PAOLA RAMOS: ‘LATINX’ HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MOST POLITICIZED WORDS; ‘REPUBLICANS ARE VERY GOOD AT MANIPULATING THE MEANING OF WORDS’
‘The word Latinx is now meant to evoke this idea of a woke indoctrination campaign’
RAMOS: “I am very concerned but it makes sense, right? They word has become one of the most politicized words of our time. Why? Because it has been completely co-opted by Republicans used in the disinformation campaigns piddly targeted latinas. We know that Republicans are very good at manipulating the meaning of words. We have seen it before. The word Democrat has been confused with the word – ObamaCare means socialism, a blm means extremist, and now the border means crisis. So, the word latinx is now meant to evoke this idea of a woke indoctrination campaign to the point that even some latinas are starting to buy into that, when really, you take a step back, the only insult in the ward latinx is to create a more inclusive way to refer to us, so that when you think about latinas you are not just thinking about someone who looks like me.”
