I had heard this word a while ago and never really gave it much thought but reading up on it, it sounds like 97% of latinos are transphobic nazi white supremacists for failing to change their gendered spanish language to suit the current fad amongst the western imperialist sjws.

What do our resident pardians make of the failure of the latino community to embrace wokeness?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/latinx-latinos-unpopular-gender-term/2020/12/18/bf177c5c-3b41-11eb-9276-ae0ca72729be_story.html

The term “Latinx,” modifying “Latino” and “Latina” to describe people in a gender-inclusive way, has become commonplace — in some quarters. Opponents of transphobia and sexism leaven their social media posts, academic papers and workplace Slack chats with the term. Liberal politicians use it. Civil rights litigators use it. Social scientists use it. Public health experts like Anthony Fauci use it. Merriam-Webster added it to the dictionary in 2018. But the label has not won wide adoption among the 61 million people of Latin American descent living in the United States. Only about 1 in 4 Latinos in the United States are familiar with the term, according to an August Pew Research Center survey. Just 3 percent identify themselves that way. Even politically liberal Latinos aligned with the broad cultural goals of the left are often reluctant to use it.

This disjunction is the subject of intense, often confused, debate. Users of “Latinx” are accused of being out of touch with working-class Latino communities and of practicing linguistic imperialism on the Spanish language, which, like French and Italian, is grammatically gendered. And the term’s opponents are often called transphobic, anti-LGBT and “machista” — chauvinist.

I have always respected Carville. I think he sums it up adequately.

You ever get the sense that people in faculty lounges in fancy colleges use a different language than ordinary people? They come up with a word like “Latinx” that no one else uses. Or they use a phrase like “communities of color.” I don’t know anyone who speaks like that. I don’t know anyone who lives in a “community of color.” I know lots of white and Black and brown people and they all live in neighborhoods.

I just replace whole words with a series of Xs to avoid offense.

Feels good as a culturally conservative moderate to have a choice between right-wing conspiratorial authoritarians and far-left SJW scolds.

Republicans are at that point already, but Democrats are not. There's woke nonsense you can point to for sure, but Biden is not a representative of that ideology. It's probably only a matter of time though.

Also, I reject the notion that presidents have tremendous influence over cultural issues. The culture is moving left, regardless of who is president.

I'll stick to la Raza. I'll ask my friends about it at work. They're not woke though.

The academic ivory tower has a long, storied history of creating terms that are far removed from the very communities that those terms seek to encapsulate. Latinx is no different. Yet, all new words have an introduction, and Latinx is no different on this front either.
