I know it's a gender-neutral thing, but it sounds like:

"The youth these days aren't interested in learning Latin. What can we do to change that?"

"We need a so-called 'cool' name that appeals to them. How about we rebrand it as 'LatinX', old chap?"

"I think you're onto something, Sir Charles Bigglesworth IV."

I don’t know, but it’s been less than a decade. Maybe 6 ish years ago. Because nouns/adjectives are either masculine or feminine then this was the answer to resolve that issue. No a/o at the end— no gender is assigned with the “x”.

The transtrender train gets around a lot.

Because gender is merely a suggestion now. Tomorrow I shall be referred to as only a rose pedal. NOT THE WHOLE ROSE!!! Just the pedal 🤣🤣

It’s an American thing and it means someone of Latin American descent. Instead of the male/female Latino/Latina, they now use the gender-neutral LatinX. (I only know this because I looked it up a while ago after seeing it used a few times.) In the UK, nobody says Latino or Hispanic, and rarely Latin America. We would say South America/South American, or specify their country.

I have no clue this is a thing now?

Tbh there's too many labels these days. From now on I'm just gonna call people dickbutt regardless of race or gender

they never did, bc hispanic is a different grouping from latinx

I heard the expression about 18 months ago. Not sure if they get automatically enrolled into becoming one though.

Is the answer “White People”?

because inclusion, gender is so last year! It's really probably just people not wanting to type out latino/latina
