So this is obviously a shitpost but just to clarify Latinx doesn't refer to Spanish people, right? Like Spaniards can't claim they're Latinx because they're not from Latin America, right?!
yeah that's kinda what I meant. Also, if the "racism" a family friend told me about a decade ago, is anything to go by, Spaniards don't think kindly of Latino Americans.
it's a grey area as someone racist against latinx people isn't going to bother differentiating the Spanish from them. Similar to how people aren't going to be just racist to Chinese people and will just say they are while being racist to asians in general
They are mixing up "latin" (as in latinamerican) with "hispanic".
I guess it's correct to say spanish speaking latinamericans are hispanic. But people born in Spain aren't latin, unless of course that's their family culture.

Yes, Most Spaniards wouldn't consider themselves Latinx or Latino for that matter.
Because they aren't, unless their family are latinamericans.

Where do you think the term "sudaca" comes from
I’m not familiar with the Spanish Racism factory. Deeply familiar of the American brand tho.
Tho it was immediately adopted by the targeted group so it's not like a strong slur.
Also, it allows the existence of the term "sudakkka" which is a good generalization for words like "whitexicans".
Yes, I just made it up.
That's a 10-4 good buddy
:fidel-salute:
Technically it does, in the same way that people from North Africa and the middle East are also "white" according to the US government.
TIL

I see someone hasn't seen how weird fascist weaboos can get
The spanish would tell you themselves they are europeans.
Latin Americans are Spaniards mixed with indigenous peoples. Meet real Spaniards and they're barely alike.
Except for that horrible lisp when speaking Spanish. Good lord, my ears.
