Indians: Offenders or Victims of Racism?

Bangalore: Most Indians believe in the myth about the presence of racism only in foreign countries and see themselves as a victim of it. On researching about the social attitudes of Indians towards being racist, it was found that the country has the least tolerant population towards people from other nations and their ethnicity. Another racist country like India is Jordan, situated in the Middle East where there is racist manifestation.

Even though the global survey says that India is a racist country, it might be slightly hard to believe as western countries are said to have racism issues with people of different skin tones. The study says that the United States, Britain, Canada and South America are among the least racist, reports Rediff.

Interestingly, the survey claims that most racially intolerant populations exist in the developing world. According to the Washington Post, the data for the survey came from the World Value Survey, which calculated the social attitudes of people across countries. 

The survey asked individuals about the type of people that they would refuse to live next to. Racially intolerant respondents answered back saying ‘people of a different race’ which was counted as a major percentage for each country.
