Apparently New Yorker contributing writer Graciela Mochkofsky hasn't gotten the message yet, which has been repeated over and over again for the past few years, that a vast majority of the Spanish speaking community in the United States finds the incredibly awkward word "Latinx" to be both absurd as well as offensive.

LatinX is a word made up by Marxist white homosexuals.
Real Hispanics have nothing to do with outsiders defining their culture.
Latinx—soon to be a niche facial tissue...
