Got it.

Its ok for a gay person (color not determined, but presumably of Latin(a-o-x) heritage can invent a term to define people, but a white straight Latin (a-o-x) person can't. 

Where are we on bi?

I'm not a linguist, but doesn't Spanish (or French or other Romance languages) use masculine and feminine identifiers, and is a trademark of the language?  And should we consider redefining and neutering all appropriate words? I'm sure someone at Brandeis can get a Phd(a-o-x) in this critical area of sociology/lingusitics

Great movie discussion of In the Heights , y'all! 

Probably a sign that I've stopped taking the chat seriously when I started wondering what would happen if we started neutering elsewhere in the common parlance.

Queen of Sheba ---> Monarch of They-ba
Shebop shebop ---> theybop theybop
Manitoba ---> Personitoba
Hero ---> Theyro
LaCrosse ---> XCrosse

And perhaps personal names could be rid of any gender implications....

Emma Thompson ---> Emparent Thompchild
Sir Francis Drake ---> X FrancX Duck
Peter O'Toole ---> Genital O'Genital
Dick Van Dyke ---> Genital Van LGBTQ
Fredrick Wiseman ---> FredX Wiseperson

"Latinx" is a gender neutral term to replace Latino or Latina. Because unlike white or Caucasian or black or African American there isn't a gender neutral term already.

Here's a term that's more accurate. LatinIDI or AfroIDI.

Identity Issues.

Oh look! A white man decides what minorities should be called! Bigot is as bigot does.

Got a question.

According to a by now widely cited study undertaken by the Pew Research Center and published in August, only one in four Latinos are even aware of the term Latinx, and just 3% say they use it to describe themselves.

The results run across demographics: Even though use of the term Latinx is greater among younger Latinos, only 7% of those ages 18 to 29 say they use it; among those 30 and older, that percentage drops to an abysmal 2%.

“The population it’s meant to describe isn’t even aware of it,” says Mark Hugo Lopez, Director of Global Migration and Demography research at the Pew Research Center, and one of the authors of the August 11 study. “It’s a striking finding.”

And it mirrors what we see in the Latin music universe. Although the term “Latinx” can be often found in English-language press releases, especially when pertaining to U.S. born or raised artists, it’s a rarity in Spanish language releases. Most telling, very few (if any in recent memory) Latin artists self-describe as Latinx, even when directly asked what term they prefer to use.

If only 3% of the people who the term is meant to describe use the term to describe themselves, what are the dollars to tacos, a white woke social justice warrior at Oberlin, Brandeis or Berkeley, came up with the term?

Shit takes time for people to get used to it. And in answer to your final question, zero chance. It came out of the gay community, who did not want the gender identity of Spanish nouns.

What's the word on Russian verbs in the gay community? Is that coming along?

If I had my production company up and running right now, I would produce "King Lear" by Shakespeare and I would hire Robert De Niro to star in it, and I would get Kenneth Branagh to direct it. It could be shot at the Occidental studio in East Hollywood for dirt cheap. The world would love it.

Salute,

Would over the counter Australian Viagra turn bambu from a flaccid Australian dick to an erect one?

Speaking of erectile stimulants,  I saw Kate Winslet in "The Life of David Gale, " which I watched last night (there's a segue).   It's a window into where the country was,  re the death penalty,  ca.  2003, but pretty implausible as it drops a big cinder block of Message on your head.   And the DP opponents come off as cynical con artists under their veneer of idealism.   I would imagine this film set the DP movement back years.

I promise you will love "Promising Young Woman".

One of my least favorite movies of all time. The final twist is not only unforgivable but inexplicable.

[Holly Martins]

It's a bad enough movie that I'm content to let it remain inexplicable.   Unless the explanation is to provide a cheap sensation to those in the audience with heavily sloped foreheads and drool strings pendant from their gobbling mouths.   

For some reason,  I started watching thinking it was a David Fincher movie.  Boy,  was it ever not a Fincher movie,  except maybe in clumsily swiping some stylistic elements from "Se7en."

Why?  I've  heard nothing about it that appeals to me.   What am I missing?   

[Oilcandide]

There are a thousand rave reviews of "Minari" out there.   I'll only add:  yes.   This is why people go to see movies.   This is what movies are for.   Best film of 2020.
