Amazing that you're downvoted. Latino is in fact what Spanish speaking people use, and they despise how woke gringos are trying to modify their language.

"Latinx" (pronounced "Latin-X", like "Malcom X") is a very common term among people who think they're better than other people, and Chicago politicians.
It's supposed to be an all-encompassing term for "Laino" and "Latina," but only serves to divide people further. Like almost every other ethnic rebranding of the last ten years.

A large majority of Latino people believe that "Latinx" should not be used to refer to them, according to Pew Research.

Also a term used by almost no actual Latinos.

That's cool. I have no idea what words to use these days, it will offend someone.
