Abstract:
The United States is undergoing dramatic
demographic change, primarily from
immigration, and many of the new Latino
immigrants are settling in the South. This
paper examines hypotheses related to
attitudes of Latino immigrants toward black
Americans in a Southern city. The analyses
are based on a survey of black, white and
Latino residents (n=500). The results show,
for the most part, Latino immigrants hold
negative stereotypical views of blacks.
Moreover, these stereotypes do not appear to
be reduced the longer Latino immigrants
remain in the country. In addition, Latino
immigrants feel that they have more in common
with whites than with blacks.
