Indians are racist for sure but most racist? I doubt that.
1. Politically incorrect: Your average Indian is not aware of political correctness. I have seen Indians call black people n**ro (not n***er) . Their intention is not always racist but they just don't know the negative canonation associated with these words. Or that saying words such as these is uncool.
2. Preferance to be with people of same lifestyle: In India, most housing areas consist of people having similar lifestyles. And sadly, someone having different lifestyle than that isn't preferred. For example, in a housing area which consists mostly of vegetarians, a non-vegetarian isn't really welcome, citing reason that "the smell of meat and seafood cooking is too strong". Many housing areas do not rent house to bachelors because bachelors have a different lifestyle which, they think would create nuisance for other people in the area. And due to point 1, they aren't aware that such thinking is in fact wrong.
3. Only two questions cannot be absolute measure of a country's racial tolerance or tolerance for others
4. Pakistan is apparently in less racist countries. Well good for them but their religious minority is declining (from 10% to 3%) whereas in India religious minority % is big. Same may be said about Lebanon for they also have a big % of religious minority. That goes to prove my point 3 which is, a community may be tolerant in one area but that is not necessarily measure of their general tolerance.
Obviously not all but mostly they are very racist. How do you expect people of a country to not be racist to others when they discriminate among themselves for caste group? They discriminate among themselves a lot. See the social media, how hateful words Indians say to Pakistanis and Bangladeshis, acting like they own us and we're their slaves.
They mock their own dark skinned girls calling them n**, showing both colorism and racism at the same time. Look at Indian boys constantly calling Bangladeshi girls prostitutes, while in reality our rape rates are far more less and women's contribution to the economy is much higher. Indians are too arrogant and greatly lack respect of other people.
They purposely build dams and sign projects that promise to harm our economy so that we gave to import for them.
I don't hate all Indian people because many people are actually sweet, but I definitely feel like their politics, media and society are pretty fucked up.
I doubt that. That study didn't specify the demographics of its respondents.
Furthermore, preference and racism aren't synonymous. Racism reeks out of intolerance of diversity while preference is merely favoring a certain race without inducing harm among others.
As for the Indians, I think this is more of preference than racism. Last time I checked, Indians are one of the most tolerant people when it comes to diversity. Otherwise, they wouldn't immigrate to other nations.
I have NEVER met a racist, rude Indian. They are very nice and tolerant people. Even the Indian pervert guys are polite people. What about Europeans? I know plenty of racist, rude, outrageous Europeans but European countries are mostly blue. (I know many Europeans that are very polite and nice too.) I think "disliking neighboring countries from other races" is not directly related with racism.
I'm interested to know exactly how they defined 'race'. Because if they included caste and categorized that as race, then yes, you'd expect India to be top of the list. South Korea's a lot lower on the list than it should be though. In that 2010ā2014 World Values Survey, quoting figures directly from the source, it was actually 44.2% of South Koreans who reported they would not want neighbors of a different race, which would put them top of the list instead of the Indians. Look it up- your table's wrong.
This is because of Korean ethnic nationalism- in South Korea, they literally believe in Harry Potter-style "blood purity", with only Korean "Minjok" (aka 'pure-bloods') deemed to be true Koreans based on their firm conviction that they are purest descendants of a legendary genitor and half-god figure called Dangun, resulting in discrimination toward people of both "foreign-blood" and "mixed blood", who are commonly referred to as "Honhyul" (aka 'Mudbloods'). India's nationalism is primarily religious, not racial. South Korea's, on the other hand, is almost entirely racial, with no religious elements remaining whatsoever. So they're the most racist country on Earth, not the Indians.
On a map where Iceland is more racist than Russia, you know it's complete rubbish. Was probably made by some alt-right basement dweller.

Indian and I agree.
We are so racist that we even call names to the people of the other states of our own country. We have strict preferences, now, whether they're intense enough to be labelled as racism or not but this doesn't change the fact.
There are so many things on which we discriminate like caste, region, colour, age, gender, sexual orientation and of course, race etc.
I've been mocked all my life because I look like an East Asian in this South Asian country.
Nonetheless, I don't fully agree with this statistics. US police department is notorious and Australians are so racist that they even kill the South Asian students and Great Britain is the root of all racism.
There is no legal or physical (violence) discrimination on the grounds of race here though.
Not really. I think Indians are okay in general. I haven't met an outright-inyourface racist one in my experience.
The people in Germany have a superiority complex and are likely to point how you look funny in their eyes as a brutal truth. Philippines, Thailand and South Africa - these countries are pretty racist in my opinion more than others. I call it the hustler parasitical nations where they'd suck up white people's ass too easily and set white people as the the model of ultimate beauty standards. The plastic surgeries, they take, really speak for what they think is beautiful. Coloured eyes, blonde or brown hair , big boobs, a sharper nose, skin whitening, the desperation to breed with white people to create beautiful offsprings etc.
I became suspicious as soon as I saw that it's Washington Post -- their credibility hit the rock bottom and penetrated it further.
Then I became even more skeptical when I've noticed research has been done by al-Swedistani reseachers.
And then I noticed that in that very same research there's a mention of a research of "most diverse countries" done by the same people, where my country (which has, mind you, nearly 190 ethnicities!) is tagged as "more homogeneous", I dismissed it as absolute bullshit.
I think the parents and older people can be quite 'traditional'. The Indian guys I met are very nice and respectful good men, but I dunno em' all and the conversation is never that deep :p
sad, people are that hung up on something as simple as living by someone-I like by white people, black people, Asian people, Muslim people (dunno ethnicity), and I don't even care... it's cool to hear different languages and see different things.
It's funny how people here are mostly arguing against this based on interactions they've had with Indians online and in the west and then try to point out borderline ridiculous selection biases in the study. I think a tell tale in this study is that culturally homogenous countries tend to show less tolerance of other races while culturally diverse countries tend to show more tolerance which makes sense. What's getting people worked up over Thisbe is that it runs against the narrative that Americans are crazy racist people. If you've ever bet spent much time outside the US you'd realize that this simply isn't the case.
i doubt this would be true but yeah everyone is entitled to their opinion.
if this survey is done in the US , then it's no surprise to me since indans have been stereotyped that we date and marry in our own race and don't prefer other races. but the problem is that the moment a indian guy or girl dates someone from the other race, people don't even for a second to judge them and demean them.
FYI to the people who think i am sitting in inda and making this comments should be disappointed since i have many relatives and friends abroad with whom i am in touch and understand what is happening in those countries.
As far as I'm concerned, a survey like that is almost meaningless. I draw no conclusions from it whatsoever.
There are so many variables, so many ways to define things, no real way to measure it, so much unintentional bias in the wording. Plus it's just one study which is NEVER very reliable.
So far I've never met any racist Indian. The ones I met are mostly friendly and respectful most of the times.
This chart seems reallyyyyy wrong tbh. I dont think its accurate at all. Where did Spain go? There's lots of racists here (not more racist one tho). How about Athens? Also many racists there. Lebanon second racist one? I doubt that.
I really wonder who and how the hell did they come up with this chart.
I'm surprised Japan isn't higher and overall it's probably a good rough evaluation. I'm general bias tends to decline as societies become more integrated. That is a pretty well known phenomenon. The societies in the top pretty much all share one common theme. They all lack integrated diverse societies in comparison to the larger portion of the former English colonies which are almost all blue blue blue.
man, im here is Austria, here was born the biggest famous racist man on earth, last election we had been close to 50% for the FPÖ (a political party founded past direkt from the nsdap and the nazis, a court have said last year its legal to call them nazis because they are nazis) and austria is not even on the map... and remember the fly in embargo against muslims from trump, I mean, was this not racist enough? and I can bad imagine that only 4.9% of americans are racist...
Bro i am an indian myself and i agree with this people do these kinds of things but where I live it happens less as I live in a developed city and people are more educated here but in backward or less developed regions in india people still do these kind of things and they should stop this but they don't 😔😔

Here you go, this is the first line i read given in your link, check yourself
i think racist people are all over the world.
but honestly speaking, the indians i have met till yet, on the internet, were all very nice, kind and good people. especially some of the Indian people i met on gag are really kind and nice people
I don't live in India, don't know, won't know, won't want to validate what they claim.
But it makes me wonder though, which country would be consider to be the least racist country according to their "studies" and "research"?
Being Indian, I agree in some extent. Am I racist to you? 😛
Well it would be because its heavily populated, more people equates to more bad people too.
I don't really believe in statistics and how they measure stuff like this. Lol.
I have Indian friends and they straight up told me that their culture is racist. I'm inclined to agree due to some of the things they say about other races. Even so, they're nice people.
Honestly?
Yes, but only because Japan isn't number one
I guess that make sense due to how huge the population is and how a lot of the people living there are living in poverty.
Yes absolutely true, being an Indian I know this harsh reality.
