The diverse Latine experience, shaped by factors like immigration status, race and class, is too often oversimplified—both by outsiders and within our own communities.
Yes and I hope that it can have more mileage than Latinx since it’s origin isn’t American and the old Latino/a is bit too exclusive and cumbersome for my tastes.
Totally agree. I find this one much less forced. Hopefully it doesn’t get taken up in the culture wars. It would just be nice to have an accepted neuter term for… latino/as.
The biggest issue w Latinx seems to be with its undeniably American origin and pronunciation; Latine avoids both and nothing shuts down a desire to educate a “gringo” or “pocho” better than when you educate them on their culture.
