Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the governor of Arkansas signed an executive order prohibiting the term "Latinx" from government documents. Needless to say some on the left lost it.
On CNN, Democrat political strategist and commentator Maria Teresa Cardona proclaimed such a move "xenophobic" and "anti-immigrant" right after PBS White House Correspondent Laura Barrón-López huffed it was no different than refusing to use someone’s preferred pronouns.
Basically these leftists ignore the fact that the term Latinx is overwhelmingly rejected by Latinos and Latinas as being offensive. A Gallup poll found that only about 4% use it. A Pew Research Poll reached a similar conclusion[1]
IOW, given how Latinos simply do not like this term, insisting on using it by the government would actually be like using the wrong pronouns.
That gender-inclusive term that’s already being used by Spanish-speaking people is "Hispanic."
But as usual, liberal elitists know what's best for these poor dumb minorities who can't think for themselves and are fortunate that these SJWs are around to assist them.
