Don't get me started on "Latinx."

    Oh I'll happily get started on that one. I'm latina. Latinos very rarely use latinx because it can't be fucking pronounced in Spanish. If you must use a neutral version, latine is more common.

    My understanding is that it was originally created in I think Puerto Rico?, but quickly got picked up and pushed by non-Hispanic (mainly white) people. To put it in perspective, 4% of the US Hispanic population uses it (2024)

    Don't use latinx
