#also i Hate when random USamerican stuff gets applied to non-u.s. non-english stuff and Especially

[dear-usamericans]

Dear USAmericans (of Latine &/or Filipino descent/diaspora), we native Latines & Filipinos don't like the terms Latinx & Filipinx & wish you stop forcing it on us coz 1) Latine is much better & easier to pronounce 2) the Filipino language is already gender neutral 3) it shows you know nothing about the Spanish & Filipino languages 4) it's basically linguistic imperialism, forcing USA centric views & is rude 5) our LGBT folks hate it, too

#dear usamericans #from: latines #from: filipinos #us centrism #linguistic imperialism #doesn't spanish have a super complicated relationship with the letter x and its pronunciation and use too #especially between mexico and spain? #also i Hate when random USamerican stuff gets applied to non-u.s. non-english stuff and Especially #in the use of the letter x to be more gender neutral #it almost never makes sense and many languages have trouble with the letter x and how it's supposed to be applied #and in the end it creates more complications than it solves and most native speakers of those other languages hate it anyways #can we just agree to use our own languages for our own things and let other languages do their things instead of trying to govern what #they do? #cause this is ridiculous #anyways sorry for the tag rant
