The new term is the second attempt at popularizing a &#8220;gender-neutral&#8221; alternative to Latino, with the first such attempt being &#8220;Latinx.&#8221; Student activists and administrators at other universities have agitated to replace &#8220;Latinx&#8221; with &#8220;Latine&#8221; or use both terms to promote &#8220;inclusivity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Latine&#8221; is even more uncommon than the already little-used &#8220;Latinx,&#8221; <em>Campus Reform<\/em> found.<\/p>\n<p>Though <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/culture\/just-3-percent-of-hispanics-call-themselves-latinx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">just 3 percent<\/a> of Hispanic Americans identify as &#8220;Latinx,&#8221; activists and liberal politicians in recent years have pushed for adoption of the neologism.
