Latinx is a term invented and used by US cultural colonialists, that's both subjugating and xenophobic.

What does the Spanish/Portuguese conquest of Latin America have to do with the use of "Latinx"

Sure, tell me: What does the Spanish/Portuguese conquest of Latin America have to do with the use of "Latinx"? It doesn't help it, it does it. There are different native ethnicities still living and trying to maintain their culture and then US cultural imperialists go put everyone into one bucket and call it a day.

That wasn't the comment I was responding to was it. my comment was about Spanish and Latin Americans in denial about racism and their colonial past
