If you're an ethnic minority Conservative, you just can't win. The idea that you are not “really” black if you have certain views, and that departing from those views makes you a ‘traitor’, is straight up racism that harks back to the Victorian era.

Joe: You ain't black!

You: What am I then?

Joe: I dont know but you're just as smart as white kids, unlike the latino community, which is incredibly diverse.

According to “Latinx” fools, Latinos are an oppressed minority, unless they are “white” or “white-passing.” Example: an Argentinian can’t face oppression because they’re “white,” but has a thick Spanish accent and can barely speak English in the US, versus an indigenous Mexican. I’m Latina. I know we are diverse people. For “Latinx” people, you’re not Latino unless you fit their agenda.

I grew up around a ton of hispanic people. Mostly puerto rican, but plenty of dominican and mexican as well. I can't imagine any of them being into this latinx shit. It came out of nowhere from a bunch of white college chicks. Every hispanic person I knew before was extremely proud of their specific heritage. The last thing I can imaging them being into is throwing that out to call themselves "latinx".

I'm more than a little disturbed that they think that they are far enough down that road that it is ok to start eating their own.

You realise they are in charge now, right.

I'm not even talking about the government, I mean if they want you to lose your job, home, friends then that will happen.

They aren't going down the road, they already arrived at their destination and are just unpacking.

You can't use the left's identity politics against the left

Literally duh. Nobody cares.

What would we do without all of our Black and Hispanic conservatives??

I’m not conservative by any stretch, but I am a center-left Latina. Even saying that causes contention among the “Latinx” crowd. Many Latinos don’t support the term “Latinx” and it irritates me when hearing it. The term only serves to make non-Latinos feel a useless solidarity among us.

Well I don't know what that has to do with my comment, but thanks for sharing. Latinx is a very dumb term, I agree
