About One-in-Four U.S. Hispanics Have Heard of Latinx, but Just 3% Use It

[Celticguy]

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.

maybe if you're italian thats the new term...
it only seems dated because its not exactly PC.

It's a thing to the ***global movement.***

The Latinos and Hispanics are telling the "global movement" to butt out, Jacky.

Admit it Earl. You're NOT Woke.

[Damocles]

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.

Inane. Latinos lived in what you currently called the US, back when "Mexico" included California, New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, some of Colorado, etc.

Not knowing your own history doesn't change the reality of your stupid racism.

Read this slowly, because racists have sloping foreheads and can't think quickly.

More often than not folks that you think are "mexican" are from less southern places and are likely Native American descent rather than "Mexican". You should also understand that the Spanish folks made it up to the lower 48 and interbred creating "latinos" even among that population.

Even that doesn't change that a large portion of the folks you think are "wetbacks" never had to cross a river, aren't Mexican, aren't even Latino (though they often are at least partially European making their ancestry much like the Latinos you so disparage).

Your stupidity notwithstanding, folks that lived here before the Vikings discovered Native Americans were living here may have browner skin than yours, but it doesn't necessarily make them Latino.

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.

Not true, about most. The Latino population grew tremendously in between Texas & California in the last 100 years.
Most came from South of the border.

Texas was part of Spain & the USA longer than it was Mexico.

Mexico promoted Anglos to settle Texas to help them govern & keep out Indigenous raiders including the Comanche.

By the time Texas split from Mexico it was more English than Spanish speaking.

What we know about illegal immigration from Mexico
By Ana Gonzalez-Barrera and Jens Manuel Krogstad

There were 11.6 million immigrants from Mexico living in the United States in 2017, and fewer than half of them (43%) were in the country illegally, according to Pew Research Center estimates. Mexico is the country’s largest source of immigrants, making up 25% of all U.S. immigrants.

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..."

Texas was part one of Spain & the USA longer than it was Mexico.

Mexico promoted Anglos to settle Texas to help them govern & keep out Indigenous raiders including the Comanche.

By the time Texas split from Mexico it was more English than Spanish speaking.

Which still doesn't change that not every brown skinned person in the lower 48 is "latino" or even from Mexico. Just saying that some folks came here to increase their numbers doesn't change that all of the places I listed had the history I noted. Not even every Spanish speaker in the US came across a border, even all the Latinos that are here aren't "wetbacks" as your brother racist called them. Quite simply, it is quite normal to see brown folk that were not from Mexico in the United States, because brown folks were here before the white folks came. Brown folks were here even before the pope divided South America between Spain and Portugal.

I wonder if a majority of people in the hood know what BIPOC is.

I doubt it. LatinX and BIPOC are terms that white leftists come up with to make themselves feel better. Better than you and better about themselves. (because they loathe themselves for their inner racism)

Real people hardly ever hear of this BS.

I would never try to find a literal sense for any hateful slang racist term- Wetback is just as equally racist as the terms Taco-propelled Mother Fuckers, pepper-bellies, beaners, and etc.

Not familiar with the term "indigenous" ?
Means people originally from around here. While the "First People" were not really FROM here (they came from Asia we are told) they've been here long enough to quality.
I, for example am not really so as my people came from the British Isles (mostly).
And the missus, though related to Pocahontas, cannot be accurately viewed as one.
One relative does not an indigenous make.

Old demographic data shows an enormous increase in Latinos in the USA South West in even just 40 years!

I didn't deny some old Spanish speaking families in the USA South west.

Not all are even Brown.

The Whitest part of Mexico is the North.

Now why can a Spanish Conquistador or Slave trader get Affirmative Action but I of oppressed Polish & Irish near refugees can't!?

I actually advocate Indigenous rights.

Ask yourself if the Left cares!?

Nearly 60% of Indigenous Americans marry non Indigenous people.

Is that going to keep them alive l& kicking long term!?

Paisa
Really mexican

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Paisa

[Celticguy]

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Paisa

not derived from "paesano", which is italian.

Paisa is slang for someone who is from your country. Paisa is derived from the word ‘país’ in Spanish which means country.
