Is it similar to the new-school term „Latinx“ ?

That’s not a real word IMO.

I’d just say Latino or Latina instead.

Source: I'm a linguist, and this is an aspect of one of the sub-fields that I work on.

But are you clever and crafty? A cunning linguist, one might say?

Unofficially one of the most mispronounced large counties in the nation Tongue

In Georgia, we have some that GEORGIANS pronounce wrong. Houston County, GA is pronounced like "How-ston", and Taliaferro County is inexplicably pronounced "Tolliver"

You mean GYORG-EEANS?

From what I've seen in his pictures, he's the non-toasted type of bagel.

As a poll of Anglo Voters in Bexar County, this is extremely good news for Biden...

This appears to confirm major shifts which we have been observing since 2012...

CD-23 is almost certainly completely gone for the Republican Party, as the upper middle-class and heavily Anglo portions of the district move solidly into the Democratic camp...

By roots, yeah half, by appearance, no. My dad's side is from northern India so they are all light brown, and my mom's side is from Russia so they are all pale and pasty asf with the light blonde hair blue eye thing going on, so you mix those two things together and you just end up with tan white bagels xD

I'm sorry but this thread is cringe: the "x" and the "j" have always had interchangeable "jota" sounds in Mexican Spanish. It's a linguistic fact that's so old that Mexico could have been correctly spelled (and often was" as "Mejico" in the 19th Century. This is why "Bexar" is "Bejar". I'm sure some locals pronounce it as "Bear" because there are lots of Anglos who live there.

Tender lives in a pile of sticks in the Alps and could be sunburnt on a cloudy day so I forgive him for knowing nothing about Mexican culture.
