing is not a recent invention of white millenial SJWs or whatever. Elle was proposed as a gender-neutral alternative to él/ella/ello (he/she/it) in the 70s for pretty much the same reason that gender-neutral alternatives to he or phrases like "all men are created equal" or waiter/waitress steward/stewardess were proposed in English. Women and gender/sexual minorities wanted language to be more equal along with everything else they were trying to make more equal. And it's opposed by the usual stuffy bores who think everything is fine the way it is and these women's libbers are getting too offended by language that has worked for hundreds of years. Personally I think some change along those lines will come eventually. Language is used to communicate and describe our world, if the world changes, language changes. If women gain more equality to men I don't think it's practical for male pronouns to always be the default anymore. As people who don't fit in the gender binary become more visible, a mandatory binary in pronouns just doesn't work. VitalSigns has issued a correction as of 06:45 on Apr 12, 2024 |

Every time someone posts these dumb rebuttals to the notion that Sotomayor should retire strategically I think of the ALAB podcast episode where they're discussing the RGB situation and I think Andy says something along the lines that strategic retirement only makes sense if you have an ideological goal and that while you'd expect that to be true of a political party on its face it's obviously not if you allow the other side to steal one of your nominations that's gifted to you (Scalia) and don't even try to play the game with RBG. The fact that you don't see the value in doing so is proof you aren't fit to be described as a political party. Doing politics is your raison d'etre and if it isn't, you aren't a political party." Not saying anything that isn't completely understood by everyone ITT but I will say I must not be completely grounded in reality because it still surprises me that liberals are so goddamn dumb. I've met some truly stupid chuds but never one as completely braindead as your garden-variety liberal.

Do have to wonder how many radical leftists are on truth social waiting for Donald Trump's recommendation on how they should vote (and why they'd settle on RFK jr instead of Jill Stein or Cornel West or "My Balls" ofc)
