    There is a growing debate in the Hispanic and Latino communities about using the term “LatinX” as a gender-neutral identifier. Telemundo’s Grace Gomez reports on why some Hispanic lawmakers are going as far as proposing legislation to ban it claiming the term is often misused and offensive.

    Yeah it’s dumb. I suspect they tried to make a non-gendered term out of it, when a lot of Spanish is gendered.

    Some ultra progressives trying to create terminology because they overthink things and don't have better use of their time is far less worrisome than lawmakers trying to ban words for culture war points. But that's just me.

    The fact they tried to push it mainstream show that's the woke people want to destroy culture.

    This woke war is real

    The only thing worse than using a dumb word is banning a dumb word.

    While I agree in general, it's just the pendulum swinging back.
