And while a majority values workplace diversity, few endorse the idea of taking race or ethnicity into consideration in hiring and promotions, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.
When it comes to diversity in the communities where they live, most U. But black Americans place more value than whites and Hispanics on workplace diversity and school integration. Opinions on these issues also vary considerably along party lines, with Democrats and those who lean to the Democratic Party more likely than Republicans and Republican leaners to express positive views of the importance and impact of racial and ethnic diversity.
This is the case even after taking into account the differences in the racial composition of the two parties. This survey includes an oversample of Asian respondents, for a total sample size of Asians. The sample includes English-speaking Asians only and, therefore, may not be representative of the overall U. Asian adult population overall. Despite this limitation, it is important to report the views of Asians on race relations and racial inequality, as well as their personal experiences with racial discrimination, as the U.
Asian population is growing faster than any other major racial or ethnic group. Measuring the attitudes of Asians on these topics is an important piece in understanding the state of race in America today.
Asians are shown as a separate group when a question was asked of the full sample. We are also not able to analyze Asian respondents by demographic categories, such as gender, age or education. The link between education and views of diversity is less clear among Hispanics. It is also worth noting that when white-resident neighborhoods saw a decrease in their white population shares, it was less likely due to an increase in Black residents and more likely from an increase in Latinos or Hispanics, Asians Americans, and persons of two or more races.
Hence, areas where white neighborhoods became more diverse tended to be those with substantial metropolitan-wide gains in their Latino or Hispanic and Asian American populations, such as Miami, San Jose, Calif. In the case of Black residents, two items should be stressed. First, the Black share of the overall population in the largest metropolitan areas is similar in both and from to Second, the Black share of average Black-resident neighborhood, while higher than the metropolitan Black share, decreased between and to The increase in the white share of these neighborhoods, however, is minimal.
This picture is also replicated in a large number of metropolitan areas with populations over 1 million Download Table B. In each of these 53 areas, the Black share of populations in Black-resident neighborhoods declined since In more than half, the white population share in Black-resident neighborhoods also declined.
This means that Latinos or Hispanics, Asians Americans, and persons of two or more races are responsible the increased diversity in Black-resident neighborhoods.
Yet even as diversity increases in Black-resident neighborhoods, the Black shares of their populations are larger—generally much larger—than Black shares of the metropolitan population.
This is illustrated for selected metropolitan areas in Figure 3. The biggest disparities in Black representation between Black-resident neighborhoods and their metropolitan areas tend to be in older metro areas with stagnating Black populations, including Chicago, Detroit, and Philadelphia. Smaller, though still large, disparities are evident in areas with recently rapid-growing Black populations such as Houston, Atlanta, and Charlotte, N.
The Latino or Hispanic share of the population increased in most metropolitan areas since , and in most Latino or Hispanic-resident neighborhoods. And in those neighborhoods, the rise in the Latino or Hispanic share of the population is mostly accompanied by a decline in the white share of the population.
Within racial and ethnic groups, experiences differ significantly by gender. Among blacks and Hispanics, larger shares of men than women say they have been unfairly stopped by police, been subject to slurs or jokes, or that people have acted as if they were suspicious of them because of their race or ethnicity.
Hispanic men are also more likely than Hispanic women to say they have been treated unfairly in employment situations. Blacks with at least some college experience are more likely than those with less education to say they have faced certain situations because of their race. Many of these experiences are also more common among Hispanics who were born in the U.
Black men and women, as well as blacks across age groups, are about equally likely to say their family talked to them about challenges they might face because of their race or ethnicity. Among blacks and whites, those younger than 30 see their race as less central to their identity than their older counterparts.
Still, majorities of blacks — and relatively small shares of whites across age groups — say their race is extremely or very important to how they think about themselves. The results of these shifts are depicted in Map 5, which displays the metropolitan areas with the largest black populations along with levels of growth.
Atlanta is one of the top metro areas for black population growth, along with its southern counterparts San Antonio, Dallas, Austin, Orlando, Fla. Yet these gains are not confined exclusively to the South: western metro areas such as Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Seattle show substantial growth in their black populations, as does Minneapolis. At the same time, many former destinations for black migrants—including Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Los Angeles, and San Francisco—registered losses in their black populations.
And areas with declining white populations are not likely to grow them by way of white immigration from abroad or white natural increase the excess of births over deaths. Since , 45 of these areas sustained white population losses. These include relatively pricey areas such as New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, but also areas that are less economically vibrant, especially since the Great Recession of Many of these are located in the industrial Midwest.
But they are also prevalent in interior California, the Southeast, and New England. Not all areas that are losing white residents showed total population declines since In 36 of the 45 areas, the combined gains of racial minority populations more than made up for white population losses.
Metro areas with increasing white populations are most prevalent in the Sun Belt region, especially Texas, the Southeast, and the Mountain West.
This reflects similar migration patterns for racial minority groups; Phoenix, Denver, Dallas, Austin, and Nashville, Tenn. The kaleidoscopic patterns revealed by the latest U. Interactive by Alec Friedhoff.
