    If this is an honest question which I doubt it is, I would say Brazilians tend to be the most tolerant around. More mixed raced people there than any country I've experienced.

    It was an honest question. I am not defending Russians but I would guess people from India and Africa are much more racist.

    Yes, they are equally racist. Indians tend to be racist against other Indians more than anything.

    I think you had to ask this question because the right wing frames racial politics in America as liberals or "critical race theory" trying to make white people to be the biggest racists that exist. It's a strawman.

    The actual claim that is being made is that systemic racism still has tangible consequences for certain populations in America. That's it. It doesn't mean white people are the "most racist". Racism exists everywhere. The right wing in America wants to parented the consequences of systems like Jim Crow and redlining have no repurcussions that exist today and anyone who claims otherwise is merely trying to paint white people as the biggest evil.

    Maybe tolerant, race wise, but not so much in other areas.

    I was talking about race. Homophobia is totally different. I think Thailand is by far the most tolerant of the LGBTQ community even though they are very conservative as a culture.

    I am not in favor of these best/worst questions. The answer is almost always, 'it depends'. In western societies, we often lose focus on context and like to frame things in terms of binary choices.

    After all, this whole white supremacy conversation is framed around a false binary choice. White vs. not-white.

    How many exceptions are there to being white?

    Sorry I need to make a correction -- the Sentinelese are actually the most racist people on earth.

    Apologies for any confusion that error caused.

    We don't know if the Sentinelese are racist. Ever talk to one?

    But thanks for reminding me of another pet peeve.

    Americans are actively trying to re-define the term 'racism' to mean anything involving one's race. Wrongo. Originally, racism means one group believes they are inherently superior to another. Mentioning someone's race or there is some indication that race plays a role in something, that doesn't make it racist. e.g. celebrating Chinese New Year isn't racist.

    I just understand what labor ownership of the means of production has to do with government approving or banning music and media.

    Does she not realize that she bends over for a dude who wanted a comedy sketch show to be held "liable" for making fun of him?

    This has to do with not understanding what "Socialism" actually is.

    Also add this is coming from the same people who are arguing for more government control and sanction of private businesses when they don't agree with them ideologically.

    When right wingers use the term "NPC", you embody that mantra to the letter.
