The problem with narratives about Latinx gullibility is that they tend to conclude that an “external” intervention is needed to rescue these communities—that they need to be controlled. This is often the case with other communities, too. As Longoria, the co-author of the First Draft report, told me, “A lot of the conversation when it comes to Black, Indigenous, and Latino people and disinformation is very patronizing.
While he stands by the recommendation, Longoria notes that it makes him a little uneasy, because WhatsApp is “widely used by nonwhite communities.” He told me, “My concern over potential surveillance comes from a cultural difference between me and a lot of folks in the industry. The work I do focusses intentionally on racialized mis-disinformation that seeks to do harm. What matters most is the lens you are using to look at this conversation.
I am a Latina Mujer not a Latinx
STOP CALLING US LATINX. WE EFFING HATE THAT
Seriously, enough with this latinx BS. It's patronising, derogative, and it's grammatically wrong in the Spanish language. Just stop it!
Oh geez, we’re deadnaming Latinos again
Even if you really, really like the atrocious word “Latinx,” why use it when virtually all of the comments are about its use and not the substance of the story?!?
Se dice 'LATINOS'. Malditos ignorantes.
I am ofended by the term “latinx people”. Mostly because I prefer proper english any day.
Vile, snotty racial slur — Latinos hate that disgusting phrase. Don’t use it. Spanish speakers don’t need to have their language be edited by Anglo PC elites.
Muchas gracias, oh great White Patrón.
I am not Latina, but I can read, and a lot of people seem to be extremely unhappy about this “Latinx” thing, you should probably stop it.
Latinx is a slur and disrespectful towards latinx people
Latinx is a slur
I can’t believe this offensive, racist “Latinx” tweet is still up.
Enough of that LatinXslur! We Latinos don’t like it! It’s offensive! It is only used by virtue signaling out of touch publications and corporations like you Newyorker! 😡
Most Latinos absolutely hate being called “Latinx.”
We're gonna keep bullying you snobby Yanks
“Everything I don’t like is misinformation.” -The New Yorker
Could the hesitations among 'Latinx people' be related to calling them 'Latinx people'?
Using the term Latinx shows you are out of touch with the communities you're trying to help. Ask somebody. (Preferably not an academic).
Being a latino, I read the contrite word 'latinx' and stop reading. The careless use of words is surprising. After all, The New Yorker is suppossed to be all about good writing. Alas, wokeness trumped good writing.
“Latinx” = Slur
Researches who didn’t really research the demographics they purport to have researched because if they had properly researched them they would know that the great majority DO NOT LIKE to be labeled “Latinx”
No one will pay attention to the content of your tweet when you use that word
Latinx 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe they weren't addressed as 'Latinx' and therefore felt taken seriously?
'latinx'
The article notes that it was Democrat politicians including our current vice president that started the effort to discredit the vaccines, right?
De verdad se puede ser tan gafo! “Latinx” qué pendejada.
kiss my brown a$$ with that “latinx” bs 🖕🏽
Stop trying to make Latinx happen
If you just drop the X and say Latin, doesn’t everyone win? Who’s making you talk this way?
Stop using Latinx.
Lateenks
Keep it Up Anglix!
Stop with the Latinx. Jesus
Stick your “latinx” 🖕🏽🖕🏽
Maybe because there is no such thing as Latinx 🤷♂️. You can't reach people that don't exist.
Stop using Latinx! We don’t fucking like it!
Every time a minority “doesn’t vote the way they’re supposed to” it’s because of “misinformation” which to the media means “information we don’t want you to listen to”
I found the misinformation in your headline.
Don’t call Latinos “Latinx,” then.
Lol of course the New Yorker would use Latinx. Nothing like telling Those People what to call themselves
Latinx is a woke stereotype of Latinos.
They want strict controls on what you can say. Historically this been considered to be a Very Bad Thing. At least in free states. On the other hand, it’s been thought crucial in every despotic state known to man. Consider accordingly.
i guess someone didn't get the memo
Latinx? 🥴
Lol so these people have no self agency?
Did you call him latinx when they told you to fuck off?
Very interesting how a term that exemplifies why Latinos are losing trust in major institutions and thus driving their vaccine hesitancy, Latinx, is right there in the headline
wesyang Or historical lack of trust for government acting in their best interests. By saying Latinos & Latinas are more “susceptible” to misinformation=Borderline racist by suggesting they aren’t as smart/more gullible. What’s your read about young Black people & lesser vaccine uptake?
Stop it with the Latinx ethnic slur. It is English language imperialism against the Spanish language.
“LatinX” - who knew that the New Yorker has bigots and racists on staff who don’t let Hispanic people call themselves what they want - which ain’t “LatinX”
LOLOLOLOLOLOL!! The CDC and the CEO of Pfizer have discredited the bogus vaxx.
Don’t listen to neurotic Argentines! Latinx is a slur, Gringx pendejxs!
Latinx lol.
Latinks lmao
Good work. I'd love some reporting on the much larger Latino community. IIRC, it's about 58 million (Latino), compared to about 2.5 million (Latinx). That's almost 1/5th of U.S. residents that are Latino.
“Latinx” 🤦🏻♂️
Latinx. Just stop with that BS.
A psycho has just come to me and told me my body will be patented if I get my booster shot
Misinformation? Like using a term like “Latinx” that is largely rejected by the group it describes?
LATINO you pasty white trustafarians!
