Humanity has come a long way and overcame many difficulties. Whether it's a war, an epidemic, natural disasters, man-made disasters, we've been through it. But over the years, we seem to have missed the point that all the troubles we face are our own creation. It is we, the people, who so violently incite hatred within ourselves, which is the cause of most of the destruction.
Although the international community is working hard to spread the idea of love, their message seems to go unheard — violence, murder, racism, homophobia, war crimes occur every day in our time. And out of all this encounter with racism, not a single person deserves. Basically, racism is prejudice and discrimination against people of a particular race. Although we have overcome radical racism, it still prevails in many parts of the world. Here are some of the most racist countries in the world -
12.South Africa
There is much that any country can do to stop racism, and it is sad and heartbreaking that racism in South Africa has survived Mandela, who fought it so hard all his life. Thanks to the anti-apartheid movement, the legal system of the state was changed and now the manifestation of racism is considered illegal, but it still remains a reality.
As you know, people in South Africa are racists, and in some places the prices of food and goods are set according to the race of the person. A group of people were recently arrested in South Africa for inciting violence against whites. This only proves that racism is outside the legal framework.
11. Saudi Arabia
As a wealthy country, Saudi Arabia has some clear advantages over poor and developing countries. But Saudi Arabia is using these privileges to profit from it. As you know, Saudi Arabia attracted workers from developing countries such as Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, etc., who were mistreated and who lived in inhuman conditions.
In addition, Saudi Arabians are racist towards poorer Arab countries. Some time after the Syrian revolution, many Syrians took refuge in Saudi Arabia, where they are very ill-treated. The saddest thing is that these people cannot go anywhere with their complaints.
10. United States of America
The country of freedom and courage also found itself on the list of the most racist countries in the world. Although we look at the current picture in the United States through rose-colored glasses, and it seems very rosy, the present state of affairs is very different. In the far southern and midwest regions such as Arizona, Missouri, Mississippi, etc., racism is a daily occurrence.
Being against Asians, Africans, South Americans, and even ordinary people in the United States is the essence of Native Americans. Cases of dislike and hatred due to skin color are constantly increasing, and until we change the way people think, no law will change anything.
9.UK
They probably still suffer from a superiority complex, since at some point in history they were able to practically rule the entire world. And today the UK is one of the most racist countries in the world, especially towards the people they call “desi”. We are talking about people from the Indian subcontinent.
In addition, they show hostility towards the Americans, whom they contemptuously call "Yankees", the French, Romanians, Bulgarians, etc. It is striking that even now any political party in Great Britain propagandizes the question of whether a person wants to live next to immigrants, which leads to racial hatred and racism.
8. Australia
Australia is not like a country that can be racist, but no one knows the bitter truth better than Indians. Most of the people who live in Australia migrated here from other countries. Yet they believe that any new person who migrates or relocates to Australia to earn a living should return to their home country.
In 2009, harassment and attacks against natives of India increased in Australia. Almost 100 such cases have been reported, and 23 of these have identified racial motivations. The laws have tightened and the situation is much better now. But such incidents only show how selfish humanity can become by satisfying its own needs and hurting others.
7. Rwanda
The 1994 Rwandan genocide is a stain of shame in human history. It was a terrible time when the two ethnic races of Rwanda clashed with each other, and this conflict resulted in the terrible death of more than 800,000 people. The two Tutsi and Hutu tribes were the only participants in the genocide, in which the Tutsi tribe became the victim, and the Hutu were the perpetrators of the crime.
Tribal tensions remain today, and even the smallest spark can rekindle the flames of hatred in a country.
6. Japan
Japan today is a well-developed first world country. But the fact that she still suffers from xenophobia throws her back many years. Although racism and discrimination are prohibited under Japanese law and regulation, the government itself practices what is called "positive discrimination." This is a very low tolerance for refugees and people from other countries.
It is also a known fact that Japan is trying its best to keep Muslims out of their country as they think Islam is not in keeping with their culture. Such obvious cases of discrimination are widespread in the country and there is nothing to be done about it.
5. Germany
If you sow hate, you will only reap hate. Germany is a living example of the effect hatred can have on the minds of people. Today, many years after Hitler's rule, Germany remains one of the most racist countries in the world. Germans hate all foreigners and still believe in the superiority of the German nation.
Neo-Nazis still exist and openly declare anti-Semitic ideas. The beliefs of neo-Nazism can lead to an unexpected awakening of those who thought that the ideas of German racism died with Hitler. The German government and the UN are making every effort to cover up this forbidden activity.
4. Israel
Israel has been a center of controversy for many years. The reason for this was the crimes committed against the Palestinians and Israeli Arabs. After World War II, a new state was created for Jews and the indigenous people had to become refugees in their own land. Thus began the current conflict between Israel and Palestine. But now we see very well how Israel has mistreated people and discriminated against them on any grounds.
3. Russia
Xenophobia and "nationalist" feelings still prevail in Russia. Even today, Russians are racist towards those people whom they do not consider to be primordially Russian in origin. In addition, they have racial hostility towards Africans, Asians, Caucasians, Chinese, etc. This leads to hatred and, in the future, to serious crimes against humanity.
The Russian government, along with the UN, tried to do everything possible to prevent such incidents of racism, but they still continue to appear not only in remote areas, but even in large cities.
2. Pakistan
Pakistan is a country where the majority of the population is Muslim, but even there there are numerous conflicts between the Sunni and Shiite sects. For a long time, these groups have been at enmity with each other, but no measures are being taken to stop this.In addition, the whole world is aware of the long war with neighboring India.
There have been incidents of racism between Indians and Pakistanis. In addition, other races such as Africans and Hispanics are discriminated against.
1. India
A country with such great diversity is also on the list of the most racist countries in the world. Indians are the most racist people in the world. Even in our time, a child born into an Indian family is taught to honor any person with white skin and to despise a dark-skinned person. This is how racism towards Africans and other black nations was born.
A light-skinned foreigner is treated like a deity, while a dark-skinned foreigner is treated in the opposite direction. Among the Indians themselves, conflicts also arise between castes and people from different regions, such as the conflict between the Marathas and the Bihars. Yet Indians will not recognize this fact, and take pride in their cultural diversity and acceptance. Now is the time for us to open our eyes to what the situation really is and take into account the constructive statement "Athithi DevoBhava" (accept the guest as God).
This list shows that no existing laws and regulations, no document can change us. We must ourselves change ourselves and our thinking for a better future and make every effort so that no human life will suffer in the future because of someone's selfishness and a sense of superiority.
