Latinos' views on the importance of Spanish and how it relates to their identity is the topic of a new Pew Research Center report.
Young Latinos who've been pushing back against being shamed for not speaking Spanish are not alone, according to a new survey.at themselves after being told they should speak better Spanish, a little over half of Latinos who speak very little or no Spanish have been made to feel bad because of it, according to a Pew Research Center report published Wednesday.
The report, however, points to"an interesting tension I think is striking," co-author Mark Hugo Lopez, Pew's director of race and ethnicity research, told NBC News. The widely shared view that Spanish is not synonymous with Latino identity could be reflecting changing demographics, Lopez said, as the number of third-generation Latinos grows andThree-quarters of all U.S. Latinos say they’re able to"carry on a conversation in Spanish pretty well or very well," the report said.
More Latinos from Central America think it’s important that future generations are able to speak Spanish, compared to other groups like South Americans , Mexicans , Cubans and Puerto Ricans .
