This notion is borne out in the survey results.

When one is unaccustomed to seeing or interacting with people of different races, it is often more difficult to integrate with someone of a different nationality or ethnicity. This detail is considered to be a major contributing factor to racism in India. As a result, most of its people are of Indian descent themselves. India has little immigration and few international residents. According to the surveys, the country's residents display considerable intolerance for people with darker skin, whether they are of foreign descent (particularly African) or simply darker-skinned Indians. Located in southern Asia, India is the second-most-populous country on Earth, with roughly 1.3 billion people. India ranks as the most racist of the countries included in the study. Most Racist Countries in the World (WaPo and BT results combined)*: In this format, India emerged as the most racist country surveyed, followed by Lebanon, Bahrain, Libya, and Egypt. Though neither study is generally considered definitive on its own-especially given a relatively small sampling of only 61 of the globe's 200+ countries-when merged, they can give a better impression of the prevalence of racism. The second project was a 2016 survey by Business Tech, which questioned if people had ever witnessed or personally experienced racism.

The main question posed to each participant was whether they would be comfortable living near neighbors of a different race. The first was a Washington Post survey from 2013. Two different and independent racism studies conducted in recent years surveyed a combined 85,000 people from 61 countries and achieved results that were different from the BCR2020, but parallel to one another. Study Two: Washington Post (2013) and Business Tech (2016) studies The next section will explain why this is an important factor. It's relevant to note that many of these countries have a large percentage of native-born residents and relatively few immigrants and international residents. The final rankings are as follows: Worst Countries for Racial Equality: This is relevant because racism is a root cause of poor racial equality. News and World Report, BAV Group, and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, added questions about racial equality in 2020. The annual Best Countries Report, a 78-country survey carried out by the U.S. All of which is to say: Determining the most racist countries in the world is a daunting task, and the results might be inconsistent from one study to the next.Ĭase in point: Study One: Best Countries Report 2020 As a result, researchers typically turn to more grass-roots methods, such as personal surveys-and although racism may not seem like a very complex trait, it can be quite challenging to determine if a person is racist or not based on a simple questionnaire.
