A very interesting chart... My take-away from this is that people from the more impoverished nations are much less racially tolerant, which could be because they have substandard education or because they have not had the benefit of global travel (something I recommend for all people worldwide) and the countries with the least bias are often countries where education is of a higher standard and/or people have had the benefit of global travel, which often requires one to be more racially tolerant (to avoid getting beat down in a foreign country) or because they have more awareness of foreign culture and less 'negative indoctrination' by their national leadership However, as a citizen of the US - where things seem to be getting quite hateful and full of fear-mongering - I'm starting to wonder how long that will last. It seems that 'global hatred' is being tolerated by a larger percentage of people, these days. That is very unfortunate, considering we're supposed to be the ones setting the global example, rather than falling prey to 'manipulative leaders and media' as well as the misguided actions of the lesser-educated. I think this previously wonderful part of American culture is slowly starting to slip away. That would certainly be a shame on our nation. Time will tell...I guess we'll see what happens! - A global survey tracks peoples' willingness to live alongside neighbors of a different race.
