Stop referring to us as LATINX! We don't appreciate that term. Thank you.

What is it about this term that you find offensive? I thought it was an easier way to describe Latino/Latina men and women. Please tell us!

The vast majority of Latin Americans and Latino/Hispanic Americans do not self identify with that term. It doesn't translate well into Spanish or Portuguese. https://www.pewresearch.org/hispanic...just-3-use-it/

Compared to say "African-American" which was coined in the Black community and thus most Black Americans have little issue with that term.

Latinx is a racist term invented by snowflake liberals to make Latin Americans genderless and disregard their language, which is gender based. I've literally been told by Spanish speaking people not to call them that- they find it offensive.


I remember a day when we just interacted with people, not "I need to be around people of a certain race to feel comfortable...".


But hey I'm an old school New Yorker. "Hey man, who fixed your car?" "That Dominican guy up the street. Fixed it for 1/2 the price of the dealership".



"Yo, those Italian mother f-ers down on Broadway know how to make a good eggplant parmesan. Try this sh-t".



Life went on and no one dwelled on it.

Agree with this 100%. Spanish (like Italian) is a beautiful gender based language that is horribly disfigured by the radical snowflakes that want to strip everything of its natural identity. "Latinx" should be discarded on the ash heap of history.

And as an Italian-American, I have zero problem with hearing about "the old Italian guy over on McLean Avenue that makes amazing f-ing pizza."

Portchester definitely has a very prominent Latino demographic.

I would also say Brewster but that's more north and I'm not even sure if its apart of Westchester. Its about 10-15 minutes drive from Danbury, CT.

As a Latino, I endorse this message.

On the same token, I don't want to add to making this thread political.

With that being said, if the OP is looking for a LATINO community (in Westchester), they now know where to go.
