The issue, at least as far as I understand it, is that “Latino” as a general term irks people.

It’s like referring to humans as “men’ instead of “people”. It contributes to a sense of patriarchal dominance.

Personally, when I refer to humans as a group, I say “people”, not “man” or “men”.

With a lot of ethnicities, the terms are neutral. Caucasians are Caucasians. Asians are Asians, African Americans are African Americans, etc.

But “Latino” is a gendered term by its very nature. This is why a lot of people have started using “Latinx” or “Latine”.
