Latinx Orders Burritx

PORTLAND, OR—In what is being hailed as a decisive step for the progressive movement, today in Portland, a Latinx man ordered a burritx.

“This was a very brave man,” reported Jim Saunders, a fellow customer at Taqueria Fresca, a popular Southeast Portland taco stand. “He marched right up to the window and with barely a look at the menu, ordered a ‘carnx asadx burritx con cremx and xtra picx. I’d never seen anyone able to pronounce words like that. I thought I was having a stroke."

Constance Weir, an adjunct professor of Chicanx & Latinx Studixs at Portland State University, applauded the unidentified burritx orderer.

“The case for changing Latinx identity is complex and multi-layered, not unlike the burritx itself. The debate over the usage of ‘latinx’ is not likely to be over soon, but it’s brave people like this random guy who pave the way for a new world. Plus, that place has really good salsx.”

The mysterious Latinx himself could not be reached for comment. According to bystanders, once he received his order (which also included a mangx Jarritx), he walked into the sunset with his head held high.

As of press time, he had inspired the next six white people in line to also order a burritx.
