Which is the least racist country in the world?

Tibet is the winner.

yeah been there. The impression I got was that there were only tourists.

More an administrative probelem than a social one, was my impression. And the figures from NationMaster seem to back this up. As does the recent article in Time

I'd say Iceland is the least racist country I've been to because I've never heard anything bad or stereotypical said about any other race in the country. Then again, 99.5% of Icelandic residents are, well, Icelandic or Scandinavian..(actually, many Icelanders move to the other three Scandinavian countries because Iceland is too conservative for them.), so do they get marked down for being sheltered or being very neutral about it all?

(Point being: "which is the least racist country in the world?" is a ridiculous question to ask...)

Also the "least racist" country could end up being the "most homo-bigoted" country as well, or the most misogynist, or the least. What's the context of the measuring stick in the first place? Thread length? (Hi! :D)

so, i mean, america means a lot of different things depending on who's looking at us.

of course I'm overgeneralizing, and there's tons of denial about racism in America, but still. I'm moderately committed to my answer.

USA:

Hispanics comprise 13% of the population (2000 census) which include people from South and Central America.
African Americans, or Blacks, comprise 13% (2000 census) of the American population.
Asian Americans, including Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, are a fourth significant minority (4% of the population in 2000).

ETC

Toronto represents a multicultural mosaic. The 2001 Canadian census indicates 42.8% of Toronto's population being of a visible minority. In March 2005, Statistics Canada projected that the visible minority proportion will comprise a majority in both Toronto and Vancouver by 2012.

I don't know whether this cartoon being produced in America is evidence for it being the least racist country in the world or not.

that percentage for LA almost definitely doesn't include "illegals", cuz id it did, those people in addition to naturalized Latinos, Koreans, etc etc would be over 50% easy

stevem, there is a GULF of difference betweeen the meanings inherent in 'tolerance' and 'acceptance'. I prefer the latter. Ideally would like everybody to wake up one morning unperturbed by their neighbours coming from somewhere different.

You have got to be kidding. You are dead meat if you are a Dane here. The local news is so Greenland-centric you'd think it was the centre of the earth.

I was surprised when I was trying to learn a bit of Polish for my holiday one year, that one of the guys on the tape was a black dude. One unfortunate family in 1950 got off the banana boat in Gdansk!!

Huh? Greenland has no independence, it is owned by Denmark. Hence the hatred of Danes and those who speak Danish in Greenland (when I said "here" I was talking about Greenland). The native Inuit people are very set in their ways, and the only ever Greenlandic film ever made was an elitist propaganda about an Inuit doing some "soul searching" after his sons became "too Western" (they went on a shooting spree and on of them turned the gun on himself. This is, o course, what being "Western" is all about :P).

how many of the "Foreign-born" were born in the "United States"? in real numbers - the number of immigrants who came to New York in the 1990s exceeds the city population of Toronto.

~25% of Torontoans are Asian and ~8% are black. roughly 10% of compare to New Yorkers are Asian, 25% are black non-hispanic, and 27% are hispanic.
