I was kind of hoping he'd get beaten to a pulp because I don't like him anyways.

Literally 90% of straight white guys use that word over here.

For most it's for the same reasons as the estonian rapper.

Europeans racist? Shocking...

did you read this at all or...

anyway its kinda understandable why Russia is so behind, they've been closed off for so long and haven't been exposed to minorities (this is why homophobia is more prevalent there too)

hopefully things improve over there

Surveys Gone Bad - When "Yes" means "No"

Yesterday, the Washington Post put out a story, A fascinating map of the world’s most and least racially tolerant countries. In that map, India and Bangladesh stuck out like a baboon’s butt as bastions of intolerance in the world. It’s reproduced below; red implies that more people said they “would not want neighbors of a different race”.

In fact, the percentages are more than a little damning:

“India, Jordan, Bangladesh and Hong Kong by far the least tolerant. In only three of 81 surveyed countries, more than 40 percent of respondents said they would not want a neighbor of a different race. This included 43.5 percent of Indians, 51.4 percent of Jordanians and an astonishingly high 71.8 percent of Hong Kongers and 71.7 percent of Bangladeshis.”

Thanks to the fact that both Max Fisher of WaPo and World Values Survey folks freely shared their sources, we can take a dive into the data that generated the map to explore thought #3 to our heart’s content.

The short answer is, yes, someone did fat finger this big time. “Yes” and “No” got swapped in the second round of the survey, which means that 28.3% of Bangladeshis said they wouldn’t want neighbors of a different race – not 71.7%.

It's a transcontinental country but sometimes our knowledge of this is reflective of what we learnt in school.

I always laugh when people say "Australia!111" for example, since Australia is one of the most multicultural accepting countries (except the Government when it comes to Asylum Seekers ugh).

But if you go into any University in Australia, there are people from all parts of the world in there all getting along, and we have one of the lowest violent crime rates in the world. I just don't understand where that comes from.

Also people say the UK, but from what I've heard it's minorities. The UK also seem very accepting of Gay's as well.

The US sounds like it would be on here, but again, the news loves to report anything to do with "Racial" issues, when they make up a very small percentage of what's actually happening.

Australia is amazing but come on, the country treats the natives of our land as less than nothing

Then turns around and blames the Indigenous for their own actions

It's helping my country defeat ISIS.

The last thing I can care about is racism and homophobia, even as a gay person of color.
