Unprecedented, In-Depth Research Examines Attitudes of Everyday African American Consumers This marketing study was done on middle and upper class individuals.
What do you think about these results?:
* As many as 63 percent of African Americans are open to other
cultures, and enjoy experiencing foreign customs as they relate to
food, fashion and music, but those experiences do not change who they
are when they are at home. 87 percent of those surveyed are actively
attached to African American culture, and make an effort to balance
their cultural interests with their own cultural identity.
* African Americans still openly and freely share accounts of occasions
in which they needed to act differently among people of other
cultures due to fear of judgment, the lessons of history and their
desire to succeed, with 36 percent admitting that they experience
this cultural suppression often. This includes situations at work and
school, as well as in social settings.
