    About One-in-Four U.S. Hispanics Have Heard of Latinx, but Just 3% Use It
    Young Hispanic women among the most likely to use the term
    By Luis Noe-Bustamante, Lauren Mora and Mark Hugo Lopez

    "Pan-ethnic labels describing the U.S. population of people tracing their roots to Latin America and Spain have been introduced over the decades, rising and falling in popularity. Today, the two dominant labels in use are Hispanic and Latino, with origins in the 1970s and 1990s respectively.

    A chart showing most Latino adults have not heard of the term Latinx; few use it
    More recently, a new, gender-neutral, pan-ethnic label, Latinx, has emerged as an alternative that is used by some news and entertainment outlets, corporations, local governments and universities to describe the nation’s Hispanic population.

    However, for the population it is meant to describe, only 23% of U.S. adults who self-identify as Hispanic or Latino have heard of the term Latinx, and just 3% say they use it to describe themselves, according to a nationally representative, bilingual survey of U.S. Hispanic adults conducted in December 2019 by Pew Research Center.

    The emergence of Latinx coincides with a global movement to introduce gender-neutral nouns and pronouns into many languages whose grammar has traditionally used male or female constructions. In the United States, the first uses of Latinx appeared more than a decade ago. It was added to a widely used English dictionary in 2018, reflecting its greater use.

    Yet the use of Latinx is not common practice, and the term’s emergence has generated debate about its appropriateness in a gendered language like Spanish. Some critics point to its origins among U.S. English speakers, saying it ignores the Spanish language and its gendered form.1 Still, there are examples of the term’s use in Spanish in the U.S. and abroad.2 Meanwhile, others see Latinx as a gender- and LGBTQ-inclusive term, reflecting a broader movement within the U.S. around gender identity..."

    Um...indeed, CG.

    The Hispanics and Latinos are not going to allow the far left Democrat loons to define them.

    They are telling the LGBTQXYZ crowd to butt out.

    Stupid. The vast majority of the folks you would call "wetbacks" are descendants of less southern tribes of Native Americans and never had to cross any rivers to get where they live. There was a whole bunch of brown folks here before the Vikings came that aren't from below the southern border of the United States.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    An oddity about Spanish grammar.

    The positive command (imperative) for "give it to me'..."damelo" has the direct and indirect object after the verb.

    The negative command for "do not give it to me... "No me lo des" has the direct and indirect object before the verb.

    Don't even ask about the complexity of reflex verbs and the subjunctive tense.

    See, you far left loons learned something today.

    That's really dated. The term now for illegals is "Paisa," from paesano meaning fellow countryman. A Paisa is an illegal and US citizen Hispanics mostly hate on them.

    if they didnt swim across the Rio Grande then they are still in the 3rd world and who cares ?
    if they were indigenous then they are not latinos but rather injuns.
