This article says LatinX is only hated by bigots. This clearly ignores Latine the actual gender neutral term, the one in actual use in Latin America. LatinX literally just feels like pandering by Americans who maybe know one “No Sabo kid” and want to look woke.

Uh I am sure that is what you took away from it.

Well, yeah, why don't these candidates use Latine instead? That is certainly one way to deal with the study's implication.
