Africa, obviously. Easily exceeds all other continents in interracial killings.

children are taught in schools (when studying foreign countries) that black people are lazy, stupid criminals while white people are intelligent and hard-working.
Source for this?

Japanese people still largely see themselves as the master race, and they allow almost no immigration lest their blood be tainted.

PRC-See Korea, intolerance and de facto ethnic cleansing aimed at non-Han Chinese.
When speaking about the PRC, one usually means the People's Republic of China, but since the description above has nothing to with it, what country are you calling PRC?

Asia, easily.  They're the only ones with the superiority myth intact.

Eastern Europe + Russia of course! Why these nations are even considered European is beyond me at this point, the Slavs share few characteristics with the Europes outside of Christianity.

Irony? Nein!


I do seem to remember ag lecturing me once about why Russia/most of eastern Europe should never be considered a part of the "western" world culturally and after some reflection I realized that Russia/it's own neighbors should be considered a part of its own sphere. I won't lie though, after I did some light reading on modern Russian racism, I have a little disdain for their culture. Call me crazy but I tend to dislike cultures that persecute browns for personal reasons.

My God, this is an incredibly racist thread.
Maybe, but it's not as racist as Asia.

Of course Russia has had problems with other cultures before, since proceeding the Brown's in their hatred was the Jews, others, etc.

Of course all Eastern Europeans are just like the Russians.
Incidentally, was the US and Germany and the US (whose crimes against the minorities are not even comparable with the overstated Russian racism) part of the Western world before 1950?

Not what I was saying but okay! I will acknowledge that my historical knowledge of the Balkans/Baltic nations is very shallow and is nothing to make judgments based off of. Are there any good books I should read that would inform me on your homeland?

Yes. America might have been considered a cultural backwater filled with former colonials but it's always been considered as part of the Western world. The same goes for Australia, Canada, New Zealand and (maybe) South Africa.

No, not what I'm saying.

Why do people treat my posts like they're cryptic messages containing some sort of hidden meaning? Everyone should know my extremely anti-Western political views by now, I've been posting here for four years. I hate American foreign policy, I think the way that the superiority complex that people from first world nations have is disgusting etc. I also strongly believe in determinism so I certainly don't believe that Russians are worse human beings for having racist tendencies.

Depends on what continent Russia is supposed to be in, I guess.

The Middle East is certainly not the most racist of the options. Except for the whole Israel vs. Arabs thing, I can't see what credentials they should have in this competition.

I don't know whether this poll makes much sense, anyway.

Just to play devils advocate here and play along with this thread... The gulf states tend not to treat their South Asia and Filipino worker drones very good.  Further, a lot of Mideast states treat Africans quite poorly and there is still racial/ethnic based slavery in handful.

You're not playing devil's advocate at all.  The Middle East got my vote hands down.

Whoever voted for Africa obviously has never been there.

What's your beef with Dutchmen... other than their racist holidays.

Sure about that? You certainly seem to be arguing in that general direction.

By your definition Europe is the most racist continent on the planet.  They have had so much trouble getting along they dragged the entire planet into two world wars that resulted in the only detonation of a nuclear bomb on civilians.  The biggest genocide in modern history occurred in Europe.

Grumpy I think we all know why you picked Africa.

Without wishing for a moment to defend the actions of Europeans as a group during that particular war, I think it might be pointed out that the people who did that were not Europeans...

I certainly did not mean to cause offense.  I don't think in those terms.  I was just illustrating the absurdity of another poster's reference to war.  For reasons we can only imagine he choose to ignore millenniums of savage conflict in order to make his rather bizarre point.  I have no idea how people of the same race fighting over scarce resources makes a continent "racist."

The difference between Europe and Africa is that racial conflicts in Europe ended in 1945, while in Africa they continue today. And the conflict in Darfur, South Africa (apartheid ended, but many of the attacks against whites are arguably on a racial basis) and Congo (read something about what happened to the pygmies in the recent war there) is certainly between different races. Rwanda arguably is another case.
