(Jewish Group) What do Hispanic Americans think of Jews? A new survey takes a look
Young Hispanics don’t see Jews as an oppressed minority but, at the same time, don’t hold a negative perception of the Jewish people, according to a report issued by the American Jewish Committee.
The report was not based on widespread polling but rather on in-depth interviews with 125 Hispanics between the ages of 18 and 40, all based in five major American cities. Its purpose was to find way to bind the two communities together, said Dina Siegel Vann, director of AJC’s Arthur and Rochelle Belfer Institute for Latino and Latin American Affairs. Hispanics are the fastest-growing and also youngest minority group in the country, and all the people interviewed for the report were identified as “emerging leaders” within the community.
The changing demographics of the U.S. Hispanic community led the AJC to “try to find a way to engage with them, and to really find common ground and a way of advocating together on issues that are important to both communities,” said Siegel Vann.
Siegel Vann acknowledged that the report does not reflect the Hispanic community as a whole, but rather offers an “X-ray” of a “very specific segment of the Latino population, which is first of all leaders. We’re talking about academic leaders. We’re talking about political leaders. We’re talking about business leaders.”

This is not out of the blue, IMO. Frankly, this is how many "progressives" view Jews too; not a real minority, other than in numbers.
