Poll: Relations Between Minorities Tense, But Core Values Shared - washingtonpost.com

Poll: Relations Between Minorities Tense, But Core Values Shared - washingtonpost.com Relations among African Americans, Hispanics and Asian Americans are fraught with tension and negative stereotypes, but all three groups share core values and a desire to get along better with each other, according to a poll released in Washington today by the nonprofit group New America Media.

The survey found that many members of all three groups felt 'more comfortable' doing business with whites than with each other, and that an overwhelming majority of each group viewed racial tension as a 'very important problem' for the United States.
