Are latin@ and latinx interchangeable or do we say latinx now exclusively?

Well, Latin@ refers to latinOs and latinAs, whereas latinx covers those and all other genders. So I stick with latinx so that no gender is left out.

Latin@ is NOT a race, it is an ethnicity that includes people of ALL races.
