Colonist is exactly how my Mexican born and raised wife feels about Latinx. She finds the term highly offensive.

As far as she is concerned, Latinx is just another instance of white colonizers trying to impose their will on the indigenous population.

LGBT Hispanic people started Latinx.

Is there a gender neutral term your wife likes?

> LGBT Hispanic people started Latinx.

A few Hispanic that were also LGBT started Latinx. LGBT Hispanic are not some hivemind borg and when people state "LGBT Hispanic people did X" it eliminates the agency of all the individuals who are both LGBT and Hispanic.

X people did Y just means the people who did Y were X. American astronauts walked on the moon.
