Progressives, Hispanics are not 'Latinx.' Stop trying to Anglicize our Spanish language.

9. I took a couple years of Spanish while in college,

but I am not fluent and rarely have the necessity to speak more than a few words in Spanish. While I know the pronunciation rules for consonants and vowels, don't ever ask me to roll an "r" in Spanish because it isn't going to happen.

If I was speaking to a group using English then I can see using the term to avoid a gender bias, likewise I would probably avoid it if I was speaking Spanish.

Now to present the other side of the story, here is another video from the James G. Martin Center (Martin was a former GOP governor of North Carolina) that urges the rejection of the term "Latinx." Considering the source, that may provide some impetus to use the term more frequently just for the pleasure of spiting conservatives.

It will be interesting to follow whether the terminology will become more acceptable in the future, particularly among English speakers. Just as I have become uncomfortable using masculine pronouns as the default choice in English when a group may also include females, I do see the use of this gender-neutral noun becoming more prevalent in the future.
