Long live slang ... Latinos are the real Americans.

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…

I’m Latinx and I identify as such as do dozens of people I know. :)

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.
