USA among least racist countries, per World Value Survey

Map shows world's 'most racist' countries (and the answers may surprise you)

  • Hong Kong, Bangladesh, Jordan and India named least tolerant countries
  • U.S., Britain, Canada and South America are among the least racist
  • Survey asks people if they would want neighbors of a different race

By Hugo Gye
Published: 07:49 EST, 16 May 2013 | Updated: 11:48 EST, 16 May 2013
An international poll has revealed the world's least tolerant countries — with Hong Kong at the top of the list and Britain near the bottom.

The global social attitudes study claims that the most racially intolerant populations are all in the developing world, with Bangladesh, Jordan and India in the top five.

By contrast, the study of 80 countries over three decades found Western countries were most accepting of other cultures with Britain, the U.S., Canada and Australia more tolerant than anywhere else.

The data come from the World Value Survey, which has long been measuring the social attitudes of people in different countries, as reported by the Washington Post.

The survey asked people what types of people they would refuse to live next to, and counted how many people chose the option 'people of a different race'.

Researchers have suggested that societies where more people do not want neighbors from other races can be considered less racially tolerant.

The country with the highest proportion of 'intolerant' people who wanted neighbors similar to them was Hong Kong, where 71.8 percent of the population would refuse to live next to someone of a different race.

Next were Bangladesh at 71.7 percent, Jordan at 51.4 percent and India with 43.5 percent.

Racist views are strikingly rare in the U.S., according to the survey, which claims that only 3.8 percent of residents are reluctant to have a neighbor of another race.

Other English-speaking countries once part of the British Empire shared the same tolerant attitude — fewer than five percent of Britons, Canadians, Australians and New Zealanders showed signs of racism.

People in the UK are also tolerant of other differences such as speaking a foreign language or practicing an alternative religion — for example, fewer than two percent of Britons would object to having neighbors of a different faith to them.

Similarly, fewer than one in 20 people in most South American countries admitted harboring prejudice against other races.

The Middle East, which is currently dealing with large numbers of low-skilled immigrants from south Asia, seems to be a hotbed of racial tension, however.

Europe is remarkably split — the west of the continent is generally more tolerant than the east, but France is a striking outlier with 22.7 percent of the French rejecting neighborhood diversity.

Some have pointed out problems in the survey data, claiming that because the polls span a long period of time they are an unreliable guide to current attitudes.

However, a more serious flaw could be the fact that in most Western countries racism is so taboo than many people will hide their intolerant views and lie to the questioners.

Max Fisher of the Washington Post suggested that maybe 'Americans are conditioned by their education and media to keep these sorts of racial preferences private, i.e. to lie about them on surveys, in a way that Indians might not be'.

The President clearly won election 2 times. Can't say that for the one before. GW bush is the ONLY alleged President we have ever had. He must have hated America, or at least Americans, he saw that almost 10,000 came to an unnatural end during his regime.

I'm guessing that there are huge flaws in the polling because I know for a fact that in many other countries they don't have the same concept of "race" that we have here. And even here the concept is all screwy.

But I can see Hong Kong being near the top. I read on another forum that in Hong Kong (or Beijing..or somewhere over there) that if a black person gets on a bus that many of the Chinese people will immediately leave.

For everyone's amusement, Teliscle's Devium to Fudd's Theorem ... "It goes in, it must come out" (Note: Fudd's Theorem: "If you push something hard enough, it will fall over" just like republican "facts")

What European country is the most arrogant?

The French are the most arrogant people on the planet, right? Just look at this totally non-fake example of an actual Parisian.

That's the stereotype anyway, but now Pew Research has actually released polling data on stereotyping within the European Union — and it’s interesting.

According to Pew, the French even think they are the most arrogant. Italy, Spain and Greece, however, all think it’s the Germans. (They probably shouldn't say this out loud since the German public pretty much owns Southern Europe through bailouts)

Other interesting findings:

Italy thinks that Italy is the least trustworthy, which would be obvious if you’ve ever hung out at my bocce club.

Half of Poland doesn’t trust Germany (maybe the other half was born after 1945).

Everybody else trusts the Germans most, except the Greeks, who think the Germans also the least compassionate.

Here’s the rest:

It's interesting how each country sees itself as the most compassionate.

OTOH that poll shows that the Italians are the most honest.

They gave somebody other than themselves the title of "least arrogant" (the only country to do so) and gave themselves the title of "least trustworthy" (the only country to do so).

That's honesty.

thats the problem right there..

PERCEPTION is an emotional conduit to your mind's reality.
what is reality?
is What You see..the same as i see it?

is a persons skin color the end all to be all?

are we nothing more than superficial shallow shells of flesh?

of course we are...but that doesn't stop us from trying to be better.

be better than shallow..just be better.
