Non-Latinx/Latine people DNI

What is your personal preference?

As someone outside of the community, I personally find “Latine” to make more sense. It fits with the vocalization of “Latino” or “Latina”, and the -e suffix is an established neutral term

Personally, I find “Latinx” to feel very artificially added. Its pronunciation as “lah-tin-ex” or “lah-tinks” seems very anglicized imo, and doesn’t feel like it really fits within the Spanish language

But I thought I’d seek the opinion of people within the community

So please, share your thoughts down below 💜

    It’s funny because in spanish it means Documento Nacional de Identidad (National ID). Given the context, I immediately thought of that instead of Do Not Interact
