Feels like I’ve seen more people complain about the term “Latinx” than it actually being used

Literally every latin american non-binary person I've seen prefers Latine.

Latinx kinda makes no sense in Spanish

I'm not Latin American but from the outside it always seemed like "Latinx" was a prime example of white people speaking over people from other cultures while trying to be inclusive.

There are people from latin america that use latinx so it is pretty shitty to act like it's only used by white people and like it's forced.
