So I’m white but my wife is Latina and considering Latinx was tacked onto the language by a bunch of random white kids I’d say it’s pretty well disliked given where we live. Never heard Latine but I’d imagine that also isn’t going over very well.

OP you’ve made the mistake of presuming the world at large knows what DNI stands for.

I’m also in the “stop butchering my language” camp, however I see you don’t mean using Latine or Latinx as a replacement for Latino and Latina in general. You are asking whether non-binary people prefer Latinx or Latine in their personal ID documents. Which is one of the few cases I think using the term is justified.

But since I’m not part of your demographic in question I don’t know if my answer is valid. I guess Latine is at least easier to pronounce than Latinx so there ya go.

I’m a white guy and I think both are pretty retarded

As someone who used Latinx in a Lemmy post and then was down voted to oblivion, just go Latino or Latina. But good on you for asking people how they’d like to be called.

Latinx is an Anglicization

But also has radical roots among the Latin American community within the US

idk i have passing complexion and little connection to the community so probably not my business 🤷‍♀️

Funnily enough, in French, “latine” is the feminine form of the adjective “latin” lol

Latine

Latinx is a bastardization of the Spanish language . Majority of Latinos hate it.

my neighbors all refer to themselves as Hispanic

Well, you’ve now caught on to the fact that any C/ that shows up in any given feed is open territory, and only mods/admins can decide if a “don’t interact” request has to be honored.

And, you seem to have discovered that the subject isn’t as limited as the question you asked, because the question was flawed to begin with. You didn’t include the actual, current, formal word in your list. You’re assuming that it’s a done deal. It isn’t, and if you knew any Latino people well enough for this to matter, you’d know it isn’t and wouldn’t be asking.

You also seem to have found out that your opinion about it being presented after asking anyone that isn’t latino to butt out is tone deaf as hell. Oh, nobody had mentioned that yet?

Here’s a hard truth. In Spanish, there is a distinction between hombres latino and Latinos (and gods, I hope I got the grammar right on that, if not y’all Spanish speakers that didn’t fail multiple classes please make fun of it while you correct me). For the most part, there is an already present way in formal Spanish to deal with gender neutrality. White folk just don’t like it because they never bother to ask a native speaker how the language works.

Now, obviously, personal preferences are going to form now that these new versions have come up. But I gotta warn you that if you try and pull the latinx/e shit without knowing the person’s take on it ahead of time, you’re going to look like an idiot.

Seriously, pack it in homie. You tried, you even likely tried for the right reasons. But you don’t get it.

I use hispanic and can’t say i have much care for the whole latinx/e debate, but if latino or latina just doesn’t float your boat, I think latine at least sounds better and looks better.

E isn’t a confirmed gender neutral suffix - it’s a male/undescribed suffix. Latinx is the preferred group noun for people who don’t like Latino/Latinos (which are the old technically correct terms for gender unconfirmed or mixed groups).

“Non-Latinx/Latine DNI”

Apparently y’all can’t read.
