There’s no definitive answer to this question as it can depend on individual preferences and context.
However, in recent years, there has been a growing preference among some people in the Hispanic / Latinx community to use the term “Latinx” instead of “Hispanic” to describe people of Latin American descent.
The term “Latinx” is intended to be a gender-neutral alternative to “Latino” and “Latina” which are gendered terms.
It has gained popularity among younger generations and those who identify as non-binary or gender non-conforming.
That being said, there are still many people who prefer to use the terms “Hispanic” or “Latino / Latina,” and it’s important to be respectful of individuals’ preferences and use the term they prefer.
Ultimately, it’s best to ask individuals which term they prefer or to use the specific term they use to describe themselves.
