My Lights, Camera, and Reaction!

The following post is from TazzDaddy.com:

Yesterday, the Pew Research Center released a new poll about race relations in the U.S. Here’s what they found . . .

According to the survey, 39% of blacks say that African-Americans are better off now than five years ago. That’s up from just 20% in 2007.

But 81% of blacks say more changes are still needed to ensure equality. Only 47% of Hispanics and 36% of whites agree. And here’s something kind of interesting . . .

When asked how well they get along with Hispanics, more than 70% of whites and blacks say they get along with Hispanics “very well” or “pretty well.”


But only about HALF of all Hispanics say they get along with whites and blacks “very well” or “pretty well.” (–In other words, that friendly Latino landscaper you like so much? Yeah, he hates your guts.)

Overall, nearly FOUR in FIVE American-born Hispanics say they feel at least some discrimination against their group.


And maybe the craziest thing the survey uncovered is that blacks are NOT the most discriminated group anymore. According to ALL respondents, 23% think Hispanics are discriminated against “a lot.”

That’s compared to 18% for blacks, 10% for whites and 8% for Asians.
