Hong Kong tops the most intolerant of other races list

[Gruntfuttock]

hongkongers may not want foreigners' as neighbours, but most of them have a foreigner [domestic helpers] inside their home..

That's simply not true. There are about 2 million households in HK and about 400,000 helpers. That's not "most" or even close to it.

I am a local Hongkonger and I see racism on a daily basis and believe me it does exist out of pure ignorance and prejudices.... and encouraged by the general media.The Government does little to enforce anti racism laws and education and no political party will take this up as it is not a popular vote grabber.
I cringe in the media portrayal of browns and their stereotyping.
Just look at the stupid advert for maids or the blackening/browning of faces in entertainment programs just to get cheap laughs.
In drama series, they are usually portrayed as terrorists or some poor smuck following a dai lo.

Education is the key to reducing prejudices and the Government should have more minorities in senior positions.
How many minorities do we see in any of the political parties?

The aboriginal in Canada was in a similar, but different position. The compensation from the Canadian government was to pay them each $800/month to live off and were sent into suburbs. They weren't allowed to trespass into the City. My Mother used to do business in a Canadian suburb and see these very obese aboriginal killing themselves with alcohols using their free money. They later compensated the aboriginals - still - the damage has been done - and that's probably the reason why the Gov voted Gaza out more so than US pressure since their hands were as dirty as the Israelis.

In the US, the whole Chinese thing didn't start until around 2005ish. The main issue at first was an economic threat - so they have these media doing some serious brainwashing. The people don't actually have much opinion about Chinese and groups were always separate, but when even the media says it like it's like the most normal thing to say, it gets instilled. And unlike Australia, the young is as bad as the old.

FYI, DG is a Canadian. Hippie/'redneck' whites are generally more racist.

Gotta love all of the deniers on here. You all know how locals look at brown and black people here. You should talk about how wonderful HK is to an Indian girl whom people get in an elevator with and block their nose with their fingers. Or the African guy who went to dinner with his Chinese girlfriend's family and ended the night without a girlfriend after the family told her that they would disown her if she didn't break up with him.

I do find the results for Aus and the US surprising, if the respondents were being honest, but I think ppl from these two countries have been taught not to answer this kind of question honestly.

You do realize that accusing a whole population of being racists is also exactly that... How's that for irony...

Where did you get whole population from? The survey says 72% are racist.

How does that sound when someone says something like: "You all know how locals look at brown and black people here"

Mirror, mirror who is the fairest of them all

The migrants in a century ago or a few decades ago is ok

I am still waiting for evidence that these people create social problems... and no youtube videos are not evidence!!
Just another racist rant!

Even if a Hongkie did answer "no" to this question I don't think they are likely to turn into some kind of neighbour from hell should some foreigner move in next door.

In what serious ways does this purported widespread racism manifest itself?
