 'Latinx' didn't work so now they're trying 'latine'. 🤣

Imagine a bunch of white English speakers telling you that you have to change your Spanish grammar.

 Yup lol. They literally have masculine and feminine forms of every adjective. When there is doubt or a mixed bag of subjects, they go with masculine. LatinX was totally some kind of failed white savior attempt
