Analysis: Racism, not a lack of assimilation, is the real problem facing Latinos in America. - NBCLatino
Thomas Saenz, president of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund , a legal and civil rights organization, points to other ways in which Latinos have encountered discrimination.
Latinos feel that if they speak Spanish, they’re perceived as being unassimilated, new to the country or uneducated — stereotypes that do not apply to non-Latino whites who can speak other languages, including Spanish.over the disparity between the way school systems see programs for Spanish-speaking children — where the emphasis is on teaching English — and bilingual programs, which are increasingly popular for non-Latino, wealthier families who want their children to learn a new language.
This is especially important because many Americans live in states without substantial Latino populations, and a lack of Hispanics in the media leaves a vacuum that can be filled with “false negative images and rhetoric,” Saenz added.
