Ernesto Aguilar on Culturally insensitive

I was tidying up the Culturally Insensitive section, and realized it makes no sense to have a statement he Brazil and Honduras don't have a world for "slut" when they clearly found a satisfying replacement, as shown by the re-naming for Spanish and Portuguese. I wanted to keep the words and attribute them to Aguilar, who seemed to be author in the source, but I got a 404 error. Should I assume he's the author of the phrase?

Well, that was why I was asking this here, since the link in the reference returns a 404 not found. Or maybe it was just me not able to see it.

Whatever the case, it makes no sense as it is now, the text states: "countries including Brazil and the Honduras. No equivalent term for the word "slut" exists in these areas" without WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV, since it clearly doesn't match all the other sources stating Latin Americans and even Indians found their own equivalent words for "slut"

Please let me know if I'm missing something. --Luxxxbella "There is no knowledge that is not power" 21:53, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Jeez, now you're starting to use shortcuts that I don't know. You're really drinking in all the policies you can find, aren't you? I think you're right. They've been using the word "puta" as a replacement, and it doesn't make a lot of sense to say no word exists. Give me a day to see if that newspaper gets back to me to see if it really makes no sense. Then I'll feel more comfortable deleting it. In the mean time, I'll add some disputed tags.

Hehe, what can I say, I'm curious and shortcuts are fun... you're making me blush :D

As for the text, I'm ok with it as it is right now. I figured since no one had answered here nobody cared and the reference simply wasn't there. (I totally need to keep checking my assumptions)

If the reference is valid but I can't see it, I take your word. I didn't want the article to be contradictory of itslef, but I don't mind records of people stating opposing things.--Luxxxbella "There is no knowledge that is not power" 03:17, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
