Black and Latino residents feel gloomier about reaching certain livability standards on Long Island than white residents, according to a Newsday/Siena Research Institute survey, and those stark differences reflect disparities experienced by many residents of color, experts said.
For example, 66% of Black and 68% of Latino respondents agree that minorities in their communities are likely to experience racial or ethnic discrimination. Meanwhile only 40% of white respondents believe those communities experience discrimination. A majority of Black and Latino respondents also feel government is not responsive to their needs.
