Poll: One-Third Bugged By Spanish Speaking

Item: Spanish Spoken Here — and Two-thirds Don’t Mind: Fewer Admit Feeling Prejudice Toward Hispanics than Toward Arabs, Overweight People /ABC News “Good Morning America” Poll

More Info: Spanish speaking in the United States is widespread and accepted by most Americans. But a third who experience this language difference are troubled by it — and they have distinctly more negative attitudes about immigrants and Hispanics generally. Just 10 percent of Americans concede any personal prejudice against Hispanics — far fewer than the number who, in previous polls, have self-reported prejudice on the basis of race, against overweight people, or against Arabs and Muslims.

Question: How do you react when you hear someone speaking Spanish?
