To honor Hispanic Heritage Month, Stephen sets out to educate himself on the debate around the terms “Hispanic,” “Latino/a,” and “Latinx.” When things get tricky he looks for guidance from friends of the show Danny Trejo, America Ferrera, Rita Moreno, Chef José Andrés, and Cristo Fernández. #Colbert #ToRescueTheRepublic #BretBaier

ReplyLet’s go Brandon
ReplyDanny Trejo is pretty much the coolest
ReplyI would have never noticed the difference between his ears if he didn’t tell me O_o
ReplyI am confused. The Guyanas and Suriname are part of South America and not Latino or Hispanic but Caribbean?
ReplyAm I the only one annoyed by how ppl are pronouncing latinx? It should be laTINx. laTINo, laTINa, laTINex. I hate this weird “latin-ex” like it’s the language and a letter… is it just me?
ReplyExcellent pronunciation of “mira”, A for effort, but the better word would’ve been “veamos” which is plural, formal and inclusive. Mira is singular, more personal and casual. Love the show!
ReplyI never noticed the ear thing…now it’s really going to bother me!

ReplyMost Latinos when asked, not for jokes, point out that Latinx isn’t pronounceable in Spanish and is offensive.
ReplyYES! The ear trick. Just like he did it at camp.
ReplySimple buy yourself a boat then by Maritime law you are a captain ergo you can call yourself Captain America.
ReplyLatinX seems like it has the opposite effect of what was intended. Seems like something being discarded or excluded to me.
ReplyI never noticed the ear before now it’s all I can see.
ReplyAll Latinos can be called Hispanic/ Hispano because we’re descendants of Spaniards. Not all Latinos are Hispano. Some Latinos are of Portuguese Italian or French descent but these cannot be called Hispanic. However there are so many similarities in culture because we all speak a romance language.
ReplyHispanic are technically the name given by the Romans to the inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula, meaning nowadays Portuguese, Catalans, Galicians, Basques and Spanish.
