I'm Mexican and I hate LatinX with a passion. Why is our ethnicity offensive unless you make it different? Why are clueless college Americans trying to make proper Spanish taboo?

Even Latino is a made up ethnicity obvious for anyone that has traveled just a bit. Includes vastly different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. In the US is politically convenient to put everyone in the same bland bag.
