Ethnographic interviews

The research that we've looked at so far indicates that ethnographic interviews have very positive effects on students' attitudes towards native Spanish speakers. My question for you is "Do you think students will always end up with warm fuzzies towards Latinos as a result of these kind of activities?" If not, why not? How long lasting and or how deep of a change in attitudes do you think that students experience? What are some dangers in this kind of project? Do the positives outweigh the negatives?
I look forward to your comments.
