, a comprehensive data platform in the United States, Index Mundi, recently released the ranking of "the most racist countries in the world", , Malaysia ranked second.
According to the racial discrimination survey conducted by Index Mundi, they asked people from many countries around the world - "How big is racial discrimination in the country you live in?" to measure residents' perception of the country.
So South Africa ranked first with 6.86 points, Malaysia ranked second with 6.32 points, and the third was Guatemala with 6.10 points.
According to Index Mundi data, they visited 451 Malaysians in this survey, but did not provide the racial proportion of the respondents.
Singapore ranks 73rd in the world with an index of 3.28 points, while Indonesia ranks 14th in the world with 4.99 points.
The top ten countries are all distributed in continents around the world, such as Asia, Africa and South America. France is rated as the most racist country in Europe because it is the only European country in the top ten, and the other European country is Greece , ranking 12th in Index Mundi's most racist countries ranking.
After this survey was released, many Malaysian netizens expressed their shock and disagreement about this, and they really couldn't accept the title of "the second racism in the world". And many netizens support Malaysia on social media, believing that Malaysia is a very friendly and inclusive country and does not have serious racist views.
Some believe that the blame is on politicians and relevant authorities to spread racism. It is also proposed that the politician's speeches and views should not represent the attitude of the people, and the two cannot be confused.
The netizen left a message: "Malaysia racism originates from politics. If you look at ordinary people, even if they come from different religions and races, we are all friends with each other."
"This list is very misleading. It is completely nonsense to say that Malaysia is the second most racist country in (the world). Another thing is a different story. ”
Another netizen who also disagrees with this ranking said: "Most Malaysians who live with other races are tolerant and welcome each other." ”
Some people also believe that the problem that our country is accused of being the second most racist country in the world may be because of the fact that Malaysian politicians are most public about their identity as racist.
To talk about politics, there is indeed a Malaysian politician who has publicly stated that Malaysia is quite racist, and he is the former Prime Minister Mahathir .
