| You should actually attempt to read the study you're referencing by proxy of a wikipedia link (also, very lazy to not just cite the study): That absolutely was not the result the study found. First, it was a study of "Latinx among Hispanic-Latinos in the United States". Second, this is how the study was performed: > Building off of the work of Salinas and Lozano (2019), we assess the emergence of and increasing interest in the term “Latinx” in two distinct ways: 1)by examining Google Search Trends as a proxy for the degree of public interest in the term(Mellon 2014), and 2)by measuring the prevalence of use of the term in academic scholarship using the Dimensions API. Even based on this they find: > [...] indicate that just 25% of Hispanic Latino individuals are even aware of the term (Pew Research Center 2020). Finally > Overall, 25.3% of all respondents have heard of the term Latinx. Among those who have heard of the term, 14.4% stated they have ever used the term to describe themselves. Similarly, 31.7% of those who have heard the term believed it should be used to describe the broader Hispanic/Latino population. At no point in the study do they ever suggest that the term is rejected, in fact what it found was that the more the responder was in spaces where racial privilege mattered they used it more and less when they went home. |
