Most Racist countries in the World.

Sorry, but this really doesn't mean much. For one, any sociologist worth his salt knows that asking people directly about most anything (even if it's just how they like their coffee) gives unreliable data. The way the question was phrased, I'd say the survey is a better indication of the acceptability within a country of *saying* that you don't like other races. While that obviously has overlap with racism, it's hardly the same thing. And as the responding article states, it's misleading to measure something like racism with just one metric from one question, and people from different countries may tend to hear the question differently (author gives the example of Vietnamese perhaps being intolerant of the Chinese but not other races in general). A better study would provide a lot of indirect questions that feed back into the same topic.

I deleted my post because it was (more or less) irrelevant. But, since you've responded, it's probably worth pointing out that "Jewish" isn't a race. Further, just because a culture is widely accepting of another culture, doesn't mean that that culture is more accepting/less prejudiced against those of other races. Good on Albania though; at least one of my ancestors wasn't so lucky in Austria.

To draw from the Thomas Theorem, I think the treatment of Jews as their own race makes is easier to draw parallels between their mistreatment, and racism. I agree with you that obviously they are not a race, per-se. Not sure if you agree with me there.



But yeah, it's totally cool. Like i had heard stories from my grandparents, but it was cool to see a study carried out on it.

Good to see you posting, AP. Your insights are always awesome

Oh yeah? Because Albania was the only European country who had an INCREASE of Jewish population after the war.
Nose is being held high because we deserve it. Quit being butthurt.

Good for Albania for providing home for about 2000 jews who moved there during WW II. Obviously it is easier to increase the number when you had such limited population to start with ( about 200 estimated Jews in whole Albania before WWII). And Spain was another country where Jewish numbers were up after WWII so Albania was not the only one for your knowledge.

2000 people is 2000 people. The motion of that movement alone is enough. Only one SINGLE Jewish family was killed. If it was so easy, then how come nearly no one else did it?

I am not saying it was easy. My point is it is easier to protect 200 Jews then 20.000 for example.

Your focus is wrong. One is capitalistic country, other is communist dictatorship. Religion has nothing to do with economy.
See Democratic Germany Republic and German Federal Republic. Both had same religions. One was striving capitalistic country, other one socialist disaster.

How interesting. Maybe if South Korea continues to become more religious, they'll join other economic elites like Afghanistan, Yemen, Oman, all African countries with Muslim majorities, all South Asian countries with Muslim majorities, and every other non-oil based Muslim economy not named Turkey.

How does it feel to brag about a religion that turns everything it touches into the most accurate representation for "the ******* of planet earth"?

Religion has nothing to do with it when discussing Cuba, North Korea, Czech Republic, or Estonia but when discussing Sweden, Norway etc their religion (or lack of) gets the credit. Sorry but as a man of science, reason and rationality I cannot agree with such faulty logic.
