The National Conference of Christians and Jews commissioned pollster Louis Harris to conduct a nationwide survey to determine how America's most populous and fastest growing ethnic, racial, and religious groups perceive one another, the opportunities available to them, and the problems they share. In telephone interviews nearly 3,000 people were surveyed. The study showed that different minority groups harbor strong negative prejudices toward one another but are united in their bitter feelings toward whites and share a sense of collective discrimination. White Americans dispute the premises on which much of the bitterness is based: the conviction that minority groups do not get a fair chance to succeed. Some hopeful findings emerged. Despite the ugly stereotypes that mar the national landscape, overwhelming majorities of each group express a willingness to work with other groups to deal with pressing community issues like education, childcare, and violence. Most survey respondents endorse integration as a desirable goal, and many positive interactions are reported across intergroup boundaries. The challenge for America's leaders is to transform readiness to work together into action. Appendix A summarizes differences by region and by sex. Appendix B provides 18 tables and 19 graphs of supporting data. (SLD)
