Latino, Latina, Latinx: Hispanics ready to kick a word into the woke trash bin

It isn't about the minorities the left claims they want to help; it's about the left feeling good about themselves in spite of how minorities [aka the victim class according to the left] feel about the "help" they didn't ask for and generally don't need. 

Native Americans [not including Elizabeth Warren] never voiced a negative reaction to sports teams that with names that referred to them such as the Washington Redskins or the Cleveland Indians, for example. It only became an issue when woke White leftists brought it up as if it was a racist term, and then some Native Americans suddenly saw it as such, because 25 percent of any group of people are boobs with no exceptions. 

For the left, racism is their Swiss Army knife, Kurt Schlichter and others have said.

Rather than going against the woke flow, the Washington Redskins eventually became the Washington Football Team [what creativity] and the Cleveland Indians became the Cleveland Guardians. As a basehall team, one has to wonder just what it is they are guarding--their balls? Their bats?

So while some groups caved to the demands of white woke supremacists who got their demands fulfilled, several Latino organizations are now demanding to effectively cancel the use of the bull crap term "Latinx" in official documents etc., because it isn't a word as far as the people it pretends to refer to see it.

Virtually no one in the Latino community cares a fig for the pretentious 'gender-neutral' term. Spanish, like many other languages, use gender-specific terms and it's insulting for elite progressives to change it and elected officials, and the oldest Latino civil rights organizations in America, and the Miami Herald has spoken out against the term to describe people of Spanish-speaking origin.

The results of their anger is being seen in the way Latino voters have moved away from the Democratic Party, which is a deep matter of concern as their voting block grows much larger. It shows how Latinos want to self-define rather than have outsiders define them. 

Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus’ campaign arm, announced last month his congressional staff is not to use “Latinx” in official communications.

Days after Gallego’s tweet, Domingo García, president of the League of United Latin American Citizens, instructed staff and board members to drop the word “Latinx” from the group’s official communications, NBC Latino’s Suzanne Gamboa reported.

The Miami Herald, a left-leaning tabloid, wrote in an editorial last month that liberals needed to stop using the term primarily because it wasn’t popular with Latinos, but more importantly, that it helped the GOP make inroads with the Latino community, especially in Florida, a critical battleground state.

The Latino community is finally beginning to see that Democrats would rather be "woke" than be concerned about them.
