Who uses Latinx? | ¿Quién usa Latinx?

Описание: Latino, Latina, Hispanic, Latinx, and Latine— In the long-running debates about which terms to use to describe the U.S. population with roots in Latin America and Spain, “Latinx” has emerged as a gender-neutral alternative to Hispanic and Latino, the two most popular pan-ethnic terms used today.

Nearly half of U.S. Hispanic or Latino adults have heard of Latinx, while just 4% say they have used it to describe themselves.

Yet the 4% who say they have used Latinx amount to an estimated 1.9 million people. So, who is more likely to use it?

Pew Research Center’s Luis Noe-Bustamante dives into the demographics of who uses ‘Latinx’.

Latino, latina, hispano, latinx y latine: en cuanto al debate continuo sobre qué términos usar para describir a la población estadounidense con raíces en América Latina y España, "latinx" ha surgido como una alternativa de género neutro a hispano y latino, los dos términos pan étnicos más populares que se usan en la actualidad.

Casi la mitad de los adultos hispanos o latinos en EE. UU. han oído hablar de latinx, mientras que solo el 4% dice que lo ha usado para describirse a sí mismo.

Sin embargo, el 4% que dice haber usado latinx equivale a aproximadamente 1.9 millones de personas. Entonces, ¿quiénes son más propensos a usar este término?

Luis Noe-Bustamante, del Pew Research Center, habla sobre las características demográficas de quiénes usan 'latinx'.
