It’s a blatant lie, the Addams were alway European and the creator was a distant relative to John Adams. They just hijacked a series and made it “Mexican” entirely because a European name (Gomez) is now considered a “Hispanic” name. Hilarious how they cry about cultural appropriation as they blatantly bastardize American culture.
The whole “Hispanic is an ethnicity” thing is unique to the US, too…
It literally does not exist as a concept, in most of the rest of the world…
“Latino”? Sure, but again, most English-speaking places don’t even use that word, outside of the Americas… And it’s certainly not treated as synonymous with “Hispanic”…
Latinx is definitely not a thing. Thus, this article, while also being completely nonsensical, couldn’t even exist outside of the US. Whereas the Addams family have always had currency, even here…
No-one here thinks of Wednesday Addams as “Gomez”, as in, “little Latin girl”. Literally no one…
North American use of 'Hispanic' and 'latino' is completely nonsensical to anyone from the old world.
It means 'natives colonized by the Spanish and I guess technically the Spanish descendants as well - if they speak spanish.'
North America obsesses over colonialism, South and Central America do not - hell, Argentina's claim to the Falkland Islands basically hinges on denying Argentina was a Spanish colony and insisting there was totally a real state there before the Spanish showed up.
The reason for this is that Globohomo is a self-hating anglo phenomenon that breeds and festers in anglo nations.
Prime example of this: Ana de Armas. Cuban. Then moved to Spain. Now, obviously, Hollywood…
Obviously she is “Hispanic”, but is she “Latino”..?
If so, isn’t it a bit weird that she is playing “all-American gal” Marilyn Monroe..? Isn’t that a bit contradictory..?? 🤔
Or friggin’ Anya Taylor-Joy, who is technically “Latino and Hispanic”, and thus was termed a “woman of colour” by Vanity Fair or some shit, and yet she is like, half-British, and the whitest white person you will ever see…
So you see what I mean? This whole “Hispanic/Latino” falls down completely, under the slightest further investigation…
It just… Doesn’t work, in the way wokies, and the US census, would like to pretend it does, lol…
I had one guy in California tell me it was "stolen from the Mexicans and the Indians." I pointed out that Mexicans and Indians are not one group of people. I said "you are Mexican" and "you stole it from the Indians." By the time my ancestors got here there were almost no Indians.
It's also pretty amusing that they think that if not for white people, they'd own all this land as opposed to like Carlos Slim owning it and them still being plebs. The "Mexicans" that own a lot of this land are still around hombre. A lot of wealthy, Hispanic-surnamed families in California.
I love the Addams family show. Never saw the 90s movie but likes the MC Hammer song. Yea, Gomez is a name from Spain. Not sure what they are referring to but to these idiots everything is racism/sexism/colonialism. I also don’t take people seriously when they say certain things like latinx, cis, misgender, etc. I love how they ignore that “latinx” is extremely unpopular among Hispanics.
Anti colonialism propeganda was a means to tear down the influence of the European empires so America could have the influence instead. And the 3rd world has been worse off ever since. IIRC the CIA especially used it to weaken and destroy what was left of the British and French empires post WW2.

Pardon my ignorance about the history of the Americas, but aren't "Latin Americans" also descended from European colonists?
They pretend to be native when it's convenient.
"Let's get those colonizers," yells the increasingly nervous white hispanics.

It depends on the people. Some are white, some are natives, some are black, and some are any mixture of the above.
In the immortal words of Mean Girls…
Stop trying to make Latinks happen. It’s not gonna happen. Lol…
Apparently they're going with "Latine" now.
Rhymes with Latrine.
"Latinx" is anglocentric linguistic colonialism and cultural imperialism.
Was already not going to watch this. Guess I'll not watch it even harder now.
I guess they've never heard of Cortez or Pizarro. Pot, meet kettle.

Addams Family Values is a good movie, you should check it out if you like the original series.
Will do
And yet the lefty media was pissing and moaning about how 'white' the cast is.
