“Latinx is used only by the people educated at America’s most elite schools”

The phrase is extremely cringe. I've read polls where actual latin/hispanic persons stated they hated the term.

The phrase 'latin' is already "ungendered".

Also in Spanish most words are gendered, I believe "cat" is "gato" or "gata". Should that be "gatx" too?

> He rattles off a list of things that he claims Asian Americans are doing to assimilate: having stable families, not having kids out of wedlock, attaining education, not committing crime, etc.

Aren't those all habits most Asians brought with them? I.e. they're not changing their behavior to better fit in, they're doing the same things they'd be doing in their home countries.

"Chinese" doesn't really invoke the incredible ethnic diversity of China (Han, Uighurs, Tibetans, Mongols, Manchu, etc.) so I use the term "Chinx" instead.

As a Hispanic I think this is ridículo.

This did have a bit of uptake in Brazil (non-hispanic latinos), but has died out AFAIK. From everywhere else, it's just been ignored.

Don't push solutions from the outside. It's the "we're here to save you from yourselves" problem all over again. Instead, ask latin people what they want.

If you ask me, I want latin. Not latino, not latina.

> While working-class immigrant Asian parents are forcing their kids to take test prep and piano lessons thinking that it’ll help their kids get into a better college, the wealthy Asian elite have already cracked the code. Elites like Ahmed know that signaling that one has the “correct” beliefs is what is needed to gain entry to America’s most prestigious colleges.

Groupthink, herd mentality, conformity > Meritocracy

This should be a fun couple of years, sigh!

Pretty thin on evidence for the assertions being made.

Well that's not true but thanks for the laugh
