Though there is research regarding the political speech and rhetoric of minority politicians, activists, and other elites, there is little on the everyday, casual political discourse of minorities in the United States. More specifically, there is none on Latinx political dialog amongst social groups. In this paper, I ask whether Latinxs are more, or less, prone to political conversations in different social contexts than non-Latinx Whites. I find evidence that Latinxs are less likely to discuss politics with family, friends, and coworkers. These findings are important when considering explanations for various political behaviors and political affect amongst Latinxs.

尽管有关于少数族裔政治家、活动家和其他精英的政治言论和言论的研究，但很少有关于美国少数族裔日常、随意的政治话语的研究。更具体地说，没有关于拉丁裔社会团体之间的政治对话。在这篇论文中，我问拉丁裔是否比非拉丁裔白人更倾向于在不同的社会背景下进行政治对话。我发现有证据表明拉丁裔不太可能与家人、朋友和同事讨论政治。在考虑对拉丁裔中各种政治行为和政治影响的解释时，这些发现很重要。
