Talk:Chicano studies

Working on this
I'm currently working on improving this article, but there's so much to be done, it's going to look "spotty" for a little while. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 20:29, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Additions to Article
In the upcoming couple of weeks I was thinking of adding two new sections to the article as a way to better encapsulate the topic. One is called Background, which would be about the reasons that Chican@ studies exist. It would come before the History section. Additionally, I would also like to add a section about the positive and negative reactions to Chican@ studies called "Responses to Chican@ Studies," and it would go after the History or the Schools of Thought section.

Hello! Just wanted to explain that I wanted to change the name of the article to Chican@ instead of Chicana/o to be more gender inclusive and to promote a more inclusive name for the subject. How would people (either editors or admins) feel about that? Thanks! Tjc81 (talk) 03:01, 12 December 2019 (UTC)

@?
I want to make clear soon that I'm not expert on this subject in all senses. I'm not native Spanish or English speaker, I'm not Latin and I don't have any credentials or competences to make very good arguments and neither do I really have any academic experience or anyway can I say I'm an expert for other reasons aside academy on the subject of how it's American society and similar. But I still wanted to express my doubts here. So, I was looking trough the chicano article on Wikipedia and then came here. And, as per the title says, I soon had doubts regarding the use of "@" as a letter on this article. I mean, is it really correct and uncontroversial? While as I said I'm not native Spanish, I speak natively a Romance language and also I know that in some languages, Spanish included, it's used the masculine gender also in a neutral way since there are only 2 grammatical genders in Spanish and correct grammar requires to use it for mixed groups or for an unknown person. Besides I'm also sure that "@" isn't a letter in Spanish or even in English and for this I'm also doubtful about the fact it would be correct, so even if one doesn't want to use the Spanish masculine gender, even if it would be correct, and even if I'm unsure of why, but since as I said I'm not expert of American society, maybe it's only because of this, I still have big doubts if "@" should be used this way, I mean as a suffix letter, since it's not a letter in Spanish and not even in English.

But again, as I said at the start, I'm not expert or anything. So of course all my doubts could be because of my ignorance on all these subjects, and you can of course ignore all this if you think there's nothing wrong. But I wanted to express my doubts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.38.158.235 (talk) 09:35, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
