It's not. And that shows just poor education. Differently from the US, in Spanish we have the RAE (Real Academia Española). That dictates and gives guidelines on how to write so most people will understand what you are writing. The fact that you are having these issues just shows poor education, these topics have been discussed, and they are clear rules to avoid this non sense. Don't invent rules, read what has been already created for you to write clearly in Spanish.
I'm a latino (US citizen, born in Latin America). Somebody said that also at my job. LatinX is despised by most Latin people living in the US. It's acceptance rate is less than 2%. Comes from a 'scholar' invention, and aside of the scholars with both hands in their ears that want to use it, almost all Hispanic and Latinos dislike the term, specially the ones living in the US. I compared it to using the N word with African American people. Call them something they want to be called, not whatever you want to call them.
Another dumb article focusing in overbooking. Unfortunately, United was given a free pass as most media erroneously attribute this error to overbooking. It was not. They fly was at full capacity, but they didn't overbook clients. They removed a fully seated paying customer, breaking their contract, to accommodate employees. This is not about overbooking, is an illegal removal of a protected paying customer.
