Fix the question to match the referenced claim

| Aug 14, 2013 at 17:39 | comment | added | ChrisW | Your reference doesn't match your question. I think that the list you referenced claims that the Netherlands is #5, after the other 3 Nordic countries, leaving Canada at #1. On the subject of whether Canada is racist: my impression is that it is seen as being less "racist" towards immigrants than it is towards its own First Nations. | |

| May 13, 2013 at 17:03 | comment | added | Persian Cat | the term "racial discrimination" shall mean any distinction, exclusion, restriction, or preference based on race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin that has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life. | |
| May 13, 2013 at 12:56 | comment | added | jwenting | @PersianCat in Europe we now have what is called euphemistically "reverse discrimination" in which white people are discriminated against in order to prevent non-whites from shouting "racism" for not getting preferential treatment. That's racism too, and it's institutionalised in many EU countries, yet it never shows up on the charts because of who is being victimised (by definition almost white people can't be the victims of racism, to the point that anti-discrimination laws are actively interpreted to read such, see several US DOJ decisions after discrimination against white voters in 2008). | |

| May 13, 2013 at 11:32 | comment | added | Persian Cat | @jwenting I disagree with you as it has. If there are some groups in Europe who are protecting it and even are going to parliament to give a legal form to it, it doesn't mean that you need to behave conservative about this matter or ignore it. Do not forget that in WW2 it was racism that damaged whole the Europe and Hitler was one of most popular leaders on that time, Mussolini too! It can happen again if you ignore it but not in Germany. In somewhere else.:) | |
| May 13, 2013 at 5:43 | comment | added | jwenting | @PersianCat racism has no definition. A lot of people scream racism when they don't get preferential treatment too, including when they demand such preferential treatment based not on race but for example religion. | |
| May 12, 2013 at 21:52 | comment | added | Carlo Alterego | Clearly this question in not constructive and I'm astonished to see it still opened. -1 and voting to close. | |
| May 12, 2013 at 21:43 | comment | added | Persian Cat | I do not measure it! Racism has a significant definition which by an easy click you can find it. The claimer in the link claims that you can read it and I am skeptical about. It depends on the one who wants to provide an answer to deny the claim or prove it. | |
| May 12, 2013 at 21:29 | comment | added | Flimzy | How do you measure racism? Racially-segregated jobs/neighborhoods/businesses? Racial income disparity? A poll of people, X% said "I am racist"? | |
| May 12, 2013 at 16:02 | comment | added | Persian Cat | And I appreciate of edit suggestions but see nothing! :) | |
| May 12, 2013 at 15:58 | comment | added | Persian Cat | I agree that it is difficult to find the answer but anyway it is a claim in the internet and can impress readers so it could be a good idea to find an answer to deny it if you can! | |
| May 12, 2013 at 14:27 | comment | added | ChrisW | I didn't downvote you, but it might be because it's not a very "notable" claim, or because the question is not well-defined (it's not clear how to measure nation-wide racism). In Canada, the biggest city is Toronto: 50% of the population of Toronto was born outside Canada; so it's very multi-cultural here in Toronto. In France and England I have sometimes heard normal middle-class adults say things about immigrants or preserving culture, which sound "politically incorrect" to my liberal Canadian ears. On the other hand racism is no doubt different elsewhere in Canada (e.g. Quebec). | |

| May 12, 2013 at 13:18 | comment | added | Persian Cat | Downvoter: Could you please add a comment to find what is wrong with this question? It seems you do not like racism. Me too! So why do you give downvote to all topics about it? Do you think ignoring it can solve the problem which seems is growing in the world in 21 century?! :) | |
| May 11, 2013 at 22:09 | comment | added | Persian Cat | We can find racism in its hidden phase whole around the world even in Iran or eastern countries. But it will be different from one country to another in how law,people and government control it or even protect it. I want to know if by considering specific methods or items we can compare countries with each other. | |
| May 11, 2013 at 22:05 | comment | added | Wertilq | Culture doesn't change fast. And the racist party is RIGHT NOW, swedes are quite racist, but not openly. Racist ideologies are held, even if they are not always said out loud... while being sober. I also highly question how you measure racism. Sending out questionaries asking people how much they hate other races, on a scale from 1 to 10? | |
| May 11, 2013 at 21:50 | comment | added | Persian Cat | Emm.. It is talking about recent years not WW2 ages. And also I do not think race-biology is equal to racism. Anyway I will wait for a mod to decide if this question needs any edit or not. Maybe it is better to change it from Netherlands to the 5 top least racists. And then you can send your information as an answer to deny it or prove it. | |
| May 11, 2013 at 21:34 | comment | added | Wertilq | I doubt Finland and Sweden are up there XD. Sweden have a racist party in the government(it's the smallest party, but still), and until like 1970 we have a race-institute here studying race-biology. We also had open border for the nazis, and did research on humans during WW2 era, and I think we even had a few nazi work-camps. | |
