Jeff Dunham even did a joke with Achmed the dead terrorist.
"I like to throw a penny between two Jews and watch them fight to the death. I also do the same with Catholic priests but instead I throw a small boy! The winner has to fight Michael Jackson!"
Hate that Jeff Dunham idiot. Being straight up racist with a puppet is not comedy, no matter how much your racist uncle laughs at his "jokes"
Hey I get that I was just using it as an example of priests always having been this way.
Commas are so underused these days.
Hey, I, get, that, I, was, just, using, that, as, an, example, of, a, lack, of, comma, usage.
William Shatner, is that you?
It's funny that only white people say this lmfao.
It's like white folk getting mad about Speedy Gonzalez when he's well loved by Latinos.
I'll begrudgingly understand why young people like LatinX now vs Latin/o but it's still dumb lol.
I'm half Arab and that guy is definitely racist, not funny. And as far as I know only white people say Latinx, they still prefer Latino.
Well you'll be pleased to know that more and more young Latinos actually like LatinX every year. Especially when it comes to college populations where Latino people are an ever growing population.

I believe trans and non binary people prefer Latinx
I'm Latino, not white.
So do you like Speedy?
Very much, butt speedy wasn't racist or negative.
