Ocasio-Cortez Pushes Unpopular Latinx Term
6th June 2022
Latinx is the word that just won’t die.
The word reentered the national consciousness Monday when New York Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attempted to boost the word, and accused people of starting drama over it.
In a video posted on her Instagram, Ocasio-Cortez said “”I want to have a note on gender inclusivity in Spanish language. People sometimes like to make a lot of drama over the term Latinx.”
“Gender is fluid, language is fluid,” she said before concluding, “Don’t have to make drama.”
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Ocasio-Cortez is not just wildly out of step with the American people, but Latinos as well.
