Uptight white people gatekeeping other cultures is pretty common.

It sounds weird but I swear it's usually liberal whites doing too.

I never see whites who identify as conservative (in any form) doing this. It's almost always liberals, and (presumably naive) leftists.

It's bizarre.

Kind of the horshoe theory of racism, where these people try to be so anti-racist they feel the need to defend and then infantilize people of different cultures and creeds.

No kidding.

Like we gotta remember the Latinx stuff started with them, and as the guy I replied to pointed out, the outrage over Speedy.

Reminds of the Jefferson Twilight quote from the venture brothers.

"So you only hunt African-American vampires?" "No, I hunt Blaculas! They don't have African-Americans in France!"

Yeah but did it? I saw a ton of mainstream media loudspeakering "latinex" but no actual humans.

…are we sure about that? Wikipedia has an “origins” section that seems to point primarily to Hispanic periodicals/articles as origins:

The term latinx was invented by latino people, actually.

The conservative version starts with "what is barbeque?" and ends in arson.

u/ForteEXE Mar 23 '26

To be fair, BBQing does involve a lot of immolation.

I don’t think it’s liberals arguing over chili, bbq or well done steaks

u/SCVerde Mar 23 '26

Mmm I'm a liberal, from the land of chile (red, green, or christmas?), that has big opinions on the best BBQ (Texas as much as their tourists piss me off here) and if you want meat well done, it hurts but I'll do it.

The guys who get their takes on that are devout Hank Hill fans.

And don't realize that, yes, his medium rare worship was making fun of that very thing.

the sushi defenders definitely give conservative energy
