The second .. "Latin-ex"

It's meant as a way to refer to a Latin individual as gender neutral since Latino is masculine and Latina is feminine.

It isn't super elegant and not everyone loves it, but that's the purpose.

I really wish I would have taken Spanish in high school. Then maybe I'd know what the drywall guys are saying about me in line at the Kangaroo.

Because I KNOW they are talking about me.

They are. It is fun to on occasion turn around and start questioning the unsuspecting in Spanish. Get some seriously big eyes.
