If my boss has a thick accent doesn’t that mean it’s hard to pronounce for Spanish speakers? Obviously it’s not hard to pronounce English words if you have a good English accent.

Spanish doesn’t have the /ks/ consonant cluster, does it? like the ‘c’ in “acelerar” is pronounced like /s/, not /ks/ like in English “accelerate” right? I can’t think of any words with /ks/, anyway. Consonant clusters are often hard if you didn’t grow up speaking them. Plus the /ks/ in Latinx is final, and final consonant clusters are extra tricky, especially since Spanish words mostly end with vowel (+ {s,r,n}). So I assumed it’d be tricky for Spanish speakers, the way that initial ‘s’ is (this I know firsthand, since my boss always pronounces “stress” as “estrés” even though he’s very fluent in English.)

Maybe it’s gotten easier now that most kids grow up studying English? Idk, I’m really surprised to hear it’s easy to pronounce.

how do they pronounce it? “latinequis?” I haven’t heard -u but I’ll take your word for it.

Using “themselves” for a non-binary person or unspecified gender is grammatically incorrect.

It’s “themself.” (Unless they’re plural.)

Also, “Latinx” is performative white ally cringe. It’s not pronounceable in Spanish. Use “Latine.” -e is the obvious gender neutral ending.
