Which Group Faces the Most Discrimination Today?

The results of a recent Associated Press-Univision poll showed that 61 percent of people overall said Latinos face significant discrimination. This percentage was higher than that of other traditionally underrepresented groups: 52 percent said Blacks face significant discrimination and 50 percent said women do.

Latinos aren’t the only ones feeling that they face significant discrimination; while 81 percent of Latinos said their ethnic group confronts a lot or some discrimination, 59 percent of non-Latinos said the same about Latinos.
