Poll: Spanish Spoken Here — and Two-thirds Don’t Mind – Fewer Admit Feeling Prejudice Toward Hispanics than Toward Arabs, Overweight People
Posted on: October 8th, 2007“Spanish speaking in the United States is widespread and accepted by most Americans. But a third who experience this language difference are troubled by it — and they have distinctly more negative attitudes about immigrants and Hispanics generally.
Just 10 percent of Americans concede any personal prejudice against Hispanics — far fewer than the number who, in previous polls, have self-reported prejudice on the basis of race, against overweight people, or against Arabs and Muslims.”
