We presented our respondents with seven of the most common terms used to describe Latinos and asked them to select the one that best describes them. When it came to “Latinx,” there was near unanimity. Despite its usage by academics and cultural influencers, 98% of Latinos prefer other terms to describe their ethnicity. Only 2% of our respondents said the label accurately describes them, making it the least popular ethnic label among Latinos.

I *don't* use latinx, but if I were to use it, it would not be because latinos/latinas asked me to use it. It would be because I think it a worthwhile political project to get rid of gendered language. Whether latinos/latinas are on board with that is not super relevant.

That term was one of the dumbest things white libs came up with. It doesn't originate from Latin culture (it's a committee-formed shitlib thing), you can take the gender out of 'latino'/'latina' by just saying 'latin' or 'hispanic,' it's not part of the spanish language (which cripples the expected rebuttal to my previous point), and the list just goes on and on. I really think libs should just 'own' their Marxism and start using classic communist words like 'proletariat' and so on, their attempts to come up with new terminology always end up looking so cringe.
