'Latinx' is a gender-neutral term used in lieu of 'Latino' or 'Latina' to refer to a person of Latin American descent.
USA TODAYWhen Senator Elizabeth Warren used “Latinx” in her opening remarks during the first Democratic debate Wednesday, it was one of the highest profile uses of the term since its conception.
"Latinx" is a gender-neutral term used in lieu of"Latino" or"Latina" to refer to a person of Latin American descent. The word was created as a gender-neutral alternative to “Latinos,” not only to better include those who are gender fluid, but also to push back on the inherently masculine term used to describe all genders in the Spanish language.
Beto O'Rourke, Cory Booker weren't the first to drop Spanish in a debate. And they likely won't be the last Many believe that the patriarchal nature of the Romantic language is not inclusive and can’t keep up with societal progress, as explained by this Twitter thread by investigative immigration reporter Aura Bogado.
“People will say that it was an imposed term rather than something embraced by the community itself,” Cadava said. He added that some argue the word “Hispanic” is a nod towards Spanish colonialism and shouldn’t be interchangeable with Latinx/Latino/Latina.
