Washington (AP) – a little less than half of US -growing believes that black people are exposed to “a lot” or “quite a lot” discrimination in the United States, according to a survey. This is a decline in the solid majority, 60%, which of the opinion was that black Americans were exposed to high discrimination in spring 2021, months after protests of racist settlement in response to George Floyd’s police.
According to the survey of the Associated Press Norc Center for Public Affairs, including many people who belong to these groups, the diversity of the Americans also believes that diversity, justice and inclusion efforts, which are also called DEI, also fall back against the groups that should facilitate them.
The results indicate that the views of the Americans have changed significantly for four years when many companies have made efforts to promote diversity in their workforce and the products they have sold.
Since then, many of these companies have been reversed and withdrawn from their diversity practices, a trend that this year under pressure from President Donald Trump, a Republican who tried to put federal money under pressure from schools and companies that have to support the federal money.
Now it is clear that the views as well as company guidelines change.
Claudine Brider, a 48-year-old black democrat in Compton, California, says that Dei’s concept made the workplace for black and women hard in a modern way.
“Whenever you are in a room that you are not expected from, to see like a black girl in a technical course … you are regarded as just there based on these factors,” said Brider. “Everything is negated when someone says:” You are only here to meet a quota. “
Reversation of the views of the racial discrimination
The survey showed that 45% of the US -growing people believe that Blacks are exposed to a high degree of discrimination compared to 60% in spring 2021. There was a similar decline in views on the prevalence of severe discrimination against Asian people, who carried out 45% in the 2021 survey a month after the Atlanta Spa shooting survey in Atlanta.
There is no question that the country has been withdrawn from its “so -called racist billing” and the experiences of certain groups such as Blacks are reduced, Phillipe Copeland, professor at Boston University School of Social Work.
However, the Americans’ views of discrimination have not changed when it comes to all groups. Almost half of US -growing, 44%, now say that Hispanic people are at least exposed to “quite a lot of discrimination”, and only 15% say this about white. Both numbers are similar when the question was last asked in April 2021.
Split over the effects of dei on black and Hispanic people
The survey shows that fewer than half of the Americans believe that Dei has an advantage for the people they should facilitate.
About 4 out of 10 US-growing people say that the discrimination of blacks reduces, while about a third says this about Hispanic people, women and Asian people. Many – between 33% and 41% – do not believe that Dei makes a difference. About a quarter of the US-growing people believe that dei actually increases the discrimination against these groups.
Black and Hispanic people are more likely than white people that the efforts of the DEI enhance that people like them enhance discrimination.
About 4 out of 10 black adults and about a third of the Hispanic adults say that the discrimination of blacks increases compared to a quarter of white adults. There is a similar split between white adults and black and Hispanic adults when evaluating the discrimination against Hispanic people.
Among the white people, it is mainly democrats who believe that the DEI efforts reduce the discrimination against black and Hispanoses. Only about a quarter of white independent and Republicans say the same.
Pete Parra, a 59-year-old inhabitant of Gilbert, Arizona, is of the opinion that DEI is now making things more hard for racist minorities. He is worried about how his two adult Hispanic sons are treated when they apply for work.
“I’m not automatically saying, just give it to my sons,” said Parra, who leans away from the Democratic Party. However, he is concerned that other factors can now be a priority than merits.
“If you go for something,” he said, “you won’t know (why).”
About 3 out of 10 say that the discrimination against the white increases
The survey shows that the Americans do not believe that white people are exposed to discrimination than in 2021. And more than half of the opinion that dei makes no difference when it comes to white people or men.
But an extensive minority – about 3 out of 10 US people – believe that the discrimination against whites increases. Even more white adults, 39%, keep this view compared to 21% of Hispanic adults and 13% of black adults.
The recent political focus on the idea has taken on the idea that white, due to its breed, the career and educational opportunities are more often overlooked.
John Bartus, a 66-year-old registered Republican in Twin Falls, Idaho, says that Dei “could have been a good thing for all breeds of people, but it seems as if it were far away.” It is his impression that the company forces companies to hire people on the basis of their race or if they identify themselves as LGBTQ+.
“The most qualified person should get a job based on their earnings or on their educational status,” said Bartus.
Brider, the inhabitant of Black California, rejects the idea that white people are exposed to the same discrimination as black people. But while she keeps the goals of Dei admirable, she also sees reality as incorrect.
“I think there has to be something that ensures that there is a good cross -section of people in the workplace,” said Brider. “I just don’t know what it would look like to be honest.”
