hispanic worked just fine for literal years and per polling it's preferred above everything else

latin/latin american is another fine alternative

not sure why there's so much energy going into pushing this newspeak

Hispanic and Latino don't mean the same thing.

In any case, I think Latino works fine as a gender-neutral term.

The "outraged at outrage" culture warriors who dominate all the comment sections of news site videos certainly seem to care more than anyone

I feel like Latinx (Latin@)/Chicanx (Chican@) is fine for whomever wants to label their culture/identity that way.

it also makes sense, since not everyone neatly fits into the male/female dichotomy.

I'm not whining, but if you asked them if they prefer to use Hispanic or latinx, they're gonna choose latinx.

I mean, if your argument is that its a term made up and used by white people, the fact that it was made up by a latino and people who are latino use it does disprove that

The term Latinx emerged from American Spanish in the early 21st century,[10] and was reportedly first used online in 2004.[11] The term has gained popularity in social media, and is mostly used by community activists and in higher education settings by students, faculty, staff, and some administrators who seek to advocate for individuals living on the borderlines of gender identity.[12]
The term emerged in response "to circumstances in which existent language structures fail to articulate value in appropriate ways."

If they're doofy to say, then, I'm sorry to say, but yes, they are.

Ask adult Latinos/Latinas and most of them wont know what the hell youre talking about. Its not mainstream, its not said on Spanish channels or radio stations.

Its just another invention by American privileged student SJWs with too much free time on their hands.

It hasnt branch out of American white liberal media tho.

Itll be mainstream in the U.S. when Telemundo/Univision or La Raza 93.3 (popular Mexican music radio station here in the Bay Area) start saying it instead of Latino/Latina.
