Though just 3 percent of Hispanic Americans identify as 'Latinx,' activists and liberal politicians in recent years have pushed for adoption of the neologism. 'Latine' is even more uncommon than the already little-used 'Latinx,' Campus Reform found. The new term is the second attempt at popularizing a 'gender-neutral' alternative to Latino, with the first such attempt being 'Latinx.' Student activists and administrators at other universities have agitated to replace 'Latinx' with 'Latine' or use both terms to promote 'inclusivity.' The university's LGBTQ+ Center on its Instagram announced 'identity-based' graduation celebrations for 'graduating students of color and LGBTQ+ students,' including one event for 'Latine' graduates. LGBT activists at New York University have invented another 'gender-neutral' term for Latinos, Campus Reform reported on Monday.
