The Washington Post runs an article with a map purporting to show the world's most and least racially tolerant countries. The least tolerant nations are shown to be India and Jordan, with Saudi Arabia, Iran, Indonesia and Egypt not far behind.
The most tolerant, if the article is to be believed, are the nations of the Anglosphere, Scandinavia, and three of the largest countries of Latin America. I'm not certain I believe the data.
For example, Japan notoriously discriminates against non-Japanese. Yet the map shows it to have modest amounts of racial bias. Not believable.
Behaviorally, most Americans choose to live in neighborhoods where their neighbors are overwhelmingly of the same race. Ask them about it and most will say of a multi-racial neighborhood, "No problem."
In other words, we Americans have learned not to tell the truth about our preferences. I expect that is true throughout the Anglosphere; I am less clear about other supposedly unprejudiced nations.
A study of this sort probably measures the degree to which people of a country buy into, or have been coerced into expressing, political correct views. Getting a handle on actual racial bias is difficult, but a measure of the percentage of people who live in truly multi-racial neighborhoods would be a better measure.
