Although discrimination nowadays for the most part is not as blatant as in the past it is still a social ill that occurs. Unfortunately, latinos may still face hurdles when it comes to finding housing simply due to the sound of their voice. According to an audit by a housing rights group, Fair Housing of Marin:

“rental seekers with an identifiable Latino voice will face discrimination or disparate treatment in Napa County 70 percent of the time.”

I wonder what the rate is across the state of California? Perhaps this is one of the reasons why many cities are essentially segregated.
