Experiences with discrimination more common for Hispanics with darker skin % of Hispanics who say they have personally experienced discrimination or been treated unfairly because of their race or ethnicity
About two-thirds of Hispanics with darker skin colors (64%) report they have experienced discrimination or been treated unfairly regularly or from time to time, compared with half of those with a lighter skin tone. These differences in experiences with discrimination hold even after controlling for characteristics such as gender, age, education and whether they were born in the U.S. or abroad.
