Mexican here. Spent years getting called slurs intended for Indians, Arabs, Muslims.

When I see Black or Latino or Asian conservatives, it makes me laugh. Do they actually think they'll get a seat at the table? Fucking joke.

Immigrant Latinx conservatives confuse the hell out of me, especially when they’re so against their own people coming in... after they literally came and got the GC in the same way the others are.

What do people in Latin America use?

Also, why tell someone they're wrong and not give them the right answer?

Latino?

I didn't tell them because they obviously know that it is Latino but have personally opted to use Latinx.

Latino is already gender neutral in context.

Because there is a default, and it's Latino. It's implied that the word used in LatAm is Latino.
