The numbers are a BIT lower than I would have expected, but any one of us who have been going on about the MILES-WIDE gap between actual minority groups and the elite progressives who speak over them, or for them without their consent, could have predicted this. https://twitter.com/GiancarloSopo/status/1190292213487550466 …

This isn't just culture-war BS -- it actually matters for politics. We have a situation where someone like Liz Warren becomes convinced by six-figure consultants that this is how she has to talk to shore up "the base," and then ends up talking in a way "the base" finds alienating

This is a logical fallacy. 98% of respondents just prefer other words, they do not "not prefer" some other words, based on this poll.

I’m on your side here, but the generally used term is “Latinx” not “LatinX.” If I’m to take these results seriously, I’d like to make sure “Latinx” was polled and not the potentially confusing “LatinX.”
