NEW YORK — A new survey released by the National Conference for community and Justice (NCCJ) shows a “disturbing pattern” of discrimination in America and a lack of familiarity with different religious groups.
The nationwide poll found that 42 percent of blacks said they experienced at least one episode of discrimination and 12 percent said they had two or more such experiences in the month before they were surveyed. Thirty-one percent of Asians said they suffered individual unfair treatment and discrimination. Sixteen percent of Hispanics and 13 percent of whites also reported at least one occurrence of discrimination during the prior month.
The survey was conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates for the NCCJ. A total of 2,584 people were interviewed by telephone from Jan. 20 through March 19. The survey has a margin of error of about plus or minus 4 percentage points.
