University paper perpetuates use of woke description while reporting on National Comic Book Day

The Mesquite wrote a report on National Comic Books and Graphic Novels Day, which has a convention at Texas A&M in San Antonio, and ruined everything by making use of a description that's unpopular with the Latin-speaking crowd:
According to Kimberly Grotewold, an education librarian, the University Library got a one-time grant in March 2022 for $2,500 to buy additional Latinx comics and graphic novels.

“We had comics and graphic novels and that kind of collection, but it was what we call interfiled. It was spread out through the collection based on the subject matter it was dealing with so not specifically on it being comics, graphic novels so we did two things essentially,” Grotewold said. “We pulled the comics and graphic novels into a separate collection, and we noticed that there were some that had Latinx themes or characters or creators. Then we wrote the grant to buy specifically titles that were either Latinx stories, had characters, or were by people of Latinx heritage who actually created the comic books.”

The Latinx collection contains over 80 comics and graphic novels that are by Hispanic and Latinx authors and artists and/or feature Hispanic and Latinx characters.
It's been at least a few years already, and this college paper still doesn't grasp that "Latinx" is an unpopular woke phrase? Just shameful. It's deeply insulting, and look how they even go so far to make it seem as though "Hispanic" and "Latinx" are two different communities! What they're doing is insulting to the intellect, and proves why college papers can be potentially worse than commercial newspapers. If the university approves of this, they're unsuited to host this convention any more than are to give it news coverage.
