I have a theory for why we tend to use the word "#immigrant" when we really mean #Latino. It's because no one knows what to call us anymore. Whether we use #Latino or #LatinX, we're going to piss a lot of people off.
The term LatinX gained popularity as a way to be inclusive in our language. It gained credibility because we spread the claim that LatinX was coined by LatinX people, specifically LatinX college students.
The problem is, there is no evidence for this claim.
