What is your personal preference?
As someone outside of the community, I personally find “Latine” to make more sense. It fits with the vocalization of “Latino” or “Latina”, and the -e suffix is an established neutral term
Personally, I find “Latinx” to feel very artificially added. Its pronunciation as “lah-tin-ex” or “lah-tinks” seems very anglicized imo, and doesn’t feel like it really fits within the Spanish language
But I thought I’d seek the opinion of people within the community
So please, share your thoughts down below 💜
Latine
Latinx is a bastardization of the Spanish language . Majority of Latinos hate it.
That whole push in late 2010s was artificial.
Nobody asked for it and the target group thought it was weird since they got their own language that covers gender neutral situations very well.
First time hearing this term brought in years tho
Didn’t realize people are still pushing its usage.
