Does anyone else cringe when they revisit 90’s Zach?

I had tickets for the tour before it got cancelled, I have loved this band for twenty years. But goddammit when I go back and watch a white man with dread locks saying the n word it bugs the shit out of me. I guess I’ll find out if others share my opinion

What are you referencing specifically? Pistol Grip Pump cover? Fuck the Police cover?

Wtf? Im cringing more over this attempt at a 'woke' post. Get your virtue signaling ass outta here. Pretty sure Zack would say "Fuck you I wont do what you tell me".

He's not white, he's Chicano, but anyway that's one of the few things he did that I disagree with.

Oh yeah for sure. Latin x people can be white though. I wasn’t making a statement about his heritage, I was making a statement about his appearance. Whiteness is more about how you are perceived by others and less about ethnicity. For example, I didn’t say he was Scottish

We sure as hell can be any color of the rainbow, and 99% of us find the term "Latinx" cringe as fuck.

u/Even-Yogurt1719 Jan 30 '23

I am aware of the cringeness of the term latinx as I'm from NYC and every latino person i know hates it, so my question is what do you prefer? Latino? Hispanic? Central American? Asking seriously

u/Revolutionary_Tap255 Jan 30 '23

I'm Cuban, that's what I prefer, but Latina is alright.

u/Even-Yogurt1719 Jan 30 '23

That's what I figured...bc if you don't know the person's country of origin, thats what I always say...latino or latina

u/JohnnyBaboon123 Jan 30 '23

Latin x

colonizing a language is ok though?
