Individuals want to decide for themselves how they are defined

By AARON RODRIGUEZ | December 9, 2021 

If you’ve recently filled out a school admission form, read a story in the local paper, or listened to a white politician talk about Latinos, then you may have heard the term Latinx. As a gender-neutral alternative to the term Latino, it has flourished on college campuses and in the mainstream media, yet its reception in the Hispanic community has been chilly.

The reasons for this are many, but chief among them is simply a lack of demand. Outside the safe spaces of college campuses, Hispanics are not calling for a new pan-ethnic label. Instead, the calls for change come from outside the Hispanic community.
