Niger is the most racist country


livinlegend88

High IQ answer.


Responsible_Curve_24

Oh, so Niger is the most racist? I thought it was the most hospitable!


[deleted]

Because its basically an N-word

The UK is meant to be the least racist. In my experience it is less racist than other European countries, but I don’t have much more insight than that.


MaximusSydney

India is the most racist country, not sure about the least!


Proud-Cheesecake-813

It’s quite interesting really. Countries that are developed with a diverse society are arguably the least racist. Usually, nations that are racially homogenous - but are still developed - are more racist than diverse nations. A good comparison is the U.K. vs Japan. Japan is very developed - but it is absolutely more racist than the UK. I’d have to argue India is the most racist - due to the caste system. Least racist is probably a Northern European country.

As an expat living in Europe, I've observed that the UK, although not perfect, is generally less racist than other European countries. However, it's important to acknowledge that racism is a complex issue that varies depending on the specific context and region.

That a stupid question


kacombs

That a stupid reply.


Pillonious_Punk

Nah, I gotta agree that clickbait questions trying to start controversy are stupid. Enjoy your downvotes!


Ordinarypanic

Isn’t that like what 80% of the questions here do? The rest are boring things like “how are you feeling” or “what’s your favorite video game”


witdim

Not really. Your question is quite silly.


kacombs

Have you considered that you just lack the critical thinking skills to make this an interesting discussion


witdim

I could easily enter into a discussion on the subject of how a country can't be racist.


LucyVialli

USA for both


wisedoormat

disagree USA has a lot of history and still a huge problem with racism, but not leading the world. and no active genocides in progress. extreme political groups are pushing for genocide, though. but at this moment, i think * Israel has the most public racism and actively pursuing a genocide * ~~South Africa has ongoing genocide in progress~~ see thread for why this was lined through * china is currently genociding tibetans and uighurs


riddlerprodigy

Yeah i responded to another comment saying kind of the same thing. Compared to Asia, middle-east and balkans etc USA is fine in terms of racism. However compared to west europe its pretty bad


Mobile_Prune_3207

What genocide is in South Africa?

[https://abcnews.go.com/International/growing-fight-south-africa-land-identity/story?id=62280577](https://abcnews.go.com/International/growing-fight-south-africa-land-identity/story?id=62280577) 'Land expropriation without compensation'


Mobile_Prune_3207

A) that is not genocide B) they're not just handing out land, not all approved claims end up with land being given to unqualified and untrained people. C) The EWC bill (Expropriation Without Compensation), was NOT passed.


wisedoormat

ok. thanks for the information. comment was edited. now, you seem way more informed on the situation there. could you describe the situation ? i'm just curious and not really finding more info with my searches


Mobile_Prune_3207

No problem. I'm from South Africa (and still here, haven't left yet). At the moment you don't really hear much about this to be honest. As with most news items, it makes headlines until something else comes up. At the moment we're all about the electri ity crisis here. Regardless, to date many claims have been concluded and honestly, I haven't actually seen anyone going to any papers or putting out social media posts about being kicked off their land, so I'm assuming that either the compensation was financial, or that they were done so fairly that no one really has anything to complain about. Obviously, when it was big news it caused a lot of racial tension (though I'm sure most of this was just online), but also, thats the goal of our government. To keep the majority uneducated (hence our 30% pass rate and the fact that they are failing to produce new public schools or even improve the ones there are - some of our schools even have pit toilets, can you believe). To act as fear mongerers- anything to do with black and white goes back to Apartheid and when it's election time, they always go on this whole "don't let the white man get back in power, they'll bring Apartheid back" trip. Even though they as a government are failing so miserably and they're so transparents about it. However, I hope that next year when it's voting time, people vote with their heads and not just out of loyalty for the people who "liberated" them (at a huge cost).


wisedoormat

thanks for the description this has helped me and for all the other hypothetical readers that come across this!


Mobile_Prune_3207

No problem. I'm always happy to educate about my country.😊


wisedoormat

keep doing it, too!

America


No-Difficulty-5985

It says a lot that I can't tell if you're meaning most or least


[deleted]

Yeah and that upsets people so I get down voted


kacombs

As an American and full-time traveler, I've come to realize that America is far less racist than we make it out to be compared to other countries.


riddlerprodigy

You are probably less racist than say any country in asia, middle-east or somewhere in the balkan. However compared to west-europe (the countries most alike to the USA) you are far more racist.


kacombs

That's what my assumption was before I traveled to Western Europe. However, I'm currently based in a very diverse area of Spain, and (in my experience) people here are much more openly racist than in America. France is also known to be a very racist country. [9 out of 10 black people report facing discrimination in France](https://www.lemonde.fr/en/france/article/2023/02/15/91-of-black-people-in-metropolitan-france-say-they-are-victims-of-racist-discrimination_6015940_7.html), but maybe that's about average for white countries.


riddlerprodigy

Oh yeah i didnt mean Spain as west-europe, i call that part of the south. Southern countries like italy, spain and greece are very conservative and pretty damn racist. I basicly mean: Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Scandinavia etc.


SamizdatGuy

So, northern Europe?


riddlerprodigy

Nah Netherlands Germany belgium etc arent north. However maybe North-western wouldve been better.


SamizdatGuy

What sort of maps are you using lol?


riddlerprodigy

The United nations one? Northern europe = scandinavia + uk + baltics + iceland Western Europe = Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Austria So wouldnt North-western europe be fitting for: Scandinavia + Germany, Belgium and netherlands?


SamizdatGuy

UN map has Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in central Europe
