Regardless of who created it, I've never seen a non-white person use it. My wife is Hispanic, and it has been offensive to her and her family.

But why is it so offensive? All I see is knee-jerk reactions giving supposed racist motives to the term, when it's been established that this term originated with native Spanish speakers!

I personally think that choosing 'x' was a poor choice, and it's basically unpronounceable by everyone in both Spanish and English. But making up supposed racist origins is a bit much.

Do you have a credible source for this claim? All I’ve ever seen are vague assertions it originated “organically” in the early 2000s.

BS its origins are unknown. You have no idea who made it.
