Wtf is Latinx? Do you mean Latinos, as is the preferred term of the Latino community and not some BS made up word by white people with a savior complex?
The term being a creation of white people is a common but mistaken belief. Latinx is a gender neutral version of Latino/Latina created by English-speaking queer Latinx people in the early 2000s who hated that the inherent gender binary in the Spanish language couldn’t properly represent Latinx people who didn’t identify as Latinos or Latinas. It’s since become an inclusive catch-all term for the entire community, regardless of gender identity.
Also, I don’t know if you’re intending it to come off that way, but your reaction to the term is a very common one among homophobic Latinos.
But even those who identify as different genders or none prefer latino/latina, ask them, the lbgtqs would always be the ones saying they don’t like that term in college here in california at least.
The way the language works and how feminine and masculine phrases/terms are different based on who says them is the identfier, they use neutral, masculine, or feminine language.
And for Latinx people in LA it is being evicted from their homes to make Dodger Stadium

The attitude is also a very common one among the non homophobic Latinos.

They would always chime in and interrupt the professor, I remember being confused.

I’ve only heard latinos get upset about latinx in california, they’ll argue with the professors everytime
They might have meant “Latino” based on their user name. I dunno. /s
