.ZeeshanAleem: Could Democrats' use of 'Latinx' backfire in its Latino outreach?
The principle behind Latinx — to use an identifying term that isn’t gendered and is inclusive of transgender and nonbinary people — is laudable. But if the everyday use of the term elicits suspicion even among people generally sympathetic to inclusive projects, then using the term widely could end up damaging the very cause of liberation and equality that Latinx is meant to encapsulate and advance.
I asked Angelica Luna-Kaufman, a senior director for the Texas Democratic Party, about whether the party used Latino or Latinx when reaching out to Texas’ large and growing Latino population. She told me “it depends on the audience,” and she described how Latino might be used at an event of Latino veterans who are 65 and older but how Latinx would be more likely to be used with a younger urban population.
