The point is obviously to disrupt that normality, but it’s absolutely a word for and by US activists speaking English.

The word used by activists in Latin America is “Latine”, if you’re curious. It’s actually pronounceable in Spanish!

In the Spanish-speaking world you can find the endings -e, -@, and -x. Depending on the area/organization one or other can be used (also, differing ways of pronouncing them; I'm a native and barely have heard any one pronounce the -e versions ever).
