Crowdsourced business review website Yelp on Tuesday launched a tag for businesses to mark themselves as"Latinx-owned" in a move designed to support Latino businesses hit hard by the pandemic, the company said.
People using the Yelp site will be able to search for businesses via the tag to channel spending towards the Latino community."Latinx" is a gender-neutral term to describe people of Latino or Hispanic origin. "During COVID-19, Latino business owners were disproportionately left out of the economic stimulus effort, and have been struggling," Henry Muñoz III, head of community organisation Momento Latino, which is partnering with Yelp to introduce the tag, said.
Andrea Aguirre, owner of donut store Art of Donut in San Antonio, Texas, said the company would be introducing the tag.
