They’d certainly get offended if someone referred to them as “latinx”, lol

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.

I’m from the wrong continent to really understand this issue in depth but what’s wrong with ‘Latin American’ as a term?
