ABSTRACT Does seeing Spanish-language news in the media change the racial and political attitudes of Whites and Spanish-speaking Latinos? We examine the effects of Spanish-language media on White and Spanish-speaking Latino attitudes using online survey experiments in English and Spanish, respectively. We expect White Americans to react to Spanish-language media options by developing more hostile attitudes toward Hispanics, and Spanish-speaking Latino audiences to feel a greater sense of belonging in America when they see Spanish represented in the media. We find that seeing articles about non-immigration politics in Spanish, as an option next to English articles, significantly raises racial resentment toward Hispanics among Whites. Among Spanish-speaking Latinos, seeing a political news article option in Spanish increases feelings of inclusion and belonging, even when it is not about a racialized issue like immigration. Such evidence suggests that language alone may prime identity and shape political attitudes for White and Spanish-speaking Latino voters.

看西班牙语：基于语言的媒体选择对怨恨和归属感的影响

摘要 在媒体上看到西班牙语新闻会改变白人和说西班牙语的拉丁裔人的种族和政治态度吗？我们分别使用英语和西班牙语的在线调查实验来研究西班牙语媒体对白人和说西班牙语的拉丁裔态度的影响。我们希望美国白人对西班牙语媒体的选择做出反应，对西班牙裔美国人采取更加敌对的态度，而说西班牙语的拉丁裔观众在看到媒体上有西班牙语代表时，会在美国感受到更大的归属感。我们发现，在英语文章旁边看到关于非移民政治的西班牙语文章，会显着提高白人对西班牙裔的种族仇恨。在讲西班牙语的拉丁裔中，看到西班牙语的政治新闻文章选项会增加包容和归属感，即使它不是关于像移民这样的种族问题。这样的证据表明，语言本身就可能成为白人和讲西班牙语的拉丁裔选民的身份认同和政治态度的主要因素。
