A fascinating map of the world’s most and least racially tolerant countries
- Ihmahr 13y agoNotice how most "racist" countries have different races/groups internally.
- cpncrunch 13y agoNot necessarily. Canada is racially diverse but is also very tolerant. It seems to be more about the values of the country itself. From my own experience, Canada is pretty much the only country that I would say is racially diverse and tolerant. The USA, Australia, UK (and much of Europe) still have major problems with racism. My wife and her family (Filipino) weren't allowed to stay in the "white" motel 20 years ago somewhere in Alabama or thereabouts. They ended up at the "black" motel (which was actually nicer, and had more expensive cars outside). So much for their fucked-up redneck notions of white supremacy. From what I hear things have improved somewhat, but there is still a lot of racism in the south.

- cafard 13y agoAnecdotal evidence--which seems to me quite in the spirit of the item. Umpty-bump years ago, I worked on a crew that mostly Anglo (as they say in the US west/southwest), with one Black guy. In the latter's presence, one of my fellow Anglos, after a beer or two was big on racial brotherhood and how we can all drink or get high together. Not long after we drove past a small onion field with a Chicano crew harvesting it, and Mr. Brotherhood said "I don't care what you say, that isn't white man's work." If not before that, certainly since, I've taken expressions of good will pretty lightly. [edit: capitalized "Black" since "Anglo" was.]
- bsaul 13y agoit would be interesting to have a map of countries showing the % of people actually HAVING neighbours of different races. then you would be able to see if what they answered was based on experience or theory.
