So says Arlene Dávila, writing in an op-ed in El Nuevo Día.

Apparently Arlene doesn't realize the irony of this statement, given that the term "Latinx" is ITSELF "taken from the playbook of white imagination" (specifically the English-speaking media's attempt to force "gender neutral language" on the term latino/latina), and it certainly didn't originate in Latin American culture.

People like her are completely oblivious to their own nonsense. I fear there is no way to get through to them.

Latinos/Hispanics just want floods of their illegal immigrants pouring into this country so they can breed like flies and become the nation's racial majority.
