Hello World:
This post has some interesting information about different ethnic or races of people from different countries of the world. I came across some information where people were asked to vote on which country has the greatest number of racist, or people who hate other people solely on the basis because the other people are of a different race.
The people involved in this poll, from what I have found are ordinary people who live or have lived in all the countries mentioned, or they are people who have travelled to or visited such countries. Anyone could participate in this poll. I could have, but did not. Basically, the people who participated in the poll, judged various countries based upon their experience when living or visiting a country. In addition to polling, several people made specific comments of examples that they went through in perspective countries.
I checked the source of the country racist poll information, at two different timeframes or twice being a year apart, just to see if there was any significant changes, but there was not. Many of you know that I have talked about racism in America. I have hammered America about this, based upon what God has led me to do. I also mentioned that God's wrath and judgement is come and will be coming some more because of the racist people in America.
However, according to this poll that I looked at, which by the way is still active for participation, America, or the people of the United States of America are not the only people who have racist character. Now what I said about America is correct, and in the poll, according to over 15,000 participants from around the world the people of the United States of America ranks SECOND as the most racist group of people in the world.
According to the poll, Japan ranks first as the country whos' people are the most racist. This is what I had planned to talk about with Japan several months back, even before their earthquake and Tsunami, and nuclear radiation disaster. That is why I find the poll interesting, because of the disasters that recently occurred in Japan.
The polling was not done by me, but by someone else. The poll lists, from my count nearly 46 countries from around the world. There are other things and places that people put on there as a country, but some of those things are not countries. So, I counted close to 46 legitimate countries.
The TOP 5 countries, by percentage, on the list in rank of having the most racist people to least racist people, based upon over 15,000 people are as follows; 1. Japan 20%, 2. United States 15%, 3. every Muslim country 9%, 4. Australia 6%, and tied for 5. Israel and China at 3%.
All the other 40-something countries has a 2% rank or less. There are many that ranked at 1% or slightly less than 1%. Nearly over a year ago, I looked at the poll and the top 5 were nearly unchanged. Over a year ago, the poll showed Japan at 21%, and the United States at 15%. Some of the comments mentioned that Japan has a closed society and 98% of the population is Japanese, and only 2% are immigrants.
I have not been to Japan, so I am just reporting the polling information. If I go to Japan, not mentioning what race or ethnicity I am, the people may treat me well and equal. However, another thing I notice, like when the earthquake and tsunami hit in Japan, when they showed the country and the people on the television news, you notice that there hardly appears to be no other race of people living over there. So, every time I see that with a country, that is telling of some kind of social problem. It shows that something is wrong with the country as a whole.
Several other countries have more diversity of race or ethnic groups than Japan. The United States, as bad as its' people are do have many different races of people living there. There were comments about several countries in Europe and how racist the people are in Europe. Someone made a general comment about Norway. Norway ranked at less than one-percent on the list.
Very interesting comments someone made about the Netherlands and Dutch people being white-supremist racist. According to the person, non-whites experience in the Netherlands is like living back during the second world war, because they are treated as the new slaves. There was a very adamant or extremely harsh comments made about Italy, Austria and Sweden as having WHITE-SUPREMIST PARTIES in power.
The person said by having such parties ruling the country, Italy, Austria and Sweden are using a form of institutional racism. It is a form of LEGAL RACISM. According to the person, in those three countries just mentioned, it is socially acceptable to be racist and considered not a problem. That is evil and not right and I actually have something to say about that in one of my upcoming world affairs post, when I talk about the killings that took place in Norway a few weeks back. Commenter also believes that France and Spain are moving in that direction of institutionalizing racism in government like Italy, Austria and Sweden.
Going back to Japan, several comments in the poll about Japan stood out to me and got my attention. Again, I want to point out, this poll was taken long before, and I looked at it long before the disasters in Japan in this 2011 year.
There was a comment that suggested in social gatherings in Japan, that the Japanese show hatred and that they are uncomfortable with foreigners, especially foreigners from the United States of America. There was several comments about the United States, particularly the southern part of the U.S. that stood out. Things I have talked about before.
Another thing, being a closed society is not always the right thing to do. If you are closing your society, because you want to preserve the ways of Yahweh/Jehovah God and live in righteousness by God, then that is good. Although, I need to edit in here to clarify that statement; that if a person or stranger is willing to repent of their sins, and believe and accept Jesus as Savior and Lord of their life, and they conform to the ways of God with all sincerity of heart in a timeframe, before it is too late, then that person or stranger should be allowed access into that Godly society.
Such a society should have outreaches to bring people in. So, the society is not totally closed, but closed to wickedness and unrighteousness, as mentioned in the Bible in the book of Revelation Chapter 21: Verse 27. HOWEVER, it is WRONG to close your society based upon skin color or different ethnicity. Exclusion, segregation in social gatherings and unequality based upon hatred and fear towards a person's race are things that God hates and are a sure way to land one's self into the jaws of hell.
I just wonder if God was exposing something. Japan got a triple beating. I still do not know who got it worse, Japan or Haiti. You know, anytime you see a place, GET REALLY TORE UP, like Japan recently did, and I also want to make mention of the tornadoes that tore up parts of the United States, know that more likely those places really angered God.
The Lord spoke to me, REPETIVELY,(emphasis on repetively), back between 2002 and 2007, that what happened in America with the tornadoes was going to happen. Another thing, about America, in terms of God's judgement on or against you, Yahweh/Jehovah God is NOT finished with you yet.
By the way, I have never experienced or lived in any disasters; and I thank God for that. However, there are plenty of evil folks around me, and I have prayed and asked God to NOT spare a place of evil or wicked people just because of me.
I just wonder if those two earthquakes and Tsunami and nuclear fallout in Japan was some of God's judgement on Japan for being what appears to be a hateful and closed society. With all the recent tragic devastations that happened in Japan, it is now very important for the people of Japan to be open to receive as much help from foreigners as possible to try to recover from those devastations.
