#1 Isn't the Latin in latino a hat tip to the conquista?

#2 using Latinx is a violation of the political Hippocratic Oath

No more obligation to be such stupid assholes.

As poor indebted Beethoven said in his best Latin when his grasping landlady died, Obit anus? Abit onus!

#3  "Why are we using a word that is preferred by only 2 percent, but offends as many as 40 percent of those voters we want to win?"

When you rig elections, why bother?

#4 Spanish is a language with lots of male and female words. If they had accepted latinx there would have been no end to the modifications.

#6 Hispanic has always been a geographic reference to "Hispaniola", making it distinct from Latin America. LatinX is the Dems attempt to blur/destroy those lines.

#7 Baseball creeps are up on Dominican vs Cuban vs Central American. Everybody else not so much.

#13 It's been a long day, Frank. I'm not looking for a medal. Just noticed I have been at it for a while today. Had an Atlas launch this morning and I haven't walked it off yet. That's all. No big deal.

#14 The numbskulls on the left are trying to peddle a gender neutral version of Latino and Latina

#15 France and Spain have Official National Academies that decide if a word is "proper" French/Spanish. The only question is whether they laugh first before they sneer and say "No!".

#16 Ima bet shtetl, kettle, and MM's medal that Rex intended "Hispania."

In an Empire where "migrant" barbarx
Have all -- even Gaul! -- in hysterics,
One bird of ill omen
Drops turds on the roamin'.
Ironic, eh? Ave Asterix!
