It is more inclusive!

Spanish and Portuguese: Just say latinos like we all do dammit

Filipino-Americans have also tried to make Filipinx a thing. It's just as hard to pronounce as Latinx.

I asked my friend who is Puerto Rican if calling Latin people, Latinx, is rude or racist
And he said that older people find it rude but the younger generation doesn't care and he doesn't find it rude or racist
So

I don’t like latino. Latino is the masculine form and I refuse to refer to a group of people that’s half women and half men in the masculine form. That’s sexist
🤷🏾
‍♀️

That’s the same reason I hate French. If you have 100 women and 1 man you use ils instead of elles? Bye.

Latinxxxx

Because excluding trans people who haven't been accepted fully or socially in latin countries is ok but go off on the offensive word itself when it only signifies tolerance

@FlowerTower that's in spanish. In english "latin/latin american/south american" works and is gender less. "Americanx" isnt a thing in english. And I've seen quite a few posts from the latin community, that even Latine could be acceptable.

@Lychee American is already gender neutral. We don’t need a gender neutral form of an already gender neutral word.

On the other hand, latino is masculine. And I’m not using that to refer to a group that has women in it. So latinx it is.

@FlowerTower Latinx can't be pronounced properly or read by screen reading softwares, so it's not inclusive for people with visual disabilities.

Lol it's a preference. Do what you want. Identify how you want. However, understand that the term Latinx is inclusive of all gender identities and is thus used in academic spaces more often.

@Dravin McRae We (brazilians) did try the X for a while, but like I told another person in these comments, it's not inclusive to people with visual disabilities so people don't really use it much anymore. You could try the "e" instead, like latines maybe.

@FlowerTower yes, its gender neutral, along with Latin, in that case the use of "Latinx" is unnecessary here. It's a blog in English. If you prefer the term in Spanish, you're free to use it, but I think we can agree that there is no point neutralizing a neutral word.

Spain and Portugal are not part of latinamerica. Theyre colonizers, hispanic, white, etc but theyre not latinx. To talk about this in these comments will fry my brain of stupidity

@David Jovel half of Latin America is white colonizers, lmfaooo.

And even the ones who are mixed are heavily mixed with white colonizers. So don’t get too ahead of yourself. Y’all most ethnic people be like a third white.

Speak for yourself. I'm a native spanish speaker and I'm all for having gender neutral alternatives that are more inclusive. I'm not trying to erase the use of gendered words, but it's important that we try to empathise with people from the non normative gender spectrum.

That being said, the use of "x" as a marker for gender neutrality, seems to be a very specific cultural thing that arises from latinx communities in the US. In South America, there is a wider tendency, specially from younger folks and progressive people, to use the letter "e" (for example Latine).

@Orion Rojas latino is male dominant. No matter how you cut it it still shows preference for men over women.
