Latino.
- reaperducer 5y ago"Latinx" (pronounced "Latin-X", like "Malcom X") is a very common term among people who think they're better than other people, and Chicago politicians. It's supposed to be an all-encompassing term for "Laino" and "Latina," but only serves to divide people further. Like almost every other ethnic rebranding of the last ten years.

- k_pres 5y agoAlso a term used by almost no actual Latinos.
- airhead969 5y agoThat's cool. I have no idea what words to use these days, it will offend someone.
- JI00912 5y agoThose someones nearly always seem to be a small group of angry white people on twitter and rarely the groups supposedly offended.
- throwkeep 5y agoAmazing that you're downvoted. Latino is in fact what Spanish speaking people use, and they despise how woke gringos are trying to modify their language.
