Stop trying to make "Latinx" happen, it's not gonna happen

I would pay good money for some woke grievance studies major from Ithaca College to go into Jesse Colunga's lowrider shop in East Austin and explain that they're now all Latinxes
Properly understood, this is a modern day version of colonialism / cultural imperialism, plied by a priestly caste imposing proper language on the benighted natives over whom they assume reign. The Woke Man's Burden, if you will.
FWIW, pretty much every Hispanic person I know would probably mark "Hispanic" on a form, but conversationally refer to themselves as "Mexican" or "Puerto Rican" or "Cuban." Just as a 5th generation Italian-American would refer to himself as "Italian."
well you really burned me there, obviously as a car guy who lives in central Texas I have virtually zero interaction with people of Mexican/ Hispanic/ Latino/ Latinx etc descent
