latine originates in south america and does the same thing that latinx does; but doesn't carry the divisiveness of latinx because of that origin. (ie latinx is usually fine with americans who are latino; but latinos who aren't american, or are newly american, sometimes don't like it because it feels like cultural appropriation to anglicize a clearly spanish word that identifies them).
also: latino and latina does not include people who don't identify as either and is also cumbersome in english when you want to use inclusive language; latine gets rid of all of that.
and i'm also old and decrepit; i still keep defaulting to latino too.
very true and add something like this to moderation actions as well.
