Change "Latino" to "Latinx" in racial demographics

[nuritzi]

Hi everyone! I came across this project recently and think it's awesome! As I was looking through some of the questions, I noticed that the racial identity section references Latino instead of Latinx and wanted to propose a change.

Here's the page in question: http://nikkistevens.com/open-demographics/questions/race.html

Here is the wikipedia page about the Latinx term. Essentially, it's a gender neutral term that has gained a lot of popularity recently and is the norm in DIB communities. As a Latinx person myself, I prefer this to "Latina".

I didn't want to start a PR in case there needed to be discussion. If y'all agree on the change, and someone can help make one, that'd be very helpful!

Hi @nuritzi :)

Thanks for bringing this up! I very much appreciate it. I'm not sure what others may think or how we may go about having a discussion here.

I could post this to the Open Source Diversity Signal channel.

Thanks @nuritzi and @germonprez!

Just wanted to point out the controversy in some circles around "latinx", which some people apparently feel as erasure of previous identity. I'm not saying I agree, but wanted to note this for folks to consider, esp those outside the community who might miss the nuance.
