Abstract

The Puerto Rican people constitute the newest migrant group in the City of New York. History shows that the group which migrates into a new country is usually the object of prejudices. A prejudice is but a pre-judgment of a person or group, based usually on preconceived ideas. The prejudiced person is not able to look upon a problem with sympathy and understanding. His reaction is influenced by his attitude. Problems which are based on attitudes and prejudices will never be solved, unless the attitudes themselves are changed.
