Ok but literally all of my Latinx friends say that they use the word Latinx, and it was popularized in South America and it is still used there frequently (though as I understand it, -u is becoming the more fashionable gender-neutral ending these days). I actually think
“Latinx” is performative white ally cringemight be what's performative cringe.how do they pronounce it? "latinequis?" I haven't heard -u but I'll take your word for it.
I didn't think about it, but they pronounce it like in english, /lætˈinɛks/
