The term in English "Latin" is already gender neutral. No need to "fix" my Spanish from an anglophone perspective.
-
No one has adopted latinx stop lying
-
"We recently adopted the term LatinX" ? who made this decision?
-
nobody has adopted "latinx" ..........
-
If you expect me to understand the difference after watching this video, you must be very confused yourself!
-
“LatinX” yikes, que feo.
-
Latino is a despective anglo-saxon word. As Spaniard. Right ? My Britards? Is called Iberoamericano. And its funneh to see a person who barely speaks spanish, working for the BBC, to lecture me about my country and my culture. Greetings from Hispania and Lusitania, aka IBERIA. I didnt expect less watching your anglo museums, fullfilled with Brittish history and pieces of the brittish culture.

Both of those terms I never heard outside of the USA.
-
Yeah, I’m never saying Latin x. Ever.
-
We don't even use those terms here in the UK. WTF! BBC! Those two terms are American categories and are rarely used outside of the USA.

Hispanic comes from the word Hispania which was the Roman Region of the entire Iberian peninsula. So Hispania encompassed both Portugal and Spain. And even within Spain, several different languages are spoken apart from Spanish, i.e, Aranese, Basque, Catalan, and Galician.

As a Latino, Lantinx is not a word
-
I would argue that Spaniards are also Latin; not Latin American, but Latin European, like the French, Italians, Romanians, and other peoples who speak Latin-derived languages.
-
Latinx? What a joke.
-
Latin x sounds like something I watch a 3 am and deleted the evidence 🤦♂️🥴😅
-
I'm still confused !!!!!!!!!

The French politician Michel Chevalier is often credited with popularizing the term "Latin America" in his 1836 book "Des intérêts matériels en France, en Espagne, et surtout en Belgique" (Material Interests in France, Spain, and especially in Belgium). Chevalier used the term to distinguish the countries of the Americas from Anglo-Saxon America, referring to the English-speaking countries.

Latino: Pre-Roman people who lived on the Italian peninsula. Hispanic: People who lived in the Roman province of Hispania (Iberian peninsula). The rest is American invention ...

Call me latinx one more time and you will see why i am still alive in the streets of argentina

It is incredible that a media like the BBC makes these kinds of mistakes. Latino is NOT a geographic reference, it is a reference to the language a person speaks. A Latino is a person who speaks a language that comes from Latin. The original Latinos are from Europe.
