text: do you think latino people are discriminated against in a similar way that blacks were (and still are)?   somewhat, but again i think it's a question of skin color/appearance because latinos are a very diverse group with many different backgrounds. you have blonde fair latinos, afro-latinos, and those with indigenous roots. that's not to say the blond does not get discriminated against, it's just not as likely because he can "blend in." you also have to factor in that there are many latinos that are immigrants and that's a whole different issue. the basis for the discrimination may not be the same, but it surely exists for both groups.  and for the answer above... "latinos are not discriminated against" maybe not in your world.  and another one, this is proof of discrimination "there seems to be a lot of them on welfare." throwing latinos in a group like that, that's discriminating.
