Blacks suffer from a tough stereotype as do gays. I'm going to say Blacks and Gays have it the hardest to be accepted.

I would go with the same. No way should illegal aliens be accepted anyway if the poll is about those here legally of any of those groups.

I have absolutely no problem accepting immigrants if they are LEGAL and come here the right way, like my parents.

If someone is ILLEGAL, I will NEVER accept them as an equal or as a fellow American, even if they are given amnesty by the liberals and Democrats.

Gays and it is no contest.

Being black doesn't make me an outcast at all. I just have to be more careful around cops.

I think rednecks should have been added to the poll as well...NOBODY but another redneck accepts or likes us and if there is alcohol involved,racing or competitive fishing then we do not even like each other.

Blacks, by a significant margin.

I just finished working on a voter outreach campaign. Was driving a van around dropping off and picking up people who were doing door to door canvassing. Had a crew of twelve people, two of whom were black, one of whom was flamboyantly gay, and one of whom was an immigrant. The police were called on my guys 6 times in three weeks. All six times it was the black canvassers who had had the police called on them. Not blaming the police, they were just doing their job and would leave us alone once they realized we were just doing political canvassing. But the entire situation is worth pointing out nonetheless. No one else had the police called on them, just the two black guys. Their only crime being black.

Define "society." We voted twice to elect a black President so I think blacks no longer have the crown as most difficult to be accepted by society. Immigrants are largely accepted in USA society but people often object to the illegal immigrants as law breakers. Gays are accepted in large areas of society but I think probably have a harder time in some areas of society than the other 2.

I think it depends on the area of the country.

I would also add women to the groups. They are often"accepted" conditionally.

Blacks easily. Slavery never really ended in some places. It
simply changed hands.
