Discrimination against Latinos

By: Britney Almanza

Latino discrimination is a big thing
and it has many effects on a person.
Not just towards a Latinx person
but to anyone who faces with
discrimination. On this
presentation I will be mostly
informing how discrimination
affects on a person and other
important information about Latino
discrimination.
As many may know discrimination can happen
anywhere and at any time. For Latinos discrimination
happens most in the states who had stricter anti-
immigrant policies. According to Ellen Wulfhorst, a
Thomson Reuters Foundation states that Arizona is a
state that was tougher anti-immigrant policies and more
Latinos would report more discrimination.
Many hispanic experience
different types of discrimination
for example many experience it by
being judged by speaking Spanish,
being told to go back from where
they came from, being treated
differently compared to others and
lastly being called offensive
names. This information is all
found in the Pew research found
above.
Discrimination has many forms and it often causes a lot of
problems towards someone who is experiencing
discrimination. One of the causes it poorer physical health.
Experiencing discrimination can have serious affects on your
physical health also it can have many affects to your mental
health such as depressive symptoms. Another affect a person
can experience it trauma and stress.
Like mentioned before Discrimination can happen at any place and
at any time. For example discrimination can happen in schools,
workplace, and any public places. According to “Northern
Territory Anti-Discrimination Commisson,” states, “ Work, Goods,
services, facilities, Accommodation, education, Insurance and
clubs.”
Discrimination has grown over the years
according to an article called
“Discrimination Against Latinos in the
Untied States has Risen,” states, “Most
Latinos in the Untied states say they have
suffered discrimination, more than twice as
many who said so in a decade earlier…”
This causes a problem because instead of
improving and having less discrimination
