I dont think most rednecks even know Kopmala was biracial?
What races is she? Black and pig?

[RandomGuy]

Conservative pundit Mark Levin opened his BlazeTV show on Tuesday by making remarks about Harris’ heritage and rejecting claims she would be the nation’s first African American VP: “Her ancestry does not go back to American slavery,” he said.


Levin, alongside other conservative figures making similar claims, were blasted on Twitter by users asking, “Where do you think Black people in Jamaica come from?” One user asked, while another wrote: “Republicans are trying to pretend that Jamaica had no slaves just to pretend the first Black female VP nominee in US history isn’t really Black.”

She's half Indian half Jamaican, but you already knew that.

Obama's mom was white and his dad was from Kenya, so he couldn't trace his ancestry back to American slavery. Now all of the sudden they care about that.

But, according to the news website Jamaica Global Online, Donald Harris has “categorically” dissociated himself and his family from “this travesty” and slammed his daughter for stereotyping her heritage for political gain.

“My dear departed grandmothers, as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their grave right now to see their family’s name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not, with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics,” the website quoted the elder Harris as saying in a statement.

“Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty,” he said.

One year ago, Harris tweeted that she would "take executive action to:

"Revoke the licenses of gun manufacturers & dealers that break the law.
"Require anyone who sells more than 5 guns/yr to run a background check on all gun sales.
"Ban the importation of AR-15-style assault weapons."
On May 20 of this year, Harris said she would also ban states from enacting "stand your ground" laws, which permit armed homeowners to defend themselves against the threat of murder, rape, kidnapping or bodily harm rather than retreat.

I don't think it has to do with young or old. I think it has to do with being well spoken, and understanding that communication is a critical part of our society.

[Winehole23]

I'm not doctrinaire about this, I take it case by case, fwiw.

Also, modern English has been lacking the neuter gender -- Early Modern and Medieval English didn't. Some of the so-called novelties have historical pedigree.

(Obviously, some don't and are true novelties.)

Don't they want to do away with grammar too? Maybe we can just grunt - free for all - anything goes.

[ElNono]

For you perhaps, for others it might be otherwise.. Not respecting forms of address might be destructive for them, just as acknowleging those forms of address might be destructive for you.

Sure, it's my opinion, never stated otherwise. I'm just making my case. I understand if as a society we want to accommodate concepts such as gender-neutral, I frankly don't oppose that, as it doesn't generally affects me, and if it makes somebody feel good, what's the big deal.

However, when you start imposing, and it does affect me, and I feel it's not an improvement over what we had, then I speak out my mind. Deep down, I don't think it brings clarity or conciseness, but the other way around, and that's why I think it's destructive (in language/communication terms, not social terms).

After all, the vast majority of people do identify with a gender. To be clear, my problem isn't with the addition of a new word to describe these people, but the somewhat forced replacement of other perfectly valid words in order to accommodate them.

Lastly, I was speaking about Spanish. Latino means the same and is written the same, but it's a language with much more pronounced gender differentiation, and I feel in that case is really diluting the language.

Don't they want to do away with grammar too? Maybe we can just grunt - free for all - anything goes.

Latinx instead of Latino/Latina

To be fair, if we're talking about the US/English, "Latina" isn't a word. Latino, like Filipino, is supposed to be gender neutral. Both of those are English words and aren't supposed to follow Spanish conjugation rules. A lot of us with Spanish-language backgrounds conjugate both anyway, but that's not "proper" it's actually objectively wrong, because it implies we're using the Spanish homophones, but those are different words. It reminds me of talking to Latino posters and debate whether guys from Spain are Latino. They're not. The word in English specifically refers to the Americas because it's a loan abbreviation of latinoamericano. So yeah, it means different things in the two languages, and we shouldn't great the English word like it's the Spanish word. With all that said, I don't like latinx. That sounds dumb. Just say Latin. No one else is using that anymore.

As far as Spanish goes, Language may well evolve to a point where it does remove its gendered distinction. Language evolves based on use, and there isn't pragmatically any right answers. If people in the Spanish-speaking world start referring to themselves as Latinu (which would be way better in my opinion) and find a new set of articles, it's fine. It's going to be confusing and stupid, and it's not all going to happen at once. But eventually most of the world will get it. Or it'll fall out of favor and change back. Either way, it won't be a big deal.

Wow thats fucking gay

But again thats not down south HBO is a yanki company. Faggots

[daslicer]

The democrats need the black vote to win the presidency. They have never won the white majority vote since LBJ back in '64. Conservatives also know this and are attempting to divide the black community by saying Kamala is not a real black woman. Their hopes is that will cause a good enough of percentage blacks to stay at home and not vote in this election thus paving the way for Trump to win.

Latinx instead of Latino/Latina

Latinx isn't supposed to function in place of Latino/Latina. It only functions in place of a default use of Latino. You are seriously misunderstanding the purpose of the word.

Dumb americans supporting this nonsense will soon realize they will have to start ordering tacxs, fajitxs and coronxs and just then they will probably realize how fucking stupid and gay this is :lmao

David Robinson, in his penultimate career home game, once said to "throw the other team into a tailspin".

They tried, but, the [inferior] Nets got the upper hand, and, ultimately won the game.

I still get after S-Jax for not using the pump-fake (with ~4 seconds left) and allowing Kidd to fly by to yield the most open shot of his life instead of rushing the shot (which still came pretty darn close but was clearly affected by the Kidd contest at the last second).

we should all just speak armenian tbh, no gendered pronouns or grammar or anything like that. then you can limit your outrage to things like Kombat, Inglourious, and Basterds

What it really comes down to is name shaming people who use something incorrectly when they have no intentions of being confrontational or insensitive.
It gets extremely difficult to keep up with who makes the rules and what is proper. It used to take extensive history of abusive use of a word that did not used to be an abusive term. I dont know how much time, or how things go viral, but it gets difficult and frustrating.

I have a friend who grew up in the Hill Country and if you call his dad a Cedar Hacker, he will beat the shit out of you. So its also regional.

But then you guys have Darrin... Who seems to tease with stuff I dont keep up with.

i would agree that's problematic, i dont know how often that actually happens though

[Chinook]

I was speaking about spanish, tbh, but generally, I'm not opposed to the addition of words due to cultural changes. However, pressure to replace certain words because it's the cultural fad du jour is wrong, IMVHO.

First, I guess I was drunk when I typed that. Like point still remains, but that paragraph has way to many errors for it to be about me telling other people what's proper in English.

Second, it seems like the biggest issue with it is the cultural barrier I was talking about. It's basically just an English word that's starting to transition into US Spanish. You're not the only person who looks at it as an imposition of PC culture on people with completely different cultural identities. Why should an educated Yuppie group of folks tell the rest of the hemisphere what they should call themselves? I do think this highlights what I was saying. Latinx is, at its root, English. Its existence says nothing about how gendered language should work in Spanish. What English-speakers say isn't at the whim of what Spanish-speakers want any more than the reverse is. It's just American/estadounidense in another form. Keep Latinx to English and leave latino/a as it is in Spanish. Or don't. Shit. Sociolinguistics tracks really well with ecology. Survival of the fittest. The two words will coexist or one will win. Time will tell.

[pgardn]

I think there would be a number of people on this board we could name that say the attack on the innocent "name caller" happens all the time.
And that MM perpetuates this shaming.

I really dont know either.

That's how language evolves though. Words become prestige or non-prestige basically for no objective reason. After that, people are shamed into not using the non-prestige word or only using it certain contexts, and you get different language sub-cultures. Sometimes, the two groups never come together, and you get artifacts of certain variants in some populations (like aks and leapt). Sometimes the two words co-exists with similar but different means (cow and beef). Sometimes one just wins (you and thou). But behind all of them is a group of people shaming others for using the wrong variant until they change.

Yes I understand that.
But in its infancy, its not easy.
The transition is difficult quite obviously.
If I said "thats the bomb, da bomb", instead of "thats cool... People would get that I am falling behind the acceptable. And in this case I think "cool" will also be short lived now that this summer is "sucking" so badly in SA right now.

Totally agree in its infancy, as you stated above, it might make it evolutionarily or just die.

btw... I cant read Shakespeare very well. At all...

It's not just the TV show... we have public figures using that shit all over twitter...

The whole things comes up because gender is given by the context, and when the context applies similarly to male/female, then normally the male term is used (though not in all cases).

So now they came up with these words that supposedly do away with an implicit machismo of some sort, which, IMO, is ridiculous.

Not really. Latino in Spanish goes back to the 1400's, and refers to towns or cities that spoke latin-based languages.

But more importantly, this news bit from the Real Academia Española sums up my sentiment (article is in english)

i dont really see the harm, it only doesnt make sense to me in that i dont know how you would pronounce latinx when spoken, etc. makes more sense to use a spelling that is more phonetically reasonable, just from a practical perspective

maybe. i dont see the harm other than the nuisance of adjusting. its obviously annoying when not used to it... its why americans never picked up the metric system either, even despite having legislation to try to push that conversion

its a thing in english too, where we dont have a "gender neutral" pronoun per se, so most often people default to he/him when talking about a hypothetical. sometimes you can say something like "when one does this" but often times you are forced to using a gendered word when there isn't really one (some people super awkwardly say "he or she" every time).

is it something that needed to be introduced... probably not. was defaulting to the male pronouns symptomatic of patriarchy... even if it was, i dont see how it is inherently harmful. but its ultimately a symptom of languages that force gendered words. not a big deal imo.
