I am not. Not sure where that’s even coming from.
So what’s the complaint?
No complaints
In my opinion it is an attempt for us to Americanize their language to find a gender neutral way of addressing both male and female Latinos.
Seems like the offensive part of “taco belling” their language.
I don’t think it’s as prominently used as people think. Further in my little anecdote, I’ve been at 4 companies with ERG groups for Latinos labeled as “Latinx”. Those groups were filled with Latinos and not a single one objected to the use of the word.
So it may also be a generational gap for the us as well. I’d bet younger generations don’t mind it and older generations are over represented in these polls.

Taco Belling is actually a pretty good representation of LatinX, yup.
If the poll is correct, only 2 % prefer it, 40% think it’s offensive - so majority aren’t that bothered by it but don’t find it appealing. I know my Latino friends don’t use it - but don’t think are offended by it either, they just think it’s weird/unnecessary.
Just because a mental disorder wasn’t identified/labeled until recently, it doesn’t mean that the disorder (and its manifestations) didn’t exist earlier.
“Latinx” comes from the same stupidity as the identified disorder today.
Hope that helps!

Except for shoehorning in ‘wokeness’.
The term Latinx is just stupid and it comes off terribly, as a person of direct Mexican heritage with both my parents having been born in Mexico…it reeks of trying too hard and it will backfire

It almost sounds like a good name for medication to treat Montezuma’s Revenge.

Even that’s not a real complaint. Just highlighting the dissonance as illustrated by the poll in the OP.
It also does not sound right when spoken in spanish as X is pronounced “E-kees”…

Right. They should do a marketing campaign with the Most Interesting Man in the World like Dos Equis…“I don’t always use stupid woke lingo but when I do…”

Call it Ex-Lat for short.
Also, I have found that a good tex-mex bean meal is a great way to address constipation. That should be called Mex-Lax.

its no secret right I lean left, but its moments like these were I just /facepalm Dem’s are just terrible at messaging from “Defund the Police” to “LatinX”
To be fair, I don’t think all or even majority of Dems do that. But ones that do get an obscene amount of attention.

'Bout a year ago…
Some prog here whined when I used the word Hispanic and tried to say that the correct word is latineieio… i.e. some version of latin_
For some reason this always comes to mind when 40 year old white Democrats in marketing try to act like they’re down.

Wanting an entire culture to rewrite their language… No wonder they are going republican.
