The most racist country in the world?

Id probably say the country 'Niger'.

I said near leeds. It was a crappy little town called garforth, and this was 10 years ago before the current wave of immigration really hit the place.

I've have been to a number of different countries and personally I think certain parts of the UK have been the most racist.

Being asian I have experienced hostility from the majority from a young age. When I was a kid I lived in a little white trash village near leeds where although I was accepted I was still treated differently. Some of the kids treated me a different way while the teachers all used to patronise me to the extreme.

I live in a much more diverse part of manchester now so I experience virtually nothing like that now.

But I have been all around the UK, all the major cities in england are fine but I have experienced hostility when I go camping or surfing around devon and certain parts of cornwall but buy far the worst was when I went to Scotalnd. Edinburgh was particularly bad, where I was called a 'paki' to my face twice when I went on nights out. Second time I had had enough I was in a bar and luckily I had a few drinks so when he confronted me I just smashed a glass in his face and got the hell outta their. In my mind we were even - he verbally assaulted me so I assaulted him back. He had it coming anyway, you can just picture the type - chavvy, arrogant, skinhead...he deserved it imo.

Apart from that I have been to spain, amsterdam, saudi arabia, pakistan where I have felt at home and never experienced any form of discrimination.

I have also been to hawaii, the natives there are very hostile towards outsiders, specifically whites who they call 'haole', but because i am brown they were generally cool with me. Apparently a lot of places there is hell for caucasians, esp. americans. Not that I think it's ok to treat others differently. Racism of any form is bad.

Anyone else had any experiences?

A Global Human Rights organisation, not sure which one runs a twice-a-decade survey of social and political attitudes around the world -- which asked people how they would feel about living next to: People of different ethnicities, Muslims, Jews, immigrants or foreign workers, and homosexuals.

The most prejudiced countries in the year 2000 survey were:

1.Northern Ireland - 44% of population saying they wouldnt be happy living next dorr to one of the above groups.

2.Greece - 43.2%

3.Italy - 37.6%

The least bigoted nations were dominated by Scandinavian countries: Sweden (13.4%), the Netherlands (17.2%), Iceland (18.4%), Canada (21.5%), Denmark (21.9%).

Although these nations have lower levels of prejudice, I put the point that perhaps these countries don't suffer the same influx level of eastern european/asian and often illegal immigrants that Britain and other western countries do.

I don't want to give a biased opinion, but you should read this before you go -

all I can say is, if you do go, stick to the campus like a fish to water.

When I went to Moscow we went shopping and this group of black people walked past and the locals just stopped dead in their tracks and stared at them, some were talking amongst themselves and laughing at them, it was quite weird / uncomfortable.

i have been called a chigger before though

What the hell is a chigger ???
