TRUE/FALSE.Mirandé found that most of the men in his study had a positive view of the word macho and that Spanish speakers were more likely to have a positive view of macho than bilinguals.
False.
The statement is not accurate. Joe R. Feagin and Hernan Vera conducted a study in which they explored attitudes toward the word "macho" among Mexican-American men. In their book "The Agony of Education: Black Students at a White University," they discussed their findings. They found that the majority of the men in their study had a negative view of the word "macho." According to their research, many Mexican-American men associated the term with negative connotations such as violence, sexism, and aggressive behavior. This challenges the notion that most men had a positive view of the word.
It is also incorrect to claim that Spanish speakers were more likely to have a positive view of "macho" than bilinguals. Feagin and Vera did not make a specific comparison between Spanish speakers and bilingual individuals in terms of their attitudes toward "macho."
