Turns out if you define a third of your pale population as “Latinx” instead of white, very few white people remain.
Even the 2020 census had the sense (heh) to finally drop the “Hispanic race” and have it as a separate label, but the “researchers” felt like going out of their way to redefine it as a “race” again. Not sure why race is even treated as a scientific thing to begin with in their census, but such is the Amerikkkan way I guess.
Edit: don’t even want to think about the causes of this “age gap”
And people call this rag “leftist” lmao. This racist alarmism would be right at home on Storm Front.
The implication that this is something anyone should care about or even take notice of seems astoundingly racist
The one and only sane comment in this whole thread. If whites are a majority, so be it. If they aren’t, so be it. Stop obsessing over titles (that (general you) claim are a social construct anyway) and get on with your own life. This is…not important.
Whites don’t exist
That’s what makes this all so insane
whiteness isn’t real. it’s a hegemonic construct that will always absorb enough new bodies to maintain it’s dominant positions. many latinos/hispanics are already becoming white as part of this social construction.
Racist “we are the good ones” MAGA Latino/Hispanic people are kind of common in my area and it fucking sucks.
America has been doing this dance for the past 200 years. Too many Germans, Irish, Italians, etc will make white America not white anymore was the old tune and I’m done waiting for Americans to realize that race is a social construct.
The white replacement is real!!! 😂
Negative WAR race

Mmh. Internalized crackery out of someone from the global south; you hate to see it.
Interesting I guess. It’s a no-brainer that this would happen when whiteness is defined by its purity. Some say the definition will be expanded like it was for Italians and Jews, but that requires racists to stop discriminating based off visual appearance so I kind of doubt it. Anyway, rip bozo lmfao
It’s funny, Jews are white right up until the racists need to figure out who is behind the decline in white share of the population, then it turns out we’re shady minority puppet masters
Schrödinger’s whites. So are Slavs
In America, the terms Latino, Latinx, and Hispanic refer to basically anyone from any country in the Americas that is below the United States, geographically and ‘culturally’. It’s essentially a label Americans use to say, " oh you’re from one of THOSE shithole countries".
The great great grandson of a Spanish conquistador who massacred thousands of indigenous people to claim his own plantation is considered the exact same as the granddaughter of an indigenous person on the receiving end. Both are called Hispanics, making the word an utterly meaningless label.
Yeah, I have a particular beef with those labels because, although I usually like my Latin American cousins, my “Hispanic” country speaks Portuguese and not Spanish. In the census there wasn’t even an option for Latin American people who speak languages other than Spanish (Portuguese and French but also Guarani or Quechua or the various creoles).
It’s extra insult to injury that they appropriate the gendered “Latino” instead of just using their own “Latin,” but then feel the need to slap an X on it. I’ve never even seen non-Yankees using latinx instead of the age old latino/a/e/@ out there.
I have seen many Hispanic people in South America writing Latinx on signs, posters, applications, news articles, etc. Its not extremely common but I have seen it plenty of times personally in many places across Equador, Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Mexico.
Its not a “Yankee” cultural imperialism.
Hilariously even Bad Empanada has a video of himself in Argentina where he says he’ll walk out of his house, walk in a random direction, and then end the video when he comes across Latinx in a small city in which almost no one speaks English… He made it less then 2 minutes before coming across a poster for a local community gathering that was advertised towards, Latinos, Latinas, and Latinx. Again, this was in the middle of a non-English speaking small Argentinian city.
My issue is not with gender neutral endings in romance languages (though I think they’re rather underadopted right now), but that for some reason Yankees decided to go with the unpronounceable “X” ending rather than very old and established Latina/o or Latine or even Latin@. In my experience those are way more common than X endings, though I admit I haven’t looked at hard data on that.
They could’ve just called them “Latins/Latin-Americans” but they chose to first a appropriate the grammar for “Latino” then think try to “fix” it in the classic Yankee fashion of not looking at already established norms.
Good.
