US minorities don't trust each other

blacks, Hispanics and Asians -- have little trust for each other and hold prejudiced views about Americans of different ethnic origins to their own, a poll showed Wednesday.
"This extraordinary poll reveals some unflattering realities that exist in America today," said Sandy Close, head of new America Media (NAM) which sponsored the poll together with ethnic media groups.

Forty-four percent of Hispanics and 47 percent of Asians are "afraid of African-Americans because they are responsible for most of the crime," the survey of 1,105 adults drawn from the three ethnic groups showed.

More than half of black Americans polled and 46 percent of Hispanics said Asian business owners do not treat them with respect.

And half of African-Americans said Latin American immigrants "are taking jobs, housing and political power away from the black community."

Hispanics and Asians, whose populations are made up mainly of immigrants, were positive about the American dream, saying that those who work hard in the United States reap the rewards of their toil.

In contrast, more than 60 percent of African-Americans dismissed the American dream as not working for them.

All three ethnic groups viewed white Americans in a more favorable light than they did members of another minority.

Sixty-one percent of Hispanics, 54 percent of Asians and 47 percent of African-Americans said they would rather do business with whites than members of the other two groups.

"The poll reaffirms that while race relations between ethnic groups and whites grab the headlines, there are also serious racial problems between minority groups in America," said Sergio Bendixen, an expert on Hispanic and multilingual polling.

"Blacks feel they are left out of the American Dream and are being displaced by newcomers, and each group buys into the negative stereotypes about the other two," he said.

The three minority groups did agree that the United States would be a better place if blacks, Asians and Hispanics held more authoritative positions at universities, in business, media and government.

They also said they believe racial tensions in the United States will ease over the next 10 years

My rig is purple, so I voted that. The only purple "person" I know is Barney and he's annoying. Are one of those telletubby things purple too? I generally don't watch kids shows, so I don't know.

The only people the American dream does not work for are lazy asses. So guess to what group those 60% belong

minority groups in America

This fucking term needs to go away quickfast.

First, we're almost all immigrants anyway (apologies to the Native American Indians among us) and secondly, things would be a lot smoother around here if:

a) those of us that are citizens all started considering ourselves to be "Members of the United States of America" with no BS hyphenated add-ons,

and

b) we stop harboring, employing, and protecting illegal immigrants.

You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Where I fit in? I am not Native American Indians, but there immigrants to this land too, somewhere between 12,000 to 20,000 years ago.
My family from both sides got here in 1680 and 1720, before this was the United States of America, So I feel I can say "no, they didn't immigrate to this country".

But they weren't illegal. Because they were the first humans. And the wooly mammoths didn't have laws. Well, they did; but they were strictly dietary laws. It's a long story.


Oh - anyhow, as did the majority, I voted purple. In terms of hair color, those people definitely cause the most trouble. Except the purple-hairs in my kid's art class. Those folks are actually pretty mellow.

Who chose to call them African-Americans, or Mexican-Americans, or, or?

I imagine they did.

We are not immigrants. Immigrants have moved from point A to point B. I have lived here my whole life.

My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.
