As a white non-native Spanish speaker I would use Latine as opposed to latinx, and other English speaking people should too, but I think there are parts of Mexico and Central America that do wierd things with the x to the point that it makes sense
From my memory looking into the origin of latinx it actually comes from feminist protesters who had marked out the word Latino with an x over it, not to intentionally spell latinx but rather because they wanted to protest the male default. And the theory presented there goes that over time this x came to be seen as an actual word itself, latinx.
At least that was one theory presented, there's a lot of conflicting possible origin stories since no one knows for sure.
White person here so my perspective really isn’t worth a lot but it’s common to say this online but I have heard native speakers in Mexico use it on podcasts and stuff like that. Probably not nearly as wide spread as it is in the states but it’s definitely not completely a us thing
