Non-Latinx/Latine people DNI

What is your personal preference?

As someone outside of the community, I personally find “Latine” to make more sense. It fits with the vocalization of “Latino” or “Latina”, and the -e suffix is an established neutral term

Personally, I find “Latinx” to feel very artificially added. Its pronunciation as “lah-tin-ex” or “lah-tinks” seems very anglicized imo, and doesn’t feel like it really fits within the Spanish language

But I thought I’d seek the opinion of people within the community

So please, share your thoughts down below 💜

    Why on earth is this comment being downvoted? OP is admitting to changing their mind when presented with new information, and they are being ridiculed for it? That behavior is precisely what we want people to do: update their viewpoints when they learn new facts and opinions.

      Because their mind seems to have been “changed” to “there are more idiots out there than I thought”.

      In another comment from OP…

      It’s not my job to educate idiots

      I just block them :3

        It’s literally as simple as me having thought DNI was a more widely known term.

        Also, the person I responded to in that quote was an idiot. Doesn’t mean everyone else here is.
