Latinx is a term that seems to be popping up more often in the last couple of years, but research reveals that still very few Latinos identify with it.
A recent Pew Research survey revealed that only 3% of the U.S. Hispanic population use the term Latinx and only 1 in 4 have even heard of it.
Even if few Hispanic people know what it means, Latinx is now a part of the culture, so here’s everything you need to know about the term.
In 2018 Latinx was added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary and is defined as a gender-neutral alternative to Latino or Latina.
Any Latino can identify with the term but according to Pew Research, the LGBTQ community and younger generations identify as Latinx more than others.
