Linguistics
Hispanic, Latino, Latina, or Latinx?
Usage of the terms Hispanic, Latino/a, and Latinx has evolved over time and can differ depending on context. By understanding the complex ethnic and racial identities of Hispanic and Latin/o/a/x people, planners can more effectively work with this community to address issues like exclusionary zoning and environmental or economic inequality. Learn more about the nuances of Spanish-speaking identities — and which terms are appropriate in planning contexts.
