Is there a 6-9 syllable word conjunction or hyphenation that sidesteps trying to cram multiples groups into a single word that wasn't originally used for it.

People of Hispanic or Latinx ethnicity

When writing about people who identify as Hispanic, Latino (or Latinx, etc.), Chicano, or another related designation, authors should consult with their participants to determine the appropriate choice. Note that “Hispanic” is not necessarily an all-encompassing term, and the labels “Hispanic” and “Latino” have different connotations. The term “Latino” (and its related forms) might be preferred by those originating from Latin America, including Brazil. Some use the word “Hispanic” to refer to those who speak Spanish; however, not every group in Latin America speaks Spanish (e.g., in Brazil, the official language is Portuguese). The word “Latino” is gendered (i.e., “Latino” is masculine and “Latina” is feminine); the use of the word “Latin@” to mean both Latino and Latina is now widely accepted. “Latinx” can also be used as a gender-neutral or nonbinary term inclusive of all genders. There are compelling reasons to use any of the terms “Latino,” “Latina,” “Latino/a,” “Latin@,” and/or “Latinx” (see de Onís, 2017), and various groups advocate for the use of different forms. Use the term(s) your participants or population uses; if you are not working directly with this population but it is a focus of your research, it may be helpful to explain why you chose the term you used or to choose a more inclusive term like “Latinx.” In general, naming a nation or region of origin is preferred (e.g., Bolivian, Salvadoran, or Costa Rican is more specific than Latino, Latinx, Latin American, or Hispanic).

One day English will come up with a non gender specific singular pronoun so conversations involving multiple people don't have to be so unnecessarily confusing at times.

Uh, why not just use "latin"? As much as I dislike that word to describe me, it seems gender neutral and is already established.

If APA 7 is going to be a focal point of discussion, then the full section on "Hispanic or Latinx ethnicity" ought be posted.

Clicky (about 1/3 down the page? Just search for latin.)
