Uh, not for nothing but that sounds exactly like a statement a company would make just before announcing layoffs in 6 months.

Latino, when it appears in an English sentence and is not italicized, is not a foreign word occurring in an otherwise English sentence.

Latino is an English language word found in English dictionaries with the definition I described. Cf. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Latino.

Like many words in modern English, it originates from another language and has a different definition in English from its definition in its original language.

While one language adopting a word from another language does not change the meaning of the word in the original language, the meaning of the word in the original language does not need to have any bearing on the meaning in the adopting language.

Insisting on a non-English definition of Latino for English speakers is changing the meaning of the word for English speakers.

If you want to use the word “Latino” in the Spanish language sense of a male Latin, you can italicize the word so that an English reader understands that you have switched from writing in English to a foreign language.

In English, a male Latin and a Latino are not synonymous. While all Latinos are male Latins, not all male Latins are Latinos.

A Latin is a speaker of a Western Romance Language (Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese) living anywhere in the world, Europe included. Male and female Latins are both called Latins.

A Latino or Latina is a speaker of Spanish, French, or Portuguese from Central or South America. Latino or Latina is a subset of the category of Latins.

In English usage, Columbus is not a Latino.

Latin America is Central and South American places with ties to Spain, Portugal, AND France.

Trump also hosted SNL on November 7, 2015, which was after he announced his 2016 run. That’s where the Trump Hotline Bling video come from.

Isn’t it sad that there is a part of our brain that can now parrot this type of thinking?

Suggesting anything than a complete shut down is potentially harmful according to Twitter.

Twitter was also too stupid when on May 26 they provided an unprecedented fact check attached to the following Trump tweets making a future prediction:

There is NO WAY (ZERO!) that Mail-In Ballots will be anything less than substantially fraudulent. Mail boxes will be robbed, ballots will be forged & even illegally printed out & fraudulently signed. The Governor of California is sending Ballots to millions of people, anyone.....

....living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there, will get one. That will be followed up with professionals telling all of these people, many of whom have never even thought of voting before, how, and for whom, to vote. This will be a Rigged Election. No way!

I see people responding to you about 9/11. The second invasion of Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.

Operations Desert Storm and Enduring Freedom were both started under Bushes, HW and W respectively.

Why did you write “Clowncar” instead of Palin’s name?

And what do you mean by “not to vote for”? Did you not vote at all? Did you vote for Obama? Did you for third party?

Edit: I didn’t process that you said out the gate that you voted for Obama twice.

Snopes rated this post as False: Trump’s brilliant speech was on the back lawn and not the front lawn of the White House.
