Remezcla: Hispanic vs. Latino vs. Latinx: A Brief History of How These Words Originated https://remezcla.com/features/culture/latino-vs-hispanic-vs-latinx-how-these-words-originated/

Serves as an umbrella term for people of Latin American ancestry. Latino (and Latina) are inherently gendered terms due to Spanish's gendered language. Latino is considered a pan-ethnic term that does not provide context for someone's language, country of origin, or race.

Also can be written in gender neutral forms of Latinx, or Latin@s. When in doubt, default to Latino, and ask individual parties their preference, if possible.

Note

People who self-identify as Latin American or Latino/Latina may also self-identify as Chicano/Chicana, Hispanic, or Latinx.
