Latin-X.

Idk, at least in my part of the country, have never heard this in everyday speech. And its always been Hispanic or maybe Latina for a Hispanic girl.

^ it was started by Spanish speakers, though

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latinx

The term Latinx emerged from American Spanish in the early 21st century.[14] The origins of the term are unclear.[15] According to Google Trends, it was first seen online in 2004,[16][17][18] and in scholarly work the "x" in Latinx was initially introduced by a Puerto Rican psychology periodical "to challenge the gender binaries encoded in the Spanish Language".[

American Spanish
what difference does that make?

there are millions of people in the US who grow up speaking Spanish, and their experiences, expressions, etc. are as valid as anyone's from Central or South America.

lol, thanks, but I'm pretty terrible.

I work at a college, though, and I've noticed that a lot of Hispanic professors also use it.

Latin was centuries ago.

Latin X came much much later. Also there are body armor capsules and clinging to walls.

Wasnt Latin X the one where they went to space?

No no Latin X is the one with an alligator with saw blades.

You are thinking of Malcolm X. It's the one where Malcolm is resurrected in space and kills a bunch of white supremacists.
