Most racist nations in the western world.

Italy, Belgium and Greece lead the way, Sweden comes last...

Interesting results...{not sure how much weight people should put on these results though}

Chart is at the bottom of the page...

I was suprised about how high Italy, Spain, Northern Ireland, and Greece were on the list

 

I wasn't suprised w/ Spain nor Italy.

I am somewhat suprised about Belgium and seeing Sweden at the bottom of the list sounds about right.

 

Spain is one of the most racist countries in Europe.
Ireland is pretty bad, too.
I was surprised about Italy and Greece though.

 

Out of all my friends, the Swedish one has the most racist family members, mainly his god damn grandmother. :neutral: But of course, I'm not gonna judge a whole country on that.

 

Where's Russia? I guess it is dangerous to conduct a survey there.

 

Lol..I think its because its considered eastern block.

 

Exactly. When people say the West, they usually don't include Russia.

 

How many countries on the list have any of you been to?

 

Not surprised by Italy or Greece at all.

 

The only place I have ever been called an N lover to my face was in Rome.

 

interesting that the most racist euro nations are also the darkest....can we say self-hating mofos still mad the Moors kicked their asses

 

If you were from Europe you would not be surprise Spain is rated one of the highest.



Cheers!

 

I was thinking the same thing.

 

Unfortunate but one must admit that such a thing could've easily happened in TX or even CA as well.

My experience in Italy was radically different from this and can attest to the warmth and hospitality I was shown in several locations there.

 

It just goes to show you that there are warm and welcoming people in every nation just the same as there are bigoted and mean-spirited people in every nation

 

I'm glad Russia is not on the list!

 

I think if you live in Europe, Spain definitely will not be a suprise for most people. This is partly because of the way Spanish football fans treat black football players. I remember a few years ago the English football team went to play in Madrid, and at that time the English team had a few black players, something like 5 of the starting eleven were black. Anyway, everytime a black player touched the ball the was a chorus of monkey noises. There was also the Lewis Hamilton situation at the Spanish Grandprix. I know sports supporters are not the best people to judge a nation of people, but I think people who haven’t been to Spain tend to judge Spain this way.

I have actually been to Barcelona. It's strange though, I never felt any racism directed towards me. I only speak a little bit of Spanish though and don’t speak any Catalan, so things may have been said I didn’t pick up.For some reason, a lot the Spanish thought I was American. I would be out ordering food and they would point at me and say" Americano" in a polite friendly way.

I think my pleasant experience was mainly due to the fact I was in a touristy place though. My experiences would probably been different if I mingled with the locals more.

Can't say I am shocked Italy is so high up on the list either. My time spent at Rome airport was not the most pleasant I have spent at an airport.

 

well every country have racists i guess i can understand why greece will be that high a lot of people can't really separate racism with been ethnics nationalists, that are very very pround of who they are and at the end you do end a little (or more lol) arrogant :wink: and thats what i think most Greeks are. :wink:

 

not surprised, italians greece, ireland, just look at boston mostly irish and racist as hell

but again this is just a little survey prbably polled like 1,000 folks
