You've heard "wokesters" trying to get us to use the term Latinx because Latino and Latina are too gender-specific for the gender-fluid? Disrn reports the Pew polling organization decided to find out what Hispanics thought of the Latinx label; it turns out the answer is "not much."
A survey conducted in Spanish and English in the United States in December 2019 showed that only 23% of Hispanic or Latino adults surveyed know about the term. Only 3% said they describe themselves as "Latinx," while 76% said they had never heard the term.
Translation: Of the 23% who've ever heard the term, roughly 7 out of 8 don't use the term. I intend to continue using "Hispanic" which dodges the gender issue but some believe excludes Portuguese-speaking Brazilians.
