No one has adopted latinx stop lying
-
The term in English "Latin" is already gender neutral. No need to "fix" my Spanish from an anglophone perspective.
-
"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!
-
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.

As a Latino, Lantinx is not a word
-
Both of those terms I never heard outside of the USA.
-
“LatinX” yikes, que feo.
-
They could just resurrect the neuter gender from Latin, and call everyone "Latinum" or some such :D
-
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 ...
-
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.
-
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.
-
Yeah, I’m never saying Latin x. Ever.
-
i’m puerto rican and they way she said “puerto rico” irritates me. also, “latin x” ? get that shit out of here 🤨
-
So that's why it is confusing to use "Latino" just for those in Central and South America. Latinos logically are any people who speak a Latin language like: French, Italian, Romanian, Portuguese, or Spanish.

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.

Latinx? What a joke.
-
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.
