While some Latino immigrants to the United States may want to be accepted as “white” by the wider society, a new study finds that many of them face discrimination based on skin color. ******** In fact, the research showed that relatively darker-skinned Latinos earned less than their lighter-skinned counterparts. (Hmmmm......perhaps people will be able to understand why Blacks complain about discrimination so much....maybe they are not wrong....colorism is obviously more serious than people realize, if being dark skinned means that you will likely make less money in America......that is a very hard fact to swallow...) ***************** “Some Latinos will be successful in the bid to be accepted as ‘white’ – usually those with lighter skin. But for those with darker skin and those who are more integrated into U.S. society, we believe there will be a new Latino racial boundary forming around them.” Source of quotations: researchnews.osu.edu/archive/latinorace.htm
