Pakistan one of the least racist countries in the world: Survey

[farhan_9909]

Pakistan has been ranked as one of the least racist countries in the world, according to a report in the Washington Post.
Data tabulated from the World Values Survey, compiled by two Swedish economists, implied that Pakistanis was among the more racially tolerant countries.

The surveyors asked respondents in more than 80 different countries to identify the sorts of people they would not wish to have as neighbours. Some replied, "people of a different race." It was concluded that this question could serve as an accurate indicator of racial tolerance in different countries.
Merely 6.5 per cent of Pakistani survey respondents objected to having a neighbour of a different race.

The data showed that Anglo and Latin American countries were the most tolerant in the world. Respondents were the most receptive to having racially diverse neighbours in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

India, Jordan, Bangladesh and Hong Kong were the least racially tolerant countries, according to the data. Only three countries out of the 81 surveyed had more than 40 per cent of respondents say that they would not like to have a neighbour of a different race
.
43.5 per cent of Indians, 51.4 per cent of Jordanians, 71.8 per cent of Hong Kongers and 71.7 per cent of Bangladeshis were termed "racially intolerant

Meaningless if 100% of Pakistanis object to a neighbor of a different faith.

[Vishwarupa]

Indeed pakistan cannot be racist, if they are racist nobody will come to pakistan for Terrorism training.

pakistan is known for Terrorism Training & people from all over the world come to pakistan for this Training. Imagine pakis starts abusing them they will lose business.

dominance in what sense?well democracy is about majority.they are more..they are half the population of pakistan.ofcourse there will be more of them in army as well as in politics

though pashtuns outnumber them in army vis a vis the population of pashtuns in pakistan

Hate and racism is different.whole world hate israel but this is not termed racism.

A pure example of racism in the world is the castes system in hinduism.which eventually has given birth to the modern day racism

other example of pure racism include the beating up of indians in australia or the killing of jews by hitler.these are some prime examples

Caste and Race are two different things.

Care to share your reasoning on this ?

very much.but caste is one of the prime reason for racism.atleast in india.please dont deny this.we all know about shurdas and the racist remarks made against them by superior brahmin

Care to share your reasoning on this ?

well because Hinduism has given birth to caste system and is there since the ancient time..and shurdas are considered inferior since than.so this indeed is the oldest example of racism i can put here.

:why: .. Again, Caste is not Race.

please dont deny this.we all know about shurdas and the racist remarks made against them by superior brahmin

Either you're watching too much propaganda or you're stuck in a time warp.
Visit India and tell me how many Shudras you see insulted by the brahmins.

well because Hinduism has given birth to caste system and is there since the ancient time..and shurdas are considered inferior since than.so this indeed is the oldest example of racism i can put here.

Wrong Shudras are not considered inferior in Hinduism. They are unique part of the society, just like any other.
They were considered inferior by some supremacists who had their own reasons (cling to power) to do so.
Whoever had such a prejudice in past, did not get any sanction for it from Hinduism.
India is a Hindu majority country and her represenatiaves from all walks of life brought in caste based reservation system.
If our people were against each other's upliftment and were discriminatory, that would never have happened.
Who is powerful today in any society .. politicians, religious leaders and army .... or is it the service class people doing 9 to 6 jobs?

Majority of the systems and institutions in this world (democracy included) have been abused in misuse by few people drowned in power lust or hatred. Caste system is no exception. We don't just tag all the systems, institutions as evil.
Caste system wasn't rigid in ancient times. It went rigid in medieval times. And what we see functioning in modern times is again a fluid system.

Please do the above (in blue) and then explain how anything you saw was leading even close to your conclusion.
India is a diverse and ancient land. Books of Pakistan studies that proclaim Hindus as Kafirs, are not enough to study India or Hinduism.

He mixes caste and race when it suits him but refuses to admit that Shia/Sunni/Ahmedia/Sufi etc etc are nothing but castes of Muslims.

@farhan,

How is caste racism?

All the different castes are from the same race or not?

@ Farhan,

Here is something from Pakistan

Jat: Landowners; they add with their first name the name of "Chaudry", "Shima",''Raja''
(it is not systematic). One finds this same caste at Sikhs.

- Rajput: Princes, but landowners in great majority. One finds this caste among Hindus.

- Arian: The oral tradition said that they are descendants of the army of Ibn Qasim, whose troops had been created in Perse. They are originating in Perse and became with time landowners. One finds this caste only in Panjab. They add with their first name the name of "Chaudry", "Mian", "Mair", sometimes "Khan."

- Shaikhs: Tradesmen, they are downward Arabic; they add with their first name the name of "Malik."

- Kashmiri: Of origin of Kashmir, they form a caste in Panjab, make various trades as tradesmen, butchers, foremen... They add with their first name the name of "Goal."

- Kakayzai: Tradesmen. They add with their first name of name of "Malik."

- Qazi: The oral tradition said that they would go down from the Afghan soldiers. They would have since the beginning exerted the function of monk. Currently it is a caste land great landowners; it is very largely represented in the administration and the bureaucracy. They add with their first name the name of "Qureshi".

- Pathan: Descendants of pathans, they form a caste in Panjab, they make various trades as civils servant, tradesmen...

- Gujar: Herdsmen, and often landowners.



The "small castes" is as follows:

- Tarhan: Carpenters.

- Qamyar: Potters.

- Lowar: Will forge.

- Kassaï: Butchers.

- Mirassi: Travelling musicians, troubadours.

- Mautchi: Shoe-makers.

- Tobi: Launderers.

- Darzi: Dressmakers.

- Jalaye: Tisserands.

- Lahari: Dyers.

- Mashqi: Water carriers.

- Teli: Oilcans.

- Balwalai: Messengers.

- Naï: Hairdressers; they are also able to make small operations, they circoncisent the new born ones and are cooks during the festivals and the marriages...

- Fakir: They are nourished by people of the districts where they live, in exchange of all kinds of odd jobs (to wash the crockery, to prepare the narghile...).

There shouldnt be any castes at ALL !!! We Are All Muslims !!!
