Non-Latinx/Latine people DNI
What is your personal preference?
As someone outside of the community, I personally find “Latine” to make more sense. It fits with the vocalization of “Latino” or “Latina”, and the -e suffix is an established neutral term
Personally, I find “Latinx” to feel very artificially added. Its pronunciation as “lah-tin-ex” or “lah-tinks” seems very anglicized imo, and doesn’t feel like it really fits within the Spanish language
But I thought I’d seek the opinion of people within the community
So please, share your thoughts down below 💜
What is DNI? Do not insinuate? Do not improvise?
It stands for “Do Not Interact”. Usually used on social profiles to say something like “Minors DNI” or “Adults DNI”, for people who are uncomfortable with having minors or adults following them on social media.
Generally, it’s done to protect users on a platform, not to filter out opinions, so OP’s usage is a little weird.
I am online since ca. 1996. I never ever heard the phrase “xyz DNI”.
I assumed it would be understood by most people. Apparently I was wrong. Live and learn, I guess
Why on earth is this comment being downvoted? OP is admitting to changing their mind when presented with new information, and they are being ridiculed for it? That behavior is precisely what we want people to do: update their viewpoints when they learn new facts and opinions.
Because their mind seems to have been “changed” to “there are more idiots out there than I thought”.
In another comment from OP…
It’s literally as simple as me having thought DNI was a more widely known term.
Also, the person I responded to in that quote was an idiot. Doesn’t mean everyone else here is.
It’s funny because in spanish it means Documento Nacional de Identidad (National ID). Given the context, I immediately thought of that instead of Do Not Interact
