Nah, Latino is a word that springs from spanish. It isn’t actually an English word, it just got borrowed.
So, not only was the word co-opted from Latino people, the crazy crackers decided that they could ignore the objections of Latinos to the change to their words. That’s as opposed to the not-crazy crackers that know better than to fuck around with someone else’s internal labels
Seriously my dude, if you don’t know any latinos well enough to ask about this kind of thing, you’re missing out. My best friend’s husband is Nicaraguan, and he’ll do this half hour long rant in spanglish about it that is impressive in both scope and venom. And you don’t even wanna hear his mom go off about it! She gets mean lol.

“Their” words? The term originated from LGBT AMERICAN Latinos. It’s an English term because it originated in American by Americans Latino heritage. You need to stop gatekeeping basic words.

Ask about what kind of thing? If they don’t like it that’s totally fine. I really don’t care one way or the other. It has 0 impact on me. But to say the word itself is racist and co-opted is also just stupid
