Enlarge Racism: This map shows the nations of the world where people have the most and least tolerant attitudesThe data came from the World Value Survey, which measured the social attitudes of people in different countries, as reported by the Washington Post.The survey asked individuals what types of people they would refuse to live next to, and counted how many chose the option 'people of a different race' as a percentage for each country.Researchers have suggested that societies where more people do not want neighbours from other races can be considered less racially tolerant.RELATED ARTICLESPrevious1NextWhich is the world's most mobile country?

Racist views are strikingly rare in the U.S., according to the survey, which claims that only 3.8 per cent of residents are reluctant to have a neighbour of another race.Diverse: The multicultural U.S. is among the least racially intolerant countries, according to the dataOther English-speaking countries once part of the British Empire shared the same tolerant attitude - fewer than five per cent 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 practising an alternative religion - for example, fewer than two per cent of Britons would object to having neighbours of a different faith to them.Similarly, fewer than one in 20 people in most South American countries admitted harbouring 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 per cent of the French rejecting neighbourhood 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 LEAST RACIALLY TOLERANT COUNTRIES40% + (of individuals surveyed would not want a person of another race as a neighbour)India, Jordan30 - 39.9%Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Vietnam, Indonesia, South Korea20 - 39.9% France, Turkey, Bulgaria, Algeria, Morocco, Mali, Zambia, Thailand, Malaysia, The Philippines, Bangladesh, Hong KongTHE MOST TOLERANT COUNTRIES0 to 4.9%United States, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Guatemala, Britain, Sweden, Norway, Latvia, Australia, New Zealand5 - 9.9%Chile, Peru, Mexico, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Belarus, Croatia, Japan, Pakistan, South Africa10 - 14.9%Finland, Poland, Ukraine, Italy, Greece, Czech Republic, Slovakia15 - 19.9%Venezuela, Hungary, Serbia, Romania, Macedonia, Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Russia, ChinaSource: World Values SurveyRead more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2325502/Map-shows-worlds-racist-countries-answers-surprise-you.html#ixzz3bWoOVDMc Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter | DailyMail on Facebook 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SikhKhoj Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 People with racist views in India are not shamed, made to feel guilty as it is culturally acceptable, hence more people tell their real feelings. I am sure that there are more than 3% of people in the US that would'nt want to have a different race person living next to them but they just don't admit it because they're afraid to be openly racist because it is widely frowned upon in everyday life + media.But yes, no one is denying that India is a very racist country. The caste system in my opinion is also racism because many castes have differing origins, then you got the so called Aryan-Dravidian divide etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
