Latinx is an example of grammatical colonialism at its finest. It's favoring cultural misappropriation of a non-english word over using the proper English adjective "Latin".

I give it 1-2 more years before being put out to pasture with "African American".

[Edit: Also, WTF? Indigenous people from the US are supposed to be called Latinx now?]
