Why would you think it is?
Comes out of US universities/press. Doubt the most poor people of that origin were consulted about it.
Why do you think that's a reason for it to be offensive? (Please be specific).
Wait, we need reasons to be offensive? Beyond wanting to be offensive or not caring?

According to progressive intersectional social justice, BOTH acknowledging and NOT acknowledging someones race is racist.

So yes, it is that hard.

The hisotry oif US intervention into Latin American countries.

Privilige + power means no US university or press outlet should be pushing Latinx.

i think you are wrong and i don't like you enough. i also don't think of it as a slur.

And rather than taking the seven seconds it would need to look up the origin and use of the word on google, you ask me to hand you some sources.
The g-word isn't a theoretical slur, it is an actual slur.
Don't think most people are historically aware anyways. i like the way ot sounds.

Here's the difference. If somebody politely asks me to stop using that word to refer to people of Hispanic origin, I will do it, and if I'm unsure why I will look up the origins of the word and its relevance in current society, because it costs me absolutely nothing to do so. It is polite, and as a writer, I have a vast multitude of other perfectly serviceable words at my disposal and plenty of other ways to convey information without using that word.
See? Why is this so hard for some people?
Because people are not the same. Why do you ask? What difference does it make?

Because you're making this claim that trying to be progressive is some tightwire act in today's PC Culture, and I'm asserting that all you need to do is make a very small effort to be polite.

You are making the claim, I am merely making inquiries as to your reasoning.

Why is the history of US intervention in Latin American countries cogent to the coinage of new English words to be used in discourse in English?

You make that claim, yet you are reluctant to make the most token of concessions.
