[Ads-l] Latinx. BIPOC

[Jonathan Lighter]

John Avlon, _New Day_ (CNN) today:

"Polling shows only one in four of Hispanic voters have even heard of the
politically correct term 'Latinx,' and only 3% use it to
describe themselves."

Van Jones, ibid.:

"I've never met a 'Latinx,' I've never met a 'BIPOC.' Nobody talks that way
in the barber shop or the grocery store or the community center. [Democrats
t]alking weird to appeal to people at the top of the economic ladder that
way, and [sic] the working class walks away from it."

Avlon says "LaTEEN ex," and Jones says "Latin EX."
