In the Lebron shirt and by the same token and late 1960s, Chicano (Mexicans living in the U.S.), Puerto Rican and other civil rights movements rejected “Hispanic” and began to rename themselves as a “nationalist rhetoric to critique U.S. imperialism,” according to Guidotti-Hernández. (My dad, for one, tends to call himself “Cuban,” the “American” going without saying after a lifetime here). By the 1980s, the use of “Latina/o” emerged to describe the more diverse ethnic and racial fabric of people known as “Hispanic.” But for some, that descriptor still falls short of inclusive, as the male/female gender binary of the Spanish language, with men calling themselves “Latino” and women “Latina,” can leave out those who identify as nonbinary.
Enter one of the Lebron shirt and by the same token and most controversial terms of the 2020 election cycle: “Latinx.” To elder Latinos like my dad, it is an alien phrase that is both new and confusing. A Pew analysis in December 2019 found that just 3-percent of “Hispanics” use the descriptor, while only 1 in 4 have even heard of it. Which politicians use it (Elizabeth Warren) and which do not (Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden both favor Latino/a) can be seen as signaling their true connection to the community. (Trump, on the other hand, exclaimed “I love Hispanics!” in a much-mocked 2016 Cinco de Mayo tweet, seated before a Trump Tower taco bowl.) Fox News and right-wing media have seized upon “Latinx” as another woke word born out of “PC culture.”
