Non-Latinx/Latine people DNI

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 💜

    If you don’t want everyone to respond, don’t make a public post. You don’t get to pick who interacts with your public post.

    Also Latino, Latin American, or Hispanic are the words used by Spanish speakers.
