You can probably let them speak for themselves.

I’m Latino and strongly disagree with this. Many I know support Trump and actually are rather conservative.

As a Latino I can say that you should not speak for me or others. I in no way feel “hunted” and neither do any of my friends or relatives. Please do not politicize my race.

For context, this is the report she’s talking about: https://www.projectveritas.com/2019/06/24/insider-blows-whis...

There's no mention of what I think is by far the biggest negative influence on trust: the media. Trust in media is at an all time low: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com

This would be after I told them I was Mexican. Some people struggle to say it.

I think more specific is always better. I’m of Mexican descent, I prefer to keep that identity. I’ve actually noticed people in the US sometimes struggle to say that as if being “M…

I agree. I’m talking about applying the term to people who don’t identify as non-binary. They are the people I know (myself included) who don’t like the term. I could see how it wo…

Yes, that’s why they consider it racist. For the most part it’s a term from white academia. I don’t think anyone really wants to be told that the words they’ve used to describe the…

My Mexican family loves Flamin’ Hot Cheetos (for real) and hates the term “latinx”. Just fyi but it’s considered racist in a lot of Mexican communities.

Ah, the classic “think of the children!” argument. It is no one’s responsibility other than the parent to ensure their child isn’t watching inappropriate content (which will be dif…

I think this piece is about making people aware of privacy and pointing out that the platform you’re reading it on is one of the worst offenders is worth doing. As another commente…

The New York Times is as bad at privacy as anyone. Here is their policy: https://help.nytimes.com/hc/en-us/articles/115014892108-Priv... They make extremely illegitimate claims abo…

I admit I’m using height as a shorthand here. I’ll put it more simply: Do you think anyone can become a professional athlete with the right training? I don’t. I think it’s a field …

> Sure, you're not wrong, but you've just stated an individual trait, not a population one. No, I’ve stated a population trait. The population of professional athletes. Not all tal…

That’s not true. Arguably all professional athletics require a very large genetic component. Good luck in the NBA if you’re 5’1” tall. I think the ability to accurately identify to…

Latinx, Latin@, Latinex :( I just posted about this in another thread and don't feel like reliving it (it's seriously depressing): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19464652 Can…

Without doxing myself... It’s not apparently obvious what ethnicity I am based on looks. I had already been told there was a focus on diversity at the company I ended up getting an…

I recently completed a very difficult job search where I unfortunately had to lean on my ethnicity (I’m Mexican) to pass through very overt screening against white men. I was shock…

I’m Mexican and can confirm meat isn’t going anywhere. I can’t even imagine Mexico City without it. Not only does everyone eat meat but most people make a living selling it. There …

My issue is with the made up term "Latinx" vs the correct Latino.

I'm Hispanic and have resigned myself to this as well. While I may benefit from getting a job, I'm still subjected to what I would consider racism which I have to publicly turn a b…
