    I have only ever seen latinx used by white people being performatively anti-racist. Never seen it from an actual Latin American person.

    Now you have, I guess? Some people use Latinx in English and latine or latin@ in Spanish. Most don’t use either and just say Latino in English and Spanish. This whole “only white people do it” (who are never also Latino for some reason?? You can be both) thing isn’t something that makes sense to me.

      Personally I don’t think its a question of ethnicity, but rather of language. Latinx works in English but makes no sense in Spanish
