Overwhelming Opposition: Hispanics Reject ‘Latinx’
Sen. Cruz emphasizes that “Hispanic Americans overwhelmingly oppose the term ‘Latinx.'” He rejects the use of this term as “ridiculous terminology” forced upon the community by woke activists. Sen. Rubio echoes this sentiment, asserting that the term is fabricated and has no place in official government communication.
Governor Sanders Applauds the Move

Many Hispanics find the term offensive and patronizing, asserting that it should not be used to refer to individuals of Latin American or Hispanic ancestry.
