In reply to the discussion: What Liberals Don't Understand About Pro-Trump Latinos [View all]Behind the Aegis
(53,833 posts)69. Of course, "Latinx" is also a stupid term.
It is mainly a "white" PC term. If people are so concerned about de-sexing the language, then they should do it according to the language, which would make the term "Latine" more in line with the language. Of course, there is the whole issue of categorization with Latino, Hispanic, Chicano, and so on. Basically, roping all peoples of "Latin" and South America into one ethnic group is stupid and just a huge mess (which you already stated, sorry for the repeat, just agreeing).
