Worth noting that Latinos are themselves colonizers (well, at least of mixed ancestry). Latinx is still stupid and condescending, but framing it as colonialism is a bit reductive.

In the early 1800s my Latin American country still had separate towns for different ethnicities, but today most of us are of mixed ancestry.
Does the modern definition of colonizer include mixed ancestry descendants too?
