Daily Mail (UK) ^ | 11:48 EST, 16 May 2013 | Hugo Gye

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. …

A problem maybe with how "race" is translated into other languages and what the connotations are.

In some countries it may imply skin color, in others ethnic origins, language, and culture.

Also, some peoples may be more honest than others, or less afraid to express their opinions. And the data may be pretty spotty from some of those countries.

There really is such a thing as this. An old buddy of mine who's part Taiwanese, told me Taiwanese can be very racist.

China has akways been racist. They considered themselves the “middle kingdom” between heavan and earth. The only civilized people on earth. Everyone else were barbarians, little better than animals.

Hong Kong? When did Hong Kong become a country?

I would have thought Bosnia or Kosovo would be number one, followed by the other countries that made up what was once Yugoslavia.

It isn’t, especially when those doing the accomodating are being replaced by truly racist populations.

Only anectodal, of course, but personally, other than some blacks (Jesse, Al, and their ilk and followers), I have found Koreans to be the most racist.

I’m sure that there are lots of non-racist Koreans out there, so I am not trying to make a generalization. I’m just saying I haven’t personally met them yet, while I have met about a dozen that were.

Exactly. With political correctness so pervasive at every level of society, say the wrong thing and you’re toast.

It shows Hong Kong is the freest place where people can speak their mind without fear of backlash. Also, not wanting to live next to another race does not equate with a like or dislike of that race.

According to the current regime, that’s the case. Racism is only something those of European ancestry are even capable of, in their belief system. Anyone who has travelled, or lived in a city where Europeans aren’t the majority, know the reality.

This is not even remotely surprising. The notion that America is a racist country is simply a lie created by leftist to push their sick agenda.

Exactly

Whites will dismiss the obvious with now ingrained platitudes of sameness and oneness

An indulgence forced on folks with the threat of shame for the civilized

The uncivilized know all too well differences matter

Just ask a Tutsi or Timor Christian or West Bank Jew or white guy with flat tire in the Bronx end of Major Deegan if it matters

I wonder how many here really care about this

I for one think its fine to desire to be around your own group or a particular group that acts better in general

Only whites are required to feel like this

Everyone else is encouraged to have pride and self identification

Our forebears would find this insane

Even the most vaunted Yankee abolitionist rarely harbored such self destructive guilt and unreality about the obvious

This is simply a way to bring western civilization to bear.....and many collaborate

And unless checked....this will usher in yet another dark age

Peaks of civilization come and go and we are hellbent on the descent

The collective IQ of the west has declined hand in hand with the height mean

“Surprised by Hong Kong, it is a very international city.”


It’s called a country in the article——that says it all about this poll.
