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?
truth hurts. that’s what we gain from thomasites, we filipinos are indeed racists., and laughed that america aint racist because they are enslaving blacks, murdered natives and hating asians and mexicans
Not true,filipinos are not racist
ginawa lang nila ang survey na to para naman sumikat sila kasi alam nila na talagang mag bibigay ng comment ang mga pinoy dito… bruhahahaha na walang basihan….
parang may mali sa survey na yan? kasi tayo nga magiliw sa mga bisita at foreigners.. may mali sa pinagbasehan nila para matawag na racist ang isang bansa.. biruin mo less racist pa ang us satin?
That is very true… It is always been a first hand experience for me that sometimes even our own fellow filipino people discriminates each other with regards to social status, background, religious affiliation, educational attainment, source of living, living conditions, and the community where a person/individual belongs… We may be ashamed to accept the fact and confess that we are very judgmental the very first time we set eyes on someone or somebody we hardly knew, the filipino character, attitude, morals and culture has dramatically changed for the worst over time. 🙁 and that is something serious and I am NOT proud of it. nakakahiya tayo sa mga ibang lahi na makita at malaman nilang tayo mismong mga pinoy walang pagtutulungan, pagkakaisa, pagmamalasakitan sa bawat isa mula sa pilipinas hanggang abroad kundi magsiraan, inggitan, payabangan. Ganyan tayo.
