Most racist country
Don't shoot the messenger.
Survey reveals 'most racist' countries Survey reveals 'most racist' countries Alys Francis, ninemsn 2:37pm May 17, 2013 Australia is one of the least racist countries on Earth, according to a survey of global The World Values Survey of 80 countries found Australia ranked alongside New Zealand, Canada, the US, the UK, Sweden, Norway, Latvia and parts of Latin America as more racially tolerant than anywhere else in the world. The least racially tolerant countries were Hong Kong, Bangladesh, Jordan and India, reported the Washington Post, which compiled a data map of the figures. The survey, organised by Sweden-based World Values Survey Association and carried out by social scientists around the world, asked respondents to identify groups of people they would not want as neighbours, listing "people of a different race" as one of the options. In Australia five percent or less of respondents said they would not want to live next to somebody of another race. The study found the most intolerant nation was Hong Kong with 71.8 percent, followed closely by Bangladesh with 71.7 percent, Jordan with 51.4 percent and India with 43.5 percent. Results also showed low levels of tolerance in racially diverse Asian and Middle Eastern countries. "Nations such as Indonesia and the Philippines, where many racial groups often jockey for influence and have complicated histories with one another, showed more scepticism of diversity," the Post reported.

The survey isn't very valid actually.
It asked for who you would not want as a neighbour. It didn't ask things like 'have you ever felt racial prejudice' My personal experience tells me that racism in the US is far worse than in countries like the UK, Kenya, Namibia, Botswana, Namibia, Canada, Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica. In the US, it's far less visible, but far more reaching and far more invading. |
3 whole posts before slamming the US, c'mon fellas your slacking! :rolleyes:

These surveys are useless really, The sampling is unlikely to be wide enough, and then, who, in this day and age of PC is going to admit : "I don't want darkies as neighbours".
Indians, yes generally quite prejudiced but it's more classist and caste based than race, Africans the same. Japanese, want to keep themselves racially pure but tolerate foreigners. Nigeria comes up as pretty intolerant, I guess that's a bilateral ...... France too. |
I think black Africans are more racist than caucase...

Wrong
Obviously no HK Chinese or Mainlander participated in this survey. What a croc....:\

I just don't think the US is as racist as others make it out to be. At the risk of getting banished, has anyone taken a good look at some European countries? The rise of Golden Dawn political party in Greece is one good example. Their bullies are essentially beating up immigrants and minority tourists on the streets of Athens. That would never be tolerated in US this day n age.
