Philippines Named as One of the Most Racist Countries in the World
Recent data from the World Value Survey shows that the Philippines is one of the most racist countries in the world.
This survey basically asked people what kinds of people they wouldn’t want to live near and then counted the amount of people who chose ‘people of a different race’ for each country. Apparently, societies, in which people wouldn’t want to live near other races are considered to be more racially intolerant.
Philippines Named as One of the Most Racist Countries in the World
The global social attitudes study claims that the most racially intolerant populations are all in the developing world, with Jordan and India in the top five.
While the country with the most racially intolerant people is Jordan, with 51.4% not wanting to live near another race, India is close behind with 43.5%. The Philippines lies in the 20 to 29.9% bracket along with other countries like Thailand, France, Malaysia, Bangladesh and Hong Kong; only below counties such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Vietnam, Indonesia, South Korea in the 30-39.% bracket.
The most racially tolerant countries are mostly Western countries, such as Britain, Canada, Australia and the U.S. In fact, only 3.8% of U.S. residents are reluctant to live near another race.
What are your thoughts on this? Are we Filipinos really that racist?
so not true at all…..this is so ridiculous report…..
Exactly – i would say it is because of “IGNORANCE” hence the Filipino is arrogantly ignorant. They are not only racist but the culture is very evident of being discriminating against old people, people with disabilities, religion, sexual orientation, gender, ethnicity, class, culture – you name it Filipinos are very prejudiced with their thoughts and likes. It is because most of us are basically IGNORANT and UNEDUCATED.
i agree very true from hiring workers..with pleasing personality always..
ako po di na ko nagulat sa balita na to maraming ganito nagkalat na sila… nakakalungkot kasi kahit san ka pumunta at subukan mong mag observa… meron at meron parin mga racist pati ageist.. sa trabaho, sa bahay, sa television, ka trabaho, katambay, nasa systema na kasi mahirap na alisin… 🙁 minsan po kasi binabasi natin sa panlabas na anyo yung nakikita natin.. 🙁
Is it racist that they single out whites, assuming they have money?
