Latinx a word dreamt up by the woke white.

Au contraire. That is the term that most use for themselves.

And your point is?

It's just a made up word.

Unlike all the other words, which were harvested from the word pastures of central Asia, where they grow in orchards. Probably.

Latinx Awareness Has Doubled Among U.S. Hispanics Since 2019, but Only 4% Use It

In the U.S., a Latino civil rights organization dropped its use of Latinx in 2021, while federal and state elected officials across both major political parties have moved to ban the term. Arkansas’ governor banned the use of Latinx in state government documents in 2023. Meanwhile, others remain advocates for the term and other gender-neutral alternatives.

Latinx is broadly unpopular among Latino adults who have heard of it, according to the survey.

• 75% of Latinos who have heard of the term Latinx say it should not be used to describe the Hispanic or Latino population, up from 65% saying the same in 2019.

Eh, not really. I have it on authority of one of my friends of Mexican descent that it's kinda cringe, but tolerated for the most part.

Whoever started it, it's not really used around here within the community.

He'd not actually say anything about it if you said it to him, and he knows it's from a caring place, but it's a little hard for him to hear.

It’s the term THEY used. I don’t generally use or refer to any particular group by any ethnic name. My friends are just themselves. I’m extremely aware that I am white and don’t really

although it is possible I misunderstood because of accents: What I heard was LatinS, and made the assumption they were using the term Latinx. I don’t usually think of people according to what group they might belong to.

And that's all fair.

To be honest, the only time I ever think about where someone may have come from comes down to looking for a opportunity to tell them they need to start carrying their passport, and perhaps suggestions on how to securely carry such a document. Maybe reviewing, internally, my language skills in whatever language they speak natively, so as to break past language barriers?

Initially, you said "most use for themselves" which strikes me as a claim for the population as a whole. Now you backed off that and are claiming it just for people you know personally. That's a big shift, don't you think?

You're perfectly illustrating the danger of using personal anecdotes rather than statistics to establish facts. Latinx seems to be a term more favored by the left leaning college crowd (students and faculty). IIRC, you live in a college town and your husband is/was a professor so its no surprise that you would encounter the small percentage of people who prefer the term Latinx.

My apologies. I thought I made it more clear than I did about the scope of my claim.

Let's talk about linguistics as a tool to criticize "the woke" and The Others instead of addressing the critical issues of people being killed or disappeared.

Minneapolis official says they have found cars left and abandoned after ICE picked up the occupants. One car was left in drive and rolled out into the street. Many others just left in the middle of the street. One car was left with a dsog inside and animal control had to be called to pick up the animal.

The state of Minnesota and the Twin Cities are suing the Trump administration, arguing the widespread federal immigration operation in the state is “a federal invasion of the Twin Cities,” according to a lawsuit filed Monday.


The suit is seeking a court order halting the operations, arguing the federal government is unlawfully commandeering state resources and violating Minnesota law and city ordinances.

I agree. It's an invasion. Trump said that he would punish blue states and cities.

That's just objectively wrong. Latinos use "Latino" and "Latina", and most dislike the "Latinx" neologism.

although it is possible I misunderstood because of accents: What I heard was LatinS, and made the assumption they were using the term Latinx. I don’t usually think of people according to what group they might belong to.

The woke term "Latinx" is usually pronounced by activists with a separate 'x' - "Latin ex" as opposed to a single word, as in "lynx". Trust me, if you'd heard the term spoken, you'd have known it. It sounds even more pretentious spoken aloud than it looks on a page.

Yeah, if you read later you will see that I perhaps misunderstood pronunciation. My Latin Friends tendered to talk about LatinS which I thought they meant LatinX. I don’t actually know many people from Mexico. I know more from other countries.
