Who thinks that Americans are racist?

There is no way to accurately measure how racist a country is based on a question like that. You can gauge how acceptable racism is in that society, but because that will determine what a respondent will say more than their actual beliefs it is not a good measure of the prevalence of racism in any sort of way.

It should also be noted that one can be tolerant and still be racist. The study makes clear that they are measuring tolerance as tied to the Economic Freedom Index. So to interpret the results in this way is not accurate. There is a reason this was the closing statement in their study:


Looking at social variables in general can be thorny, even trickier at times than physical science. That's all I am saying.

That argument may hold water if you were surveying only one nation. The same question was posed to every nation in the survey so the question of social variables is all relative, therefore the results are relative.

Maybe this graph will meet your approval.
