The blithe obliviousness of the promoters of "Latinx" to their obnoxious presumptuousness is, perhaps, a sign of delusional stupidity, but that doesn't make the business any less offensive. At best, it is cringeworthy--and by the way, I could play the "Latinx" card, but I reject even the "Latin" one.
The art museums, whose job is to present the best possible art to the public, not pursue "social justice," should absolutely pay the price for failing to do their real job, not to mention for presuming to be sanctimonious moral or ethical guides. They are certainly paying it as far as my business goes.
As for the New York Times, I suppose a lot of people never overcome a need for (and dependence on) some version of the Oracle of Delphi, which is anything but truly progressive. One can hardly blame the NYT, of course, for trading on the fact that so many people take it for holy writ. Sad.
There's a famous "terminal rally" in Violetta's death scene in Verdi's Traviata (from 1853). Alas, the terminal rally under discussion here is not at all artistic, let alone affecting.
Excellent, love the "Would you like some more salsa verde on your culinary bullshit?"
