Hillbillyx

In a stunning and brazenly political move that put her intellectual heft on full display, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the newly crowned governor of Arkansas, quickly announced on Day One of her administration that the term "Latinx" would henceforth no longer be used on any official state documents.

Why?  Because Sarah said so, that's why!

"Latinx" is a gender-neutral term that is growing in popularity as a replacement for the terms "Latina" which refers to a female of Latin American descent, and "Latino" which denotes a male who family origins are also rooted in Latin America.  But Huckabee Sanders, the daughter of former governor and Baptist Bible-thumper Mike Huckabee, was not having any of that gender-neutrality stuff on her watch as governor - no-siree-bob she was not!

By coming out against the term "Latinx" Sarah was able to take a decisive swing at not only the whole concept of gender-neutrality and all of its politically sensitive tangentials, she also managed to disparage many of the minimum wage and sub-minimum wage individuals who make poultry processing the jewel of Arkansas's economic crown.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, a person who rose to national prominence by repeating the lies of an incessant liar, probably wishes the world was not so complicated, and that she did not have to take time from her busy day to tell people what words they can and cannot use in doing business with the state.  Why did Spanish have to be so danged complicated by having all of those male and female words?  Why couldn't they all just speak regular American - like her?

I guess it's a mercy that "hillbilly" is already gender-neutral and Sarah won't have to deal with charges of being a culturally insensitive "hillbillyx!"
