Having said that, systemic racism is alive and well in the us and pervades every part of this culture. Mysogeny too. Our government is actively working to increase the damage and entrench these "values" against the will of the majority of the people. I agree and marval at the shallowness shown by using such a misleading question to paint such broad strokes. Not much thought or research went into the artical. This is the us in a nutshell, its population likes to gaslight itself and pretend it has redeeming qualities that it does not.<br />More indicative of systemic racisism would be incarceration numbers compared to population percentages. We in the us put people in prison according to their race, economic background and gender. Another indicator would be to show the econmic or class differences as they break down next to population percentages. In looking at prison populations, we should also ask sentancing questions. How do sentences break down over race and gender and economic lines?<br />Lastly, what is the attitude of the government about improving things and what are they willing to do to change? The us government is now actively trying to increase the racist and misogynist abuse. The washington post, by putting this out as a "fact" is at best, complicit in the process and more likely adding to it while discreditiong itself. Reporters(journalists)are a thing of the past.

Just because racism is how they see the world, they think that racism is the most important way to hate. In Western Europe, with N-Ireland as the extreme, it was Catholic vs Protestant. In Norway and Finland, it was important to not be Swedish, as well as not be Saami, the Scandinavian "eskimoes" aka Lap people.<br /><br />In India, it would be more important to ask about the caste, instead of race. Some countries are so homogenic, they hardly have a concept of race.<br /><br />This WaPo article was a weird, slightly nauseating self congratulatory article for Americans who now seem to think their level of intolerance is the same as Canada, Germany, etc. Gimme a break.<br />Anybody who ever has been in those countries knows that surely of all western nations, America is the most racist.H4ckRn00bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00416734540622900672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8446351548038522890.post-61746860885437248552013-12-17T16:36:17.122-05:002013-12-17T16:36:17.122-05:00I couldn't find the data on World Values Study...I couldn't find the data on World Values Study site either and I've spent ages.

The average population between 1982 - 2006 in the US was 271 182 638 (271 million), which means of the entire registered population of the US, 0.002989% were polled.<br /><br />If one would like to assume that 0.002 % of the US population speak for the entire population, then this poll can be believed.<br /><br />For Jordan which seems to have the worst rating, the two waves of polls occurred in 2000 & 2007, and polled a total of 2 422 households out of a registered population estimate of 5.2 million - meaning 0.04657 % of the population were polled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8446351548038522890.post-65185373107376231562013-05-21T09:02:54.301-04:002013-05-21T09:02:54.301-04:00The data was inverted for both Hong Kong and Bangl...The data was inverted for both Hong Kong and Bangladesh.
