Document Summary

Latinas are sometimes targeted by sexual harassment, similar to the radicalized sexual harassment that occurs against black women. Hispanic women like other minority women face barriers based on race and sex stereotyping and discrimination. Early on, mexicans were classified as white for census purposes, yet they were sometimes barred from restaurants and other businesses and even murdered (lynched). Mexicans, either legal immigrants or citizens, were repatriated during the depression in an effort to free up jobs. Mexicans that came back to the us did not pass their language on to their offspring. Us also experienced residential segregation and segregation in the public accommodations and businesses. Mexicans served in the wwii and the ones killed were refused burial in a white cemetery. Ricans face social, cultural, economic, and political barriers to inclusion that are similar to those experienced by other hispanic immigrants. The average education and occupational attainment levels of puerto rican are low and they have high rates of unemployment.
