EthanandMom Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 why they constantly ask if you are latino.hispanic? I am not, but in one recent survey I was asked 3 different times, yes 3, in the SAME survey, what race I am. I have a DIL that is latino, and I'm seriously thinking she needs to do these surveys! I just wondered if anyone knew why they constantly ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurkergirl Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Good question they are always asking me also and no I am not either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobo49 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 "Hello" the Mexican American/ Latino population is 50 million strong, they will be the majority in the future. It's about time marketing companies have started to recognize them and are asking for their opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Why do they specifically isolate the question though? I HATE that. I feel like they're going to discriminate if I answer yes. They have before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthanandMom Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Why do they specifically isolate the question though? I HATE that. I feel like they're going to discriminate if I answer yes. They have before. That was my point. If they want this test group, fine, 50 million strong isn't the issue. The issue is, on some surveys, they ask repeatedly, specifically, if I am Latino or Hispanic. I have not been bumped on by clicking "white/caucasion" but I don't find the need to ask race repeatedly in the SAME survey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QWERTY Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 why they constantly ask if you are latino.hispanic? I am not, but in one recent survey I was asked 3 different times, yes 3, in the SAME survey, what race I am. I have a DIL that is latino, and I'm seriously thinking she needs to do these surveys! I just wondered if anyone knew why they constantly ask? I can only guess but then I'd be wasting my time. If you let things like this concern you you're going to have a frustrating experience in the survey world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeekers Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I agree with Qwerty. I've had to answer it numerous times in some surveys too. Makes me kind of laugh in a way, because it reminds me of those pschological/personality tests where you're asked the same question several times only the question is phrased differently. Goes to show that greeneyeddevils was right.....bunch of high school drop-outs are propably creating the surveys. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 I have also been experiencing this also, it does get sickening so now I just click the prefer not to answer and then click my race on the next page. Then I make sure add at the end of the survey where they ask how enjoyable this survey was that I am not happy with the repeat question against me and I consider it racism against my race, then I tell them I am very unhappy with the racist acts of their surveys and their panel and then advise them to end discrimination and racism.
