A new poll out this week from Gallup surveyed Hispanic adults on their preferred racial term and found "few have adopted 'Latinx' as their preferred term" despite the wokesters' attempts to de-gender language.
When asked which term "should generally be used," more than half — 57 percent — of Hispanic adults said "it does not matter to them which term is used" while 23 percent answered "Hispanic," 15 percent answered Latino, and just 4 percent responded "Latinx."
57% of Hispanic Americans say it does not matter to them which term is used, though nearly one in four (23%) prefer “Hispanic” and 15% prefer “Latino.” Few expressed a preference for “Latinx” (4%). https://t.co/YbqSuiSIFI

In a follow-up question where respondents were asked which term they personally would use if they had to choose one, 57 percent said "Hispanic," 37 percent answered "Latino," and just 5 percent preferred "Latinx."
The overwhelming rejection of an ungendered and manufactured term by those it supposedly describes is logical — "Latinx" is a term created not for the Hispanic community but for white performative wokeness.
Yet Democrats, infected by this wokeness, continue to show how out of touch their newspeak pandering is when they use "Latinx."
We currently have insufficient data to eliminate racial & ethnic biases in our criminal justice system. As president, I’ll urge states to add info regarding ethnicity to their data collection to understand how groups—like Latinx—interact with the system. https://t.co/fsdoT4QPAb

It boggles the mind why Democrats and leftists would continue to use "Latinx" while the Hispanic community resists it, but across media, education, and politics they insist on telling people what they must be called, which seems a bit "colonial" for progressives who claim to oppose such behabior.
I’m no expert on this stuff but it always struck me as screwed up that “Latinx” tacitly casts the language spoken by the people it describes as “problematic,” and then attempts to rectify it with a word that only makes sense in an Anglophone context https://t.co/Sj6JzsMoYr

Ridiculous, invented, language-denying woke activist term not catching on — but keep at it, guys! The Latinxes will bend to your will eventually. https://t.co/ecTEb8Awax

Less than 5% of Hispanic people want to be called "Latinx" and white Democrats still don't understand why the border turned more Red in the last election. https://t.co/gbkPiL1PXz

The Hispanic community is, once again, asking white leftists to stop labeling them with terms they clearly don't like. https://t.co/alOYV5KAhQ
