Short Stuff: What is Latinx anyway?

Josh and Chuck explore the evolving terminology used to describe people of Latin American and Spanish heritage, diving into how terms like Chicano, Hispanic, Latino, and the newer Latinx have shifted in meaning and acceptance over time and across different regions. They unpack why these labels matter, how they've transformed from words of derision to terms of pride, and why the newer gender-neutral term Latinx is gaining traction especially among younger, American-born communities despite still being relatively unknown to most people. The guys emphasize that within any large group, there's tremendous diversity and individual preference, so the best approach is simply to ask people how they prefer to be identified rather than making assumptions.
