Employment Discrimination of Hispanics/Latinos

This work focuses on the interactions between Hispanics/Latinos and Anglos and highlights racial and/or ethnic prejudice directed toward Hispanics/Latinos living in the United States. Racial/ethnic harassment is an aspect of employment discrimination that has received relatively little attention, but negatively affects the lives of many Hispanics/Latinos. This work addresses the question of ethnic/racial harassment as a subjective experience and tests whether or not Hispanics/Latinos and Anglos perceive potentially harassing situations differently. Perceptions of harassment are further explored within the Hispanic/Latino group by measuring the extent to which acculturation is a factor that contributes to one s perceptions.
