As a latino myself i find the term stupid. It sounds gross in spanish. it doesn’t adjust to spanish. It’s straight down bad.

As a Latino, I can corroborate that I have never heard it used in Mexico
The RAE, Real Academia Española, which is the authority on the Spanish language, does not recognize the word “Latinx”. The word “Latinos” is used as a collective for either a group of Latin American men or a group containing men and women. It can also have a feminine form in “La comunidad latinoamericana”, meaning…
Well, actually in Spanish females are called Latinas, but considering they are using English, which is mostly gender neutral, the correct word would be Latino.
Same. Grew up mostly in Melbourne but my stepdad is Cuban so we spent a lot of time in Miami. Literally nobody used “Latinx” because it is just some fucky SJW term that demeans the entire culture of the Spanish language.
No Latin people use latinx.
Scholars lol.
Hispanic person. No, we don’t. It’s actually pretty disrespectful to the Spanish language and culture imo.
People who are not latin-american, and very few who actually know Spanish.
It’s not though. It’s Latin, which includes all south american countries and excludes Spain. Everyone I know just says Latin. I live in South Florida. It’s already genderless.
Not in my experience around the extreme amount of Latin people I am around almost all the time.
I grew up in Florida. My family is from South Florida. I spend quite a bit of time in Miami. My girlfriend is from Miami. She is also Cuban. I’ve never heard it used once....ever. Besides on gizmodo group sites and like..Vox/Polygon. I understand everyone has different experiences...but this sure seems like something…
Spanish is a gendered language, you cant just change it just because it works in english.
Can you stop using Latinx already. No one fucking uses it, it’s not a thing and will never be a thing. Everyone I know that’s actually from Latin America hates it and will never use it.
The gender neutral term for Latino is Latino. No actual Latino identifies as Latinx. It’s a made up word by non Latinos. Kinda like how people who are not Native American want to change the name of the Washington Redskins, but actual Native Americans could care less.
Damn bro. Eye roll at this one.
Its strange, as a Latina woman myself, I’ve never heard ANYONE in my family use the term Latinx. Is this honestly a big concern or just box-checking?
Why should white people be concerned about this. As a latino I feel it is up to the each community to create representation for themselves.
We’re gonna have to learn to love this series like the fans did back in 1999.
Welp. I don’t need to type anything, this literally covered everything for me. Thanks Grandpa.
