- Опубліковано 9 кві 2017
- Fernanda provides a first person account of identity--addressing stereotypes and assumptions, and inviting the audience to dig deeper into the Latinx experience in the United States. Fernanda addresses the role of Latinx people in shaping the culture, politics, and economy of the USA.
Fernanda was born and raised in Chicago, IL by Mexican immigrant parents, and grew up constantly surrounded by the large and diverse Hispanic and Latino community. Fernanda proudly identifies as a part of this community as a Latina, Hispanic, and Mexican American.

if somebody ever called me "latinx" I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear them
Same here
same mate 😔👊 also "latino" is gramatically correct and already includes both genders
If someone calls me latinx i'm swinging!
No no sir, I'm not a lynx I assure you I'm human.
It’s a great way to Anglicize our language.
I told my dad about this (we are all from Guanajuato living in California) and all he said was “que pendejada”.

The only "Mexican tradition" about "cinco de Mayo" is to ignore it and go through the day as any other day.
César Hernández-Meraz. That is regarded as a "Pocho Holiday" in Mexico!
Exactly.
Cinco de mayo was when Mexico won against France but nothing really happens to celebrate it so yeah carry on with your day is basically tradition
César Hernández-Meraz
we beated the french.......
Cinco de mayo is celebrated in southern states in 🇲🇽 mexico known as the batalla de Puebla. It’s not really popular in the northern states of Mexico. In the United States is celebrated by the Mexican American community because it was adopted as the el día de la raza. And of course like any other holiday in the United States is another day to make money 💰 so a lot of Anglo’s and none Mexicans get in the mix.
LatinX just infuriates me. The only people that used them are non hispanics and some latinos that don’t know spanish. It’s annoying how they just ignore all of the language and just change a word.
We have to do just what blacks did with the n&&&r word, told whites you are not allowed to ever say it although in our case if we are offended by it we should not allowed what will be a minority and we the majority use as well as us.
@@enriquemino9963 Pretty sure they found it offensive to be called colored

First of all, only 3% of latinos use latinx. An incredibly small amount. You're making generalizations
No le saben a la vida
Latinx to me is like spitting on a language that already includes everyone Latino just means Latin person no gender needed. To me it says that she doesn't think our language is good enough for her. I honestly hate that word and no Latino isn't masculine the "o" in Spanish is universal. Stop trying to make Latinx happen it's not going to happen!
She was just saying that so that way people wouldn’t be mad at her for not being “respectful “ towards gender equality
samantha Rodriguez pues que no vaya y hable si no va a respetar la gramática castellana
oh but it is
First of all it ain’t even our language. Spanish is a white language. The language of enslavement
@@amysifuentes55 Every language is a language of enslavement because every race has enslaved and been enslaved, so shut your uneducated mouth
The funny part about "Latinx" is that it's still a European term, just with the ridiculous X added to it.
Real Latinos are Europeans from Italy.
Spaniards are hispanics
Oh and Latin was the language spoke in Rome and the family of language that Spanish comes from
@Roma Rose We speak a latin language though.
@Roma Rose Italian amd spanish are very similar.
Who the heck voted to refer to me as “LatinX”
abuncha racists did.
American born millennials that don't speak Spanish or Portuguese as a first language. That's who.
I'm Latino. I'm Generation X. Is this what they're going for?
Have you ever heard of inclusive language? 😳
@@pizzaconpina9049 Ever heard of Linguistic Imperialism?
La palabra "latinx" fue hecha en los EEUU y no es usada fuera de los EEUU. No vamos a cambiar nuestro idioma porque los gringos nos dicen que no es "inclusivo" (que racista, no?) ni vamos a identificarnos con su palabra en vez de la nuestra.
I’m not Latinx, I’m LATINA!!!
Karen Villanueva ok she didn’t say you have to identify as Latinx it’s just gender neutral to those who identify as non binary
lo_siento_luis “Latinos” is gender neutral. It’s used to describe everyone from male or female, whites, blacks, natives, and even Asians across Latin America
@5 yeah those people dont go by he/him or she/her by the day. they usually just go by they/them
@@loo6357 latino is neutral gender, if you like it or not
@@AdrianCasG i don’t know if you know this but in spanish “O” refers to male things and “A” to female things

Lol
WTF is latinx, you’ll never going to call me like that.
Latinx
latinx (latinA or latinO)
Latinx is a term that includes the lgbtq+ community especially but also men and women
In Catholicism “x” is used for female identity. Mary for instance is understood as “mediatrix” because she is female and the mother of Christ, whom is the Mediator. Latinx does the same because the speaker is female. This does not have association with the LGBT+ community.
@@gaby1717 what even??? We already have "Latinos" for that. The LatinX bs is Unessecary.
There is already a gender neutral term for Latin people. It's called LATIN. Also to pronounce LatinX in Spanish sounds horrible.
Jorge Pacheco no one says that though
Horge, Latin is defaulted to masculine. Let latinx describe themselves .
Latin people = White people
Latino people = Mixed races people
These are the Latin People: Italians, French, Romanians. Portuguese and Spaniards. And Latin is not a Race and not an Ethnicity and not a Skin Color.
Or, you could just say you're Hispanic. No gender included there.
If you're reading this and stand by the word "LatinX"
I'm going to respectfully ask you to leave my language and culture alone
Amen.

Take notes Woke people and SJWs
I came with parents from Mexico. I grew up in an immigrant/ethnic community. I grew up in two cultures, the Mexican one at home, the U.S. one at school. It was hard to go "outside" of the bubble of our barrio. In the barrio you survived with your language, food, customs. However outside is a different world, one where you either adapt or you fall on your face. Difficult but possible to try to make something of yourself in the U.S. it is going to cost you a lot of hard work more so than your average peer. Some will make it, others will not but the "opportunities" are present. You have to go after them, they don't come looking for you.
I never met a Mexican American in my life that did not share a familiar back story like yours. So I guess they are cookie cutter people.
@egg sand thank you for sharing this, it puts things in perspective
So learn English. It's not that hard.
And the US isn't Mexico. Get out of your 'barrio'.
@@techtutorvideos What culture ? They're uneducated and broke, doing beast of burden labor

Ok ok, we're latinos, I get it. Let's go to school, get educated preferably with a non liberal arts education and advance as a people. Our parents didn't immigrate to this country so that we can remain in poverty.

Aesthetic Vibez it’s more for those who are latino and non-binary, meaning they don’t identify with either gender
Lorena Gutierrez yes I see what ur saying but how would one speak the language. Would you just put x at the end of everytime. I’m generally asking
Spanish was literally made by white people omghfie lmfao

My teacher made me watch this. Forgot TedTalks went downhill after the early 2010's
well, there are still some really good talks, definitely some really bad ones and of course... this one
Tell the teacher real latinos will never adopt a US narrative of identification based on feminism. Our entire language is masculine or feminine and we love who we are.
This is on par with getting a vegetarian priest as a teacher

I am a Mexican immigrant, I am come from México, as well as my entire family, and I sort of feel like an outsider when I'm with 1st generation Mexican-Americans because they can speak fluent English, while I still struggle with pronunciation and writing, but I also help them with Spanish because I went to school in México. One of the challenges for me is mainly stereotypes and my struggle to speak English and understand American culture which is baffling to me. I wish to change the way Americans and the world look at Mexicans and and other hispanics (I guess also latinos). Por favor dime halgo que puedo hacer para ayudarme con mi ingles. Muchas gracias mis amigos. Viva México 🇲🇽. Nunca tengan pena de dicer que son mexicanos o hispanos, sean felices y que tengan un buen día
Para mejorar la escritura sirve leer bastante en inglés y para mejorar la pronunciación sirve escuchar muchos videos y practicar, así sea hablando contigo mismo (como pensando en voz alta jejeje) también ver videos donde explican cómo pronunciar, te explican cómo mover la boca, éxitos con eso
Mirate unos videos de minecraft en ingles xdddd
Yeah, there are so many different and unique subcultures, languages, sports, hobbies, social networks / media outlets, and political circuses that the shock to your system must feel ridiculous. Some day the organized mass chaos will make sense and then the only thing that can surprise you is when something strange does not happen. I would appreciate to hear your opinion on Joe Rogan's podcast interviews with Ed Calderon. I have made friends with several first and second generation americans from Mexico. Through the years they have been the most willing to stay in contact especially since the pandemic. I think we both want to avoid stereotypes and give each other a better understanding of our own country. It is difficult, but not impossible.
Me acuerdo cuando mis papas brought mi desde Mexico at 3 years old. Me acuerdo de que rapido aprendi el engles , pero mis papas se tardaron mucho mas tiempo para entender todo. Igualmento mi espanol no suena fluente cuando voy a mexico a comparasion de aqui. Cresiendo, le desia a mis papas que algunos dias hablamos solo engles para que practicaran en el momento sin spanglish. Les ayudo mucho a los dos porque ahora despues hace untiempo lo aprendieron. Tambien ay los que nunca quieren aprender como mi tio que tieno casi 30 anos aqui y le vale madre el guey
Porque no te quedaste en mexico di tanto amas a tu pais?
Such a great talk. She explained the culture of hispanic and Latinos. Thank you very much for the lesson.
*hispanix and Latinx's
This young lady does not know who she is. Hispanics are Portuguese, Spanish people and part of the Latin group of europe. This reflects are poor educational system. Confucious said: We must use terms by their proper definitions, in order to maintain a well organised society. This clearly explains the problem. For further information on this problem contact the Mexica organisation.
Mestizo, I identify as Mestizo. Not Latinx.

So you’re happy that Christopher Columbus slammers your abuela’s panocha without her consent?
@Gen3ralGrimReaper He identifies as Mestizo, a mix of Spanish and Native and he has every right to identify as that especially if a person is of that mix so what. Just because you're African American who rejects his white ancestry you have your right to do so, so what. But please stop imposing your backwards ideology on everyone else.

@@Ahmed-ob6ec also you are talking about native/indigenous population. Many of them still have there own language that are sadly dying out. I’m not native though my blood line are primarily Spanish French and Native with Spanish and Native being the majority. This is wall we Mexican call “mestizo”.
mes·ti·zo
noun

@@esalinasml Latino and Hispanic are terms created a few decades ago by the US to lump all Spanish speakers together for marketing purposes regardless of ethnic background, they do not represent an actual identity and are completely meaningless terms with no real definition. Lots of people claiming to be Latinos are full blown native Americans whose great grandparents spoke a native language rather than Spanish. With this logic, if I took some online Spanish courses and learned how to speak Spanish, I would also be able to claim that I'm Latino which makes no sense.

Thousands of years of advancements, our ancestors nurtured corazones verdaderos. They also performed brain surgery. Before mexico was mexico and america was america, it was New Spain, before that Anahuac for thousand of years B.C. One of the six oldest ancient civilizations , our history was destroyed and rewritten. Tengo mexico en mi corazon, pues nacie aqui.

@@renatomacchi2195 wtf is a latino? are we roman or something.
@@frankaraujo5094 Latino/Latin refers to the Latin language spoken by the Romans. It also refers to the languages derived from the Latin ( Italian, French, Romanian, Portuguese and Spanish). Latino also refresh to the Latin culture of the Romans which they spread around during their colonization. Latino is not the same as Latin American. Latino/Latin it's only about languages and Latin American it's about where one comes from. It refers to a geographical location. That area of the Americas was called Latin America by the Latin European Colonizers, French, Portuguese and Spaniards, and the reason was because their languages derived from the Latin language. ( Romance languages).
One more thing. It's about where the Hispanic label comes from. It comes from the Romans. They called that area which comprised of what is now Portugal and Spain then under their administration "Hispania", hence the name Hispanic or Hispano/a. Everything Latin be it the Latin people, the Latin Language and the Latin culture all comes from Italy, Roman Italy/Italia. Lastly Latino and Latin are the same words only that in the English language it's Latin but in Italian, Romanian, Portuguese and Spanish it's Latino/Latina. People coming or originating from Latin America are Latin Americans. The can also say Mexican, Cuban etc, etc but Latino it's only when one wants to state his or her culture. Latino it's not a race, not s Blood, not a Skin color and it's an Ethnicity for Spanish speaking people as the US Census Bureau says about it's classification of people.
They were Latin Americans. Latino means something else. Please read other messages and learn.

He was a proud American resident but when I was 16 he and I became American citizens. He did this so when I turned 18, I would be able to proudly serve our American country.

No one should be discriminated against because they look different or speak a different language. I know what it is like to be discriminated against and be yelled at just because something about you is different or odd to some people.
Also, why do people keep using Latinx? I’m not a full Latina and even I don’t like the word. Latino works just fine. I’ve noticed this discrimination going both ways, Caucasians (Yes, that really is the correct ethnic term.) discriminate against and exclude the Latinos and vice versa.

yes, Latinx is a racial slur invented by white female liberals for control. Only a sellout Latino would sue it.

Thank you, the Irish are great as well
As a 3rd gen American, a lot of us don't relate with 1st gen, so we call ourselves Chicanos, because we don't fit in with Anglo Americans either. But then Chicanos have embraced a sort of gang culture, living in barrios, listening to oldies, etc. Yet, many have educated ourselves, moved out of barrios, improved quality of life for their families. Even left Catholic traditions for a more theological understanding of their faith.

I really was informed about how to distinguish the difference between Hispanics and Latino. Good job, & thank you for informing me
I remember going to visit my Aunt in a nursing home. I lived in a city that had always been at least 50% Hispanic. I was shocked to only see one Hispanic person in the entire place. I saw at least 100 people there but only one was Hispanic. I have always had a tremendous amount of respect for their family first values but that took my respect to a new level. Hopefully that value rubs off on the rest of us

@@giovannicozentura8075 yeah but checking hispanics as your race is still checking a box.Also on spanish channels people of color are underrespresented, becuase Like I mention we arent a race.
@@giovannicozentura8075 I get what you mean though some italians and spaniards dont consider themselves white .
A Latina can refer to herself as a Latina.
A Latino as a Latino.
But when both are referred to, they are Latinos because the word Latino, becomes gender-neutral within that context.
The same rule applies to Romanian, Italian French, Catalan, and Portuguese.
Yet none of these has been targeted with that X idiocy,.
My friend was born in florida and her mom was born there to but their mom was born and raised in Mexico and everyone before them what would that make her Bc she is starting to say that she is white
Great job.
Why do some people deny who they are they are beautiful wonderful people.what happened to being proud of yourself.
maybe what you are referring to is people refusing to be placed under a category to which they do not belong.
Y’all are being ridiculous, and missing the message
juaquces girblais no we get it clear
I an Puerto Rican and I an so proud to be a unite states Hispanic I Love everybody no matter what where they come from God bless us
I’m not “hispanic”, it’s like if Mexico census labels all USA citizens as “Britanics” just because their culture is related to england and they speak English.
how about Americans. We are Americans, a mix race of european, native american and african.
pal629 not all of us are African, a lot of us aren’t
@@gi4nni_goodlife794 everyone has uh little
Thank you!
I’m not even Latina, but Latinx just sounds weird
they should at least use the word Latine for non-binary Latinos.
As an Americano myself,born and raised by fluent English speaking Parents and born here in America, I am appauled at the way my Latin Gente are being treated! They are my Heavenly Familia! I'm bilingüe ahora porque los meyor al ra ajuntó que te ro dividad. ps, estoy muy alegré y orgullo al ro llamado un Latino o Ameritino que es American Latino! We were a United Human Race up in the Celestiales before our physical birth on Earth, and Latin Hebrew was the first Idioma created on Earth before the Biblical Flood at the Tower OF Babylon to confuse the Latin Language, Not the so called races we know today!
Why do you say Hispanic doesn't include Cuba, Puerto Rico or native Spanish speakers from the USA? It seems to me this may be a US usage of that word. At least here in Spain "hispano" just means Spanish native speaker, no matter from.

I’m hispanic, and I disagree with most of the content included in this video.
Ok
I laughed when she said they only make up 18% of the population. Even small towns that border Canada have higher than 18% demographics. The real number as of today is 42%. While every attempt to get an accurate census if met with lawsuits by Dems to keep the secret that Caucasians in the U.S. are the real minority today, large marketing companies know precisely how many are here.
Same. Typical victim left tool.
W Reynoso, same here, except one of my grandparents was from Spain. I always have one word for people like this woman: asimilad.
@@staarrliner4993 so u have some mediterranean blood then :)
you described a lot of my family history....
She criticizes the President for not knowing the difference between Hispanic and Latino, but then admits she didn't either, until she started preparing for this talk.
Latinx is like LineX or GasX or Dr. X. Adding an X at the and of an existing word doesn't legitimize the word like minx, linx or sphinx, because those words already had the x in them when they were created. Latinx is a joke. Hundreds of comments from Spanish speaking people saying the same should be your first clue to fabricate a different buzzword and try to pass it off as heroic.
What on earth is Latinx???
Daniel fmatosrivera latino= mal
Latina=female
Latinx = all genders
@@yssalenoir8972 Latino is referring to all genders though.
@@yssalenoir8972 Latinos already refers to all genders. The LatinX bs is unnecessary.
I think it’s supposed to be Latino X-man
Latinos are a very resilient heritage. They will always remain a sustainable source in the global community. A very misunderstood and honorable power.
thanks for saying latino and not latinx.
What is the female version of the word “American” in English?
there is no female version
Hi, i am Daniel. A latino from a real latin american country.
Lo pongo en ingles por que no creo que los jovenes de USA sepan español Xingao y si quieren leer el resto pues que traduzcan o que les valgan de algo las clases de español.
En fin, el termino latinx solo tiene sentido en USA y pues en el resto... No somos minoria en nuestro pais y no nesecitamos quedar bien con el extranjero
La chica no sabe ni dónde queda Lacio y se dice latina 😄
Pena ajena.
