Just 1 percent of Hispanic Democratic voters in Florida prefer the term "Latinx," the gender-free alternative to "Latino" and "Latina" that has been embraced by several liberal groups and top Democratic politicians, according to a new poll.
The poll, shared Monday by Politico‘s Marc Caputo, surveyed 800 Hispanic Democrats in Florida and found the preferred label is still "Hispanic," the primary choice of 69 percent of respondents. Twenty-three percent said they preferred "Latino," 9 percent said they had no preference, and 1 percent said they preferred "Latinx," an attempt to remove the gender forms inherent in the Spanish language.
Support for "Latinx" among Hispanic Florida Democrats is even lower than its support among Hispanics nationally—just 2 percent of respondents to a nationwide poll conducted last November identified "Latinx" as their preferred term.

And how do you pronounce that, anyway? Looks like it rhymes with “stinks.” No marketing majors on the left, I guess because that would be readily apparent if there were.
It’s like a cross between latino and minx.
I wouldn’t like it either.
I am Czechx.
I like how there’s only 1 vowel in there.
Ever see TV from South of the border? Very sexual and specifically heterosexual. Macho men and half nekid women.
people whose personal motto is “hey! look at me.”
Yeah, the Gay Caballeros!
Supposed to be pronounced Latin-ecks. Sounds bad. Stupid SJW fools want to control everything including what people call themselves.
What channel, specifically? Asking for a friend.
The next step is obvious. 99% of Florida Democrats must be relentlessly shamed. Force them to be politically correct, by any means necessary.
Or maybe they should just wise up, and start voting Republican.
Why not just use “Confused”...
If everyone is the same than no one is different ..i doubt the leftist could actually stand being the same.
Sounds like a new protective glove.
So are the white liberals going to enforce this on the whole Spanish language?
A lifelong dream of mine is that one day, people of color will wake up, smell coffee, and start hating white liberals as much as I do.
It’s a stupid word, devised by stupid people, to further alienate and divide.
I won’t ever use it.
Exactly. It started as a gay thing, to get rid of the gendered endings Latino and Latina.
No wonder they don’t like it.
Because it’s grammatically incorrect Spanish.
But since the mainstream media invented it to make spanish more politically correct and acceptable to the "there are 57 genders" crowd, well now, that's different!
Latinx is a culturally imperialist attempt to force a Germanic neuter gender into the Romance languages because they are unenlightened linguistic savages who don't speak the way their betters tell them to.
[ did I miss any of the left's hot buttons to get them fighting amongst themselves? ]
I, personally, prefer the term LaSpandex on account of my form-fitting personality and overall usefulness.
