Hispanic here too. I got explained to when I said I didn’t think the Spanish language was sexist and that only 5% of US Latinos used “latinx.”

- pxmpxm 4y agoI always assumed that stuff was coming from english speaking white kids, rather than anyone that natively speaks a gendered language.
- garbagecoder 4y agoLatinx was originated by a Mexican-American (I am not Mexican-American but am Hispanic) but definitely spread by white liberals. Just call people what they want to be called. This goes for Americans too even though "America" means the whole hemisphere. When Italians are talking about a watered down coffee, they aren't blaming it on Colombia.
