Most Latino adults have not heard of the term Latinx according to a new poll
finds that only 23% of U.S. adults who self-identify as Hispanic or Latino have heard of the term Latinx and just 3% say they use it to describe themselves.
According to the bilingual survey, conducted in December 2019, Latinos ages 18-29 were the most likely to have heard of Latinx, at 42%. Those who registered the lowest levels of awareness were Spanish-dominant, foreign-born, respondents who identify as Republicans and those with a high school diploma or less.
Furthermore, 33% out of those who have heard the term said it should be used to describe the Hispanic or Latino population, while 65% said it should not be used. Critics of the term have pointed out that the term"anglicizes" the Spanish language and it ignores its gendered form. Researchers also found that people in the United States still prefer to self-identify as"Hispanic" followed by"Latino" or their country of origin.
