Discrimination is a prominent and critically important matter in American life, with significant and harmful effects on health and well-being.
The largest poll of its kind conducted to date, “Discrimination in America” focuses on personal experiences with discrimination across more than a dozen areas of daily life.
Developed by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and National Public Radio (NPR), the findings reveal widespread experiences of discrimination across many groups in America, and the significantly different manifestations and experiences of discrimination across different groups.
Researchers interviewed 3,453 people, including African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, Native Americans, Whites, and LGBTQ adults, as well as men and women. People were asked whether they believe they have ever personally experienced various forms of both institutional and individual discrimination.

34% of LGBTQ Americans say they that they or a friend have been verbally harassed while using the restroom.
41% of women report being discriminated against in equal pay and promotion opportunities.

"Come on now—don't act like Sir Render!" Gavin said in his whiniest voice. "Like a knight who gives up so soon."
That hurt Teresa's feelings more than Gavin thought it would. To Gavin, harmless jokes were not serious. To Teresa, mean words were simply mean.
"I thought you would always have my back," Teresa spoke with tears in her eyes. "Why would you make fun of me when I need you the most?"
Gavin was alarmed and sat up straight on the couch. Surely it is not that serious, he thought. "Tell me why you are so upset about a little joke?" Gavin asked his little sister. He couldn't understand her reaction at all. But he felt sorry for her. In fact, he felt bad about all the times he teased Teresa. Gavin decided today was the day he would say sorry. Better late than never, he remembered his mother's words and spoke gently. "Listen, I am sorry. I forget that you don't like my teasing you. You know I am just playing with you. Tell me what the real problem is, my baby sister."
Teresa flung her arms and hugged her big brother. Then, she sobbed. Gavin patted his sister's back and held her without saying a word.
"So, what is it?" Gavin finally asked.
"The girls at the camp said mean things," Teresa said, "and I ran out before giving my presentation."
"Don't let them give you more reasons to be mean," Gavin advised. "I mean—if you run from your work, they will call you more names. Tomorrow, ask the teacher to let you give the presentation. Hang out with people who are nice to you. Ignore those fools!"
Teresa was surprised at how nice her brother was being. "Do you know you can give good advice?" She smiled.
"I guess I can if I try," Gavin said as he released his sister from his hug. "Don't get used to it."
