Dora the Explorer, with her signature bob and pink shirt, aired on TV screens for the first time 19 years ago today. Dora was Nickelodeon's first Latinx cartoon protagonist — and she paved the way for multicultural children's programming in the U.S.

latinx Gringo estupido

'Latinx' is not a word! Use the word 'Latinoamerican'

You can’t just remove gender from a gendered language. The fuck?

Latinx, Latin, what's the big deal? Seriously.

No. Factually incorrect. She was never “Latinx”

why does dora have to be latin? and why’s “female”? dora should be a black trans-male...if we are going to follow liberal logic

Anything is better than Cayou 🙄

Married to an immigrant — speak Spanish at home. My wife — 300x proud of her Spanish language, says: “Latinx is an Anglo creation meant to address Anglo sensibilities. It’s use if a form of cultural bullying. Keep your weird obsessions out of my language.”

'Latinx' is not a word. If you're trying to remove gender, I've got some bad news for you about the entire Spanish language (among others).

I remember Dora even before TV, as Brøderbund’s kids educational software games along side another world bounding character/franchise Kareem San Diego.

--Nothing like good ol' liberal insult-- The very least ya'll could do is to have the dignity to call us the proper way. We're: H I S P A N I C, not LatinX. ...not even the clan has that much disdain for the descendants of Spain, smh.

You beat me to it. Sesame Street paved the way. And it was controversial in my white bread neighborhood at the time. I’m sad to say my mom was on the wrong side of history in that argument.

Dora is American. Do you identify yourself as ancestry then American? Id have to name 5 countries then American.

Como tú dices 'Latinx' en Español? Gracias.

Sesame Street “paved the way for multicultural children's programming in the U.S.” beginning in 1969.

Dora is broadcast in very many different languages, also. I didn't realize this until we had an exchange student from Austria. Human condition is universal!

I’m a Latina and I hate when y’all use Latinx! Stop it!!!

As an actual Latina, nothing offends me more than the term “Latinx”.

Wow, you're really racist

Won’t exploring become harder with a taller wall, USA?

My daughter loved the show and so did all her friends. There was no other show like it at the time.

This might be outta topic but surprisingly, the action movie of Dora, that I expected would have low ratings, received 81% rating on RottenTomatoes. That is pretty high!

Latinx is some straight up white people bullshit.

What about the “heart” kid on Captain Planet? HE was the true trailblazer

I might have missed something during the 19 years Dora the Explorer has been on air, because I never knew the Dora was a Latinx cartoon. On another note - All the abuelas turning in their graves with the term Latinx. 😄

Another show I created with MichaelJackson...for tv network I named Nickelodeon. It was a film title from '76...

There are no 'Latinx' cartoon protagonists because 'Latinx' is a made up word by self-righteous leftists systematically manipulating language itself for a dubious political economic agenda

NPR: Latinx Also NPR: ' H E R / S H E ' FOH with that bullshit

is that why she looks 19

“Latinx”

Loved watching Dora with my beautiful baby boy who turned 20 this year ☺️

and look how many kids are outside today exploring due to the show!!! 🤔

I thought Carmen Sandiego was the first Latin X character? I think you are making stuff up on this one.
