Ok, so I recently heard this term “Latinx” for the first time a few days ago and now I just got an email from my local community college welcoming me to join the local “Latinx Student Association.” I’m assuming that this is some effort by the gods of political correctness to avoid using the gendered references of Latino or Latina.
So I have a question. If it’s now deemed obligatory to refer to people from Latin America as Latinx, does that mean that I am also equally obliged to now refer to people from China as Chinx?
Oh right, they’re not part of the inter-sectional coalition, so the concerns of Chinese people probably aren’t considered valid by them anyway.
