I actually thought that, being a Canadian citizen, i knew the answer to this--I thought the U.S., with it's brutal history, socially Conservative South, Identity politics, & blatant expression of xenophobia was, bar-none, the most racist country in the world
That idea has recently been challenged by a Nigerian, a older friend of mine, who also lives in Canada. We argued for several hours over which country is more racist, and he was PISSED that i thought it was the U.S.. "Canada is the most RACIST country on earth", he almost shouted at me, "The ONLY difference between Canada & the U.S. is that Canada's racism is subtle & systematic, whereas the U.S.'s is blatant--Obama could NEVER have won an election in Canada"
He told me of these racial incidents:
-During a school play, everyone clapped for the children that went on stage, but when his child [Black] got on stage, the applause immediately stopped
-Cops have repeatedly singled him out for several tickets, almost daily, despite the fact that [he claims] he was not speeding
-He has had cops trash his house, desecrate his family belongings, and write "We hate n@GERS" on some of his stuff
-In British Columbia a few days a go, a Black teen was targeted for several White adolescents in pick-up trucks who hurled racial slurs at him, and proceeded to attempt to beat him up. The video is posted on You Tube
-A month or so ago a woman drew a swastika on her daugters face, & sent her to school
Which country is more racist towards Blacks: U.S.A versus Canada?

Where in Canada does he live? I live in Southern Ontario, and I love black people! I saw the BC incident that's f9cking sad, knowing that there are racist a99holes like that. Cops trashed his house? WTF. I think he should move out of the city that he is living and move into a diverse city like Toronto or something. If hes living in Alberta or something tell him to get the f9ck outta there cause those are pure rednecks and hells angels.
Coming from a Canadian, I think the states are more racist but that's just my opinion. In Canada, you do realize that people are equally racist towards blacks and south Asians right? I'm not pointing any fingers but we know who the racist ones are, the ones who think they own this land *cough cough* Why the hell do I have a hard time believing that, obviously that would have been on the news now or something.
I meant Whites, cause I said they THINK they own this country.

I am utterly amazed at how there can be so much hate in this world. I think that people who are racist are the lowest form of living being . My advice to this person would be to move , but I don't think that he should have to. I would get my local politician involved for sure . As far as what Country is worse, does it really matter ? There are idiots like this all over the world. And it's not just about skin colour , Women , Religion and people with all sorts of differances are targeted ( physical and mentally ) People need to really take a hard look in the mirror before they judge others. It's really a shameful way to act especially when kids are watching.

No matter what you do; some people will always prefer people who are more similar to their own racial type.
And it ain`t racism; its called PREFERENCE RELATED TO EARNED TRUST.

I live in a diverse state (California, to be exact) and I'm happy that everyone here gets along well.
I saw the video, and it's kind of sad, really.
I feel bad for your friend, hope it doesn't happen again.
I'm not sure which Country is more racist because if I decide to choose one, then that means that I'm generalizing. White supremacists are the most racist ones and they're spread out all over the world, which is kind of bad.
Your friend should move somewhere else before it gets worse.
Try going to a diverse city because I think that it's better there. Everyone gets along real fine.

That's pretty much going to be anywhere you go as a black person, where there aren't a substantial number of blacks in the area. i've fared extremely well in Germany, but i think that's only because my language skills are over the top- the vast majority of people i encounter are so impressed with my German (as an American) skills that any negative feelings they may have been harboring turn into curiosity- they don't expect Americans to speak their language, and so it makes a really good impression.
So, yeah- at any rate, i wouldn't expect Canada to be any different than the U.S. I'd like to live there, but not because i think it's a liberal place void of racism- i simply think some parts are very beautiful and cold, and that's the kind of climate i prefer. Bring on the racists- i can handle all of them!

For black people, Russia is definitely not the place to be at the moment; Skinheads have run amok, and there's been quite a few reports of non-white people being viciously attacked. Spain is another tough country. Not as violent as Russia, but they can be extremely rude, verbally Germany's not that bad; they have their share of West African immigrants, and I've met a few African-Americans and Black Brits who have actually settled in Germany and even started families with local white Germans. Indeed, many Germans (esp. the under 30 crowd) seem to have a little fascination with hip-hop culture. Germans in fact appear to tolerate blacks more than Turks or Eastern Europeans.

I don't know about Canadian attitudes to Blacks, but there appears to be an overt prejudice against Newfoundlanders there which could match any negative stereotype in the world.
