They'd certainly get offended if someone referred to them as "latinx", lol
What does the x mean?
As far as I understand it, "Latinx" is supposed to be the gender-neutral form of Latina/Latino.
Depending on who you ask, it may be more or less offensive than assuming their gender, or simply using a different word.
Ok, thank you.
I'm from the wrong continent to really understand this issue in depth but what's wrong with 'Latin American' as a term?
