  1. Yeah, putting an "X" at the end is basically an attempt to Anglofy it (ie white-wash). Even a Gringo like me isn't stupid enough to make that faux pas.

  2.  @dabombdawg3033  Wow, much anger over something you pretend to be knowledgeable but have only a Dilettante's level of understanding. For one, High Latin is still used in Catholic services, though it isn't conversational Latin. "Vulgar" Latin is still in use today as Romance Languages such as Italian, Spanish, and French. And look up the process of Anglicizing word. Placing an "X" on the end to denote feminine is a textbook example of such white washing.

  3.  @enelhorno2024  Yeah, that is where Jeremy is being dishonest. Ethnic Chinese are NOT Muslim despite Islam being brought to that part of the world by Chinese merchants. Whether in Maylasia or Indonesia, there is MUCH strife between the Chinese and the Muslim populations.

  4. Yeah, Israel caught most of the Kapos and put them on trial for their collaboration. But as pointed out, "Spooky Dude" managed to get away.

  5. Being a Tejano doesn't make you any less of an American. The Latinos who sided with Sam Houston against Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna were true sons and daughters of the Lone Star Rebellion. And those Tejanos captured at the Alamo were brutalized FAR worse than the Gringos.

  6. Because the hate and detest the source material. This is intentional vandalism on their part.

  7. The think is most of the "anti-war" movies of the 1950s were NUANCED. Meaning that they were against unprovoked war, but that there was a time when you DID have to fight. The message was basically a more tactful version of General William Tecumseh Sherman's "War is Hell" quote.

  8.  @martindeleon9863  I was trying to point out that you have a proud heritage that is American, Mexican and specifically Texas unique. The ethnic Mexicans who fought alongside the Gringos during the Texas Revolution were true American Patriots. And as I said, it doesn't make you any less American being a Tejano.

  9.  @mnimbus05  And that is why I am for Ip going into public domain no later than 20 years after the death of the original creator. Children often squander their inheritance. And grandchildren are notorious for destroying the legacy of their forebearers (wealth only lasting three generations).

  10. Indeed. Chinese merchants may have brought Islam to Southeast Asia, but the resident Chinese diasporas are NOT Muslim.

  11.  @jagdson2701  Indeed. My ancestor Malcolm McCallum was an Irish Redhead who fought with the Scots at the battle of Dunbar. He was one of the lucky 100 sent to Massachusetts. Those sent to Virginia or Barbados didn't survive their forced servitude.

  12. I agree. It is a complete waste of a good piece of art by trying to hamfist it as a known white character.

  13. As it should. Even a "Anglish" Grino like myself knows that putting an "X" on the end is white washing and absolutely insulting. Hence why this stupido Grino doesn't do it: I have too much respect for both cultures to attempt do that.

  14.  @Flynn_Stones  Twitter is just as flighty as the bird it emulates.

  15. As an "Anglish" Gringo, even I am disgusted at this attempt at Anglicization.

  16. It should be but if you use those criteria to purposely select a "protected class" for employment over more qualified candidates, they turn a blind eye to the blatant violation of those statutes.

  17.  @darkbroth3rh00d4  Fair point. I am glad you are aware of that. I wish more people also knew what you and I know.

  18.  @dabombdawg3033  English is NOT and never has been a derivative of Latin. It is of GERMANIC origin, more in common with Dutch or Scandinavian languages. American English may borrow heavily from the Latin languages, but it is still at its core a Germanic Language that follows Germanic linguistic rules. As for why Central and South America is called the "Latin world" goes back to the fact that Spanish is of Latin origin and historically peoples were grouped by Linguistics rather than genetics. That is why the Asiatic phenotype Central Asians are referred to as "Turks" rather than "Mongolic" despite having more genetically in common with East Asia than they do with the Arabic World.

  19.  @dabombdawg3033  Latin influences does not mean that it is a Latin Language. And I think you are conflating the written language with the spoken one. Nuances and distinctions you are choosing to gloss over in your vain attempt to clout chase.

  20. Truns out that some folks don't like having their language Anglicized. I don't blame them, and I am a Gringo of "Anglish" heritage.

  21. He sees it for what it is: Anglicization (ie white washing).

  22.  @jesselubberts1013  Indeed. The original 1948 resolution called for BOTH states to exist side by side, yet the Western advocates for Palestine blatantly ignore that part.

  26. Because these idiots don't realize that putting an "X" on the end is Anglicization or white-washing of the culture. They lack any understanding of history or linguistics.

  27. Remind people that by putting an "X" on the end, they are basically Anglofying it. In essence, the wokistas are white-washing Latin culture when they use that epitaph.

  28. White savior indeed. Some people don't want their words Anglicized (ie white washed).

  29. Because they don't know that putting an "X" on the end is how you Anglicize a word. They don't realize it is white-washing.

  32. More like Anglicization than demonization, but the point is still valid.

  35. The "X" comes from anglicization of words. They don't realize they are white washing.

  36. All the more reason why copyright protections are way too long. Ironically, Public domain is the ONLY way to protect them as when was the last time you saw Dr. Frankenstein (and his monster) or Dracula as an ethnic minority and not Eastern European?

  37. Making Aragon black is simply modern-day blackface. It is the same racist caricature of the past, but with a new spin.

  38. Anglicization, and they don't realize it. Or they do and they don't care.

  40.  @bmacaulay18  The irony is that T.E. Lawrence had the best solution, but the Brits refused to listen to him. Take a look at his map which was released around 2004. It would have divided the region along historical tribal boundaries which had more or less stabilized by then.

  41.  @bmacaulay18  Agreed. That is why the globalists who look down their nose at nationalism will always repeat the same blunders. Ironically, they promote that very ethno-nationalism when the push grievance culture with the Marxist "oppressor-oppressed" argument.

  42. They don't realize that they are engaging in Anglicization.

  43. Funny how they don't want to acknowledge that French, Italian and a few other Romance languages are also derived from "Vulgar" Latin.

  44. It is an attempt at Anglicization (ie white washing). I'm not surprised that it is not well recieved.

  45. Slow down there, Amigor. Latino culture is the result of Spanish colonization of the new World. That being said, using the "X" IS Anglicization of the culture which you are absolutely correct that it is an "gentrification" of the culture. In effect, they are "white-washing" it.

  46. More like it is Anglicizing (ie white washing), but the point about it being cultural appropriation is still valid.
