    I know it makes total sense, but not even DMD/DDS past 3 years.
    I will probably check around November this year while waiting for my kids' pediatric office. It is right next to my kids primary office.

    The United States is one of the least racist countries on the planet, maybe the least. For instance, why would people from sub-saharan Africa want to risk their lives to come here if this country is so racist? If you're like me you're hoping they are coming here for the opportunity to improve their lives, work hard, and make a good home for their families. If you're like me you see the reality, many of them just want to get on the welfare system and live in a nice place with heat and A/C instead of a mud hut.

    Not sure what the system is and what it does so have no insight as to it's prejudice.

    Let's hear the myriad of explanations of the system and how it might be racist.
    I too fail to understand how those claims can be made but then I'm not a criminal or an asshole that thinks I should be allowed to run amok.

    Most of the "systemic racism" talk is centered around young, black, males that get involved with the police, the courts, and the prison system. Should we have a discussion on root cause?

    "Systemic racism" is just another phrase for "I want to do what I want and I shouldn't be held liable for my own actions no matter what the negative impact is on another party". This mantra applies to members of all 3 races, Caucasoid, Mongoloid, and Negroid. There is a rapidly growing lack of personal responsibility in this country, should we discuss that too?

    The system isn't racist, the system is the citizenry which is made up of persons from each race. Citizens are judging an individual based on their behavior, not their race as the race-baiters would have us believe. Those people whose behavior is objectionable get negative attention from citizens through law enforcement, the courts, and the prison system. That isn't racism, that is our system applying responsibility to the person that committed the objectionable behavior.

    Well, it looks like someone hasn?t spent much time in Texas or Louisiana or Mississippi or Alabama or Georgia or just about any state in the south.

    If I had to vote for the country with the least amount of racism I don?t think the US would break into the top five.

    I don't think the country as a whole is a "racist" country. I think there's plenty of racist people in the US. But I don't believe whites are the biggest offenders.

    Question was not for me but...


    We need to have limits. I am going to start with countries with 100m or more populations.

    I mean if a non catholic who might live in Vatican will get discriminated. Anyone in Sam Marino who is not native might get (age sex race etc) will give distance.

    My guess is countries with no diversity and have strict legal immigration policies.

    Then also countries near south Africa during 70s were bad. ,(but falls under 100m)

    China- over 56 ethnic groups live there and they so not treat some people with different ethnic group the same.
    Look at west and south west provinces. They are treated as 2nd class citizen.


    US- mainly good but there are some shares of racist-retardism going on here.

    India- many violence towards Muslim minorities.

    Japan - similar to US. There are small % of people who are those crazy racist-war loving-samurai-antiforeigner group who thinks they are superior.

    Besides media, I try to listen to some people who have lived in those countries for years.

    Etc etc.

    I lived in Japan for 4 years. It was obvious to me then the Japanese were very racist...but kind of in a subdued way. Especially to other Asians.

    South Africa is still horribly racist, but it's gone full circle. The present government is actively and openly racist against whites (and other non-white foreign Africans) and is busy making horrendously discriminatory policies...ex: expropriation without compensation.

    That country has struggled with deep racism by all parties for centuries.

    I feel a chastising coming on for playing the white victimhood card...

    I haven?t given it much thought and zero research but I?m sure places like Canada, Finland, Denmark, Great Britain, Norway, Sweden, etc. probably fit in the top part of the list.
