They hover outside and do nothing until the shooter finishes, of course.
Oh no our drones are getting hacked constantly and harassing black children regularly. We swear we will stop the hacking and find the silly hackers
You know these are just going to be used to harass black and latinx students.
The majority of Hispanics don't like that term. Can you stop using it? It's close to a slur if not already a mild one and there's already a gender neutral term - Hispanic.
Sorry, thanks for correcting me and noted.
"Close to a slur" seems like hyperbole to me, but I'm also Team Hispanic since that's just how I've always identified and it's conveniently both gender neutral and widely accepted. I'm personally neutral on Latinx—I'm not offended by it, and it can be a useful indicator for me that someone is at least not a raging bigot, but it sounds clunky IMO and it doesn't work in Spanish (I'd probably go with latine in the latter case).
Regardless, I don't think you did anything wrong, especially since there are absolutely people who self-identify as Latinx. It's just one of those things that depends heavily on your audience.
why shoot when i can cut myself in front of every peeps out there
