→Latinos in the US: info and reflink added
The assimilation rates of Latinos resembles that of Italians and Poles in the early 20th century, and is higher than the rate of immigrants who came from Germany in the 18th and 19th century. Latinos have assimilated smoothly into American religion, sports, jobs and popular culture. They cling to favorite foods, but have made Mexican cuisine as popular in the U.S. as pizza (which the Italians brought over). The first generation, who came to the U.S. as adults, mostly speak Spanish. Their children are usually bilingual; very few of the children attend Spanish language schools or read Spanish.

Many [[politically correct]] liberals and leftists (most of whom are white) choose to use the misspelling ''Latinx'' (which they claim is "gender-neutral") to refer to Latinos as a whole; Wikipedia even has an article on the term. The term ''Latinx'' is not embraced by most Latinos, however, and many find the term insulting.<ref>[https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-oped-please-dont-call-me-latinx-20201031-3d4e3sz7jnabdflkd45dui625m-story.html Please don’t call me Latinx: Why it’s not my preferred term] at the ''New York Daily News''</ref>
