Canada definitely, Australia can be pretty racist towards blacks, ditto south africa.
America in the other hand is pretty much race obsessed but not as racist as some people might like to believe(excluding some areas). The case of European nations is different, some countries might seem tolerant(north and west europe) against immigrants, but those immigrants will be never seen as native, they will always remain as being foreign in some way, not matter how they look like. |

there are two levels. tollerance and openess. I think its something like someone mentioned before about USA- north-south division. You can tolerate someone, but you do not want to have anything to do with him, keep away, or you can be open and be interested in someones culture, traditions etc.
However, it takes two to tango, immigrants need to be open to local people, not only local people open to them. I observe this in UK, that it is often far from reality. Some immigrants look down to British ( or European in general) culture and they will tell you endless stories how beautiful landscape, lovely food and nice people are in their native country, it is just very weird that if they like it there so much why are they here. On the other hand, some people try to assimilate too much, which looks pretensious, I think a healthy balance is the best way. |

I'd say Canada. However, we don't give immigrants special priviliges and that might make liberals elsewhere think we're intolerant. You can keep your culture here, but you have to respect the culture of others. ![]() |

In the U.S., racial differences correlate with economic status, and this is what makes people more intolerant. The economic status of minorities are getting better though. I think in Canada, most racial and ethnic groups have similar economic status, and that's probably why they get along better. Just my guess.

Not sure where you live in Canada, but in Toronto all cultures sort of integrate together, that's the beauty that we have here, yes there are places likes Greek town, Little Italy, China town, etc, but there's no segregation like how major diverse American cities have, it's kind of amazing how we're able to pull it off here and everyone gets along with a very low crime rate, makes me proud to be a Canadian The only thing is in NS there is a pronounced difference between rich and poor, but ethnicity is not a factor. Rich people live with rich people and poor people live with poor people - and they don't associate with eachother. Also, if you come from a poor family in NS, it is very hard to move up in society. If you're born in the ghetto, you're doomed to the ghetto because no matter what degree you have you're going to be discriminated based on the address on your resume and you won't get hired. This is why so many well educated Maritimers from poor backgrounds headed to Alberta and hit it rich. It's a big problem. |

Here in my country i think cause there's not a massive amount of inmigrant they see them as something exotic and see themselves more curious about learning more about the individual. However i think haitians, and chinese they integrate just fine. however homosexuality is not seem as something cool in most part of the country however in places like Mexico City and Guadalajara haven't seen hate crime towards gay people

depends, people in the dr don't tolerate homosexuality and can be pretty conservative in some aspects compared to countries like the us and canada. Don't know about the rest of the Caribbean though |

Probably Canada. Maybe that's why they're so developed.
England also seemed very tolerant for me. The mix of cultures there is incredible and people of different ethnicities deal well with each other. You can dress the way you feel well, act the way you like, and nobody is gonna look down at you on the streets. In Brazil if you dress in a different way, or act different from other people, they treat you as if you were an alien and laught at you. Nice that nobody claimed "Brazil" to be one, it seems that the myth of racial democracy already came to an end. Brazil is the land of hypocrisy where people do not respect other peoples' rights. People are racists, even if they have African features, and most people are openly homophobic and think that it's normal. Not a surprise in a country where 30% of the population can't barely read a text and understand its meaning. Brazil has to run about 100 years to reach the level of countries like Iceland or Finland |
