Most Racist Countries In Asia

The Top Ten
1 India India, officially the Republic of India, is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country (with over 1.2 billion people), and the most populous democracy in the world. Its capital is New Delhi. Some other major cities are Mumbai, Chennai, and Ahemdabad. The most spoken languages are Hindi and English, but there are 22 official Indian languages... read more

They are known for being pretty racist against dark skin..they recommend using skin bleaching...they are also racist against Non-Indians and other tribe/ethnic groups in India. A lot of its caste related, if your a light skinned Bollywood star you're on top, if you're poor and dark, you're on the bottom

As an Indian I'm very disappointed to see that India has been ranked the second most racist country. I don't know on what basis and who got to decide this.
I live in Mumbai and sometimes when I go out I see foreigners being given the utmost respect be it a black person or a white person. Sometimes they are treated even better than the indigenous people because there is a saying in India,"athithi devo bhava" meaning a guest is equivalent to God.

India is NOT racist. They respect each and every backgrounds and religions. Whoever put India number one for being racist, then you must have mental issues to deal with. Indians (some of them) are very lovely and kind hearted people. That's my ethnic!

2 Israel Israel, officially the State of Israel, is a country in Western Asia. It is situated on the southeastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea and the northern shore of the Red Sea, and shares borders with Lebanon to the north, Syria to the northeast, Jordan to the east, and Egypt to the southwest; it is also bordered by the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to the east and west,... read more

Elitist population. They want to create a "Jewish state" which means they dislike other groups, and create some sort of "Jewish supremacy"

Israel is a disgusting country, every time I hear its name I think of hell, they are these rich racist bastards that can't control themselves. That's why many people betrayed Israel, plus they hate black people, they should be #1 the arabs aren't doing anything, I am Jordanian and I'm surprised to see the UAE on number 7 I've lived there for 3 and a half years and nothing bad has ever happened to me. Plus one of my emarati friends is best friends with another American, everybody shut up Israel is the worst cruelest country in the world period

Israel was founded by European colonists as an extension of white supremacy. I think that aloneshould make them the most racist country in Asia.Furthermore, they have committed more war crimes on Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon than any country in the world and that is saying something given what the US and UK have done.

3 Turkey Turkey, officially the Republic of Turkey, is a transcontinental country in Eurasia, mainly in Anatolia in Western Asia, with a smaller portion on the Balkan peninsula in Southeast Europe. Turkey is bordered by eight countries with Greece and Bulgaria to the northwest; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan and Iran to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the south. The... read more

Turkey is pretty diverse. Istanbul is more European and "progressive" under Turkish standards. Rest of the country is conservative, backwards, sexist, and they hate Non-Turks or Non-Muslims

No feeling, no feeling at all is like racism, me, personally, I have faced a lot of racism situations in turkey, life here is so cruel, spiritually being devastated every single day in this country, they always, I mean always, throwing some racist words and phrases to you no matter where you come from, just because you don't look like them, without saying a single word, nor a look; they're always ready to make some comments about you personally, you're costume, you're language, and every thing about you, maaan, I need a whole page in a newspaper to write and explain my self in it, just made me hate my whole life and made feel like I'm none.

Turkey is one of the most racist countries of the world. 4 of the 5 parties in parlament support oppression of the kurds. The parties AKP, MHP, Iyi Party and CHP all have followers or members of the grey wolves, a very racist movement that supports the oppression of non turkish people and the turkifikication of non turkish people. There existed and exist numerous laws against non-turkish language. Leyla Zana has been in prison for 10 years because she spoke in kurdish in favor of the fiendship of kurds and turks. many people have received juridical accusations because they have declared publicly their support of peace between kurds and turks.

4 Japan Japan is an island country in East Asia in the Pacific Ocean. It lies off the eastern coast of the Asia Mainland (east of China, Korea, Russia) and stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and near Taiwan in the southwest.

Japan has a huge capital city called Tokyo, other cities in Japan include Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Osaka, Nagoya and Sendai. It's close to South Korea,... read more

Its 98% Japanese. They like visitors...just not foreigners moving there. Why can't people move to Japan? Is it too expensive? Is it too hard to culturally adapt there? The thing is there birth rate is declining and they need immigrants to work, to help the economy boom, more people moving in means more money

It's more xenophobic than racist. Japanese people have an ideal drummed into them from birth that they are the supreme race and others should be feared for the bad influence they have on their perfect way of life. Foreigners will always be outsiders and never truly accepted as part of their society because they cannot comprehend the intricacies of Japanese culture.

Yeah...they be doing too many hate speeches against Koreans in general. No wonder it causes so many anti-japanese setiments in Korea because of those

5 Myanmar Myanmar (formerly Burma) is a Southeast Asian nation of more than 100 ethnic groups, bordering India, Bangladesh, China, Laos and Thailand. Yangon (formerly Rangoon), the country's largest city, is home to bustling markets, numerous parks and lakes, and the towering, gilded Shwedagon Pagoda, which contains Buddhist relics and dates to the 6th century.

This country is fighting a century long civil war along ethnic lines. The nation also has committed several genocides against minorities

Very poor country, has a lot of ethnic tension. Many leave as refugees

6 South Korea South Korea, officially the Republic of Korea (ROK), is a country in East Asia, constituting the southern part of the Korean Peninsula and sharing a land border with North Korea. Its western border is formed by the Yellow Sea, while its eastern border is defined by the Sea of Japan. South Korea claims to be the sole legitimate government of the entire peninsula and adjacent islands. It has a population... read more

Its 98% Korean. They are racist against Non-Koreans and very Nationalist. They need to take in immigrants cause their birth rate is super low, they are also sexist and old fashioned

Foreigners in Korea no matter how long you've lived here, who you've helped, what you have helped South Korean achieve. A foreigner of western countries will never be allowed to do as they have seen others do. But Koreans are quick to use the phrase'when in Rome do as the Romans do'. Those others are Korean and they are only human as Koreans are quick to point out when speaking to a Westerner. Still Koreans think they are the only human people on earth. My feeling if a person (a westerner) wants to feel cheated, stolen from go to Korea. Even those Koreans who have ability in English usually stay in the Western country where they've attended school or university. While the other Koreans return home to Korea to teach what they have never learned.

7 China China, officially the People's Republic of China, is a country in East Asia. It is the world's most populous country, with a population of more than 1.4 billion. China spans five geographical time zones and borders 14 countries, the second most of any country in the world after Russia. Covering an area of approximately 9.6 million square kilometers (3,700,000 sq mi), it is the world's third or fourth... read more

Racist against anybody not Chinese, very nationalist, brainwashed stupid government, tons of censorship and poor human rights. Shame on you, China

I am Chinese, I can tell you that China isn't racist against black people, jews etc, but they just hate when people keep trying to gain independence from China, its not really their fault, if you don't know anything about china then don't rate on stereotypical views, please. Yes, I know China banned uyghur education and tibet is literally one of the least free countries in China but Chinese people aren't that racist and don't really hate any kind of people, if there were some people who hate other races, it will probably be americans. No, they don't hate blacks, these misconceptions are thanks to the americans who hates chinese and are racist against black people.

Chinese hate Japanese, hate Black people, except when they play basketball, they hate Americans, hate Africans, and hate Koreans and Tibet Nepal. India and Philippines people they hate natives Chinese and hate dogs because they eat them

8 Syria Syria, officially the Syrian Arab Republic, is a Western Asian country located in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Levant.

It is currently ranked 160th in the Institute for Economics & Peace's Global Peace Index, making it one of the most dangerous countries in the world (behind only South Sudan, Afghanistan, and Syria).

Arabs are known for being pretty racist. They dislike non-Arabs and non-muslims, if you're dark skin, African, Sudanese, not a muslim, FORGET IT

Iraq should be number one instead of India!

Iraq is very racist and very aggressive.

Occupying 652,864 square kilometers (252,072... read more

Sad, poor country, plagued by war. A lot of the "racism" is just ignorance cause they don't know anything outside of their Afghan, backwards culture

Afghanistan people are very rude, stuck up, hypocrites, very lazy and this is why America is in war with Iraq as well as Afghanistan (Wait! Are they? I'm not sure).

Afghanistan's are commonly known to have pure misery and rudeness in their hearts. They're just as aggressive as both Iranians and especially Iraqis.

The Contenders

North Korea is the third most... read more

This country should be number one. They perform forced abortions on women who are impregnated by Chinese men.

This country threatens to nuke SK, Japan, and russia. they say that americans are evil and that the rest of the world has ruined it

Very nationalist, like South Korea, but more extreme. People are brainwashed, they need to know the truth.

Due to the monarchical system, the wealthy folk here are more snobby and egocentric than any French person. As well as some of the most pious and devout religious people. And I'm not saying that as an attack people, me and my family are sunni Muslims from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

Saudi Arabia some people are racist but not all I'm Saudi and I stand against racism and many Saudis do infact many Arabs do please understand that

Monarchism creates class dictatorships.Its another holdover from dark ages.

You guys say some about Indonesia not racist because you guys never feel like us

Like the white people like me and the black people I born and grew up there and my entire life people so racist to me like they always ask why I'm white why you that why you this I can't stand it no more and kid in Indonesia is really disrespectful to the older so for you say Indonesia its not racist well you want to think about itu again

I was a daughter of foreigner, I am japanese-indonesian, I have a pale skin and people often called me corpse or even make fun of me and my family, as you know that in indonesian history, japan invaded indonesia, but I was just trying to be friends but they mocked me and told me to go back to japan ;-;

Just look at what the government here has been doing to the native peoples of West Papua since 1963, killing over a half million of them and you will think they should be number 1.

16 Qatar Qatar, officially the State of Qatar, is a sovereign country located in Southwest Asia, occupying the small Qatar Peninsula on the northeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula.

I'm Qatari and I agree that some people in Qatar are racist But not to the extreme. Just because some people in the country are racists doesn't mean that they are all the same. I personally stand against racism and I know that there are many people in Qatar are against it. Gradually we change and develop our way of treating other races. I strongly disagree with Qatar being the no. 1 racist country in Asia

I strongley disagree the people there are very nice and they are awesome and very polite so that is my opinion when I went to Qatar

17 Malaysia Malaysia is a Southeast Asian country occupying the Malaysian Peninsula and part of the island of Borneo. It's known for its beaches, rain forests and mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian and European influences. The sprawling capital, Kuala Lumpur, is home to colonial buildings, busy shopping districts such as Bukit Bintang and skyscrapers including the iconic, 451m-tall Petronas Twin Towers.

Read up on Bumiputera policies. enough said, goverment ain't even hiding it here about how racist the country is. They always say about how Chinese are sucessful but most of the Chinese and Indians I've met from Malaysia are fed up and migrated elsewhere, since money isn't everything and they want to be in an actually equal country. Malays don't recognize their how spoiled they are and always talk about Malay power, yet most of them are lazy and fine with mediocrity. No wonder this country seems so garbage even though its been free from most warfare for almost 6 decades. At least neighbouring countries with weaker economies are rapidly developing, sooner or later Malaysia will be rightfully left in the dust.

What are you talking about? Most Chinese people here are rich, most Indian people here work in the professional sector. Amongst ministers there is the Chinese and Indians. It is better than Singapore and Indonesia government, duhh.

18 Iran Iran, also known as Persia, officially the Islamic Republic of Iran, is a sovereign state in Western Asia. The capital city is Teheran and the major city is also Tehran. The country's official language is Persian.

Iran is home to one of the world's oldest civilizations, beginning with the formation of the Elamite kingdoms in the fourth millennium BC. The country's rich cultural legacy is reflected... read more

Iran isn't acutually racist. People here are actually very friendly. For one, people actually greet you there, and just wave. The race issues that they do have come from the fact that they are not very diverse. Almost all are ethnically Persian. And do not call a Persian an Arab, they hate each other, and will take extreme offense. Even as a Muslim, I say the reason it has it's several issues is because it is a religious government. Religion cannot be in politics under any circumstance.

Sorry for my english...
I'm Iranian. We're not racist.
Actually We respect to all people around the world and we're hospitable to tourist in our country and love them. We don't think persia is the best phylum by the way.

They are very nice when I went to Iran the people let me inside their houses and gave me some of delicious Iran food and they are very polite and very kind

Yeah pretty racist to the Chinese but not as racist as China itself. Like they don't go as far as putting someone in a washing machine. Overall Philippines is not that racist.

Philippines should be number 1, I have traveled to many Southeast Asia countries but Philippines is the worst with racism, don't just stay for few days or a month, please stay in Philippines for at least 6months and tell the people you don't have money and live in a small cheap place, Pinoys(Philippines people) will run away from you, first they will come close to you asking you questions to know your worth, drain you to the last pesos(Philippines currency) and run. they call foreigner monkey, animal, fools and smile to your face, if you don't understand them you think they love to death. oh don't forget mentalityin the country that will definitely upset u, Philippines is the country I have been to that everyone have thesame mentality from the highest educated to the illitrate but just modified to fit the circumstance. popular say in Philippines "foreigners are rich, so let get some out of them"

I don't know for what reason but they hate Filipinos.

24 Vietnam Vietnam, officially the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, is the easternmost country on the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia.

They hate black people because of their culture. In literature, fairy tales, poetry, music,... people with black skin are ugly and evil while white skin people are heroes. They don't have the notion of yellow skin in culture

Every few years there are riots against its Chinese minority

25 United Arab Emirates The United Arab Emirates, or simply the Emirates, is a country in Western Asia (The Middle East). It is located at the eastern end of the Arabian Peninsula and shares borders with Oman and Saudi Arabia, while having maritime borders in the Persian Gulf with Qatar and Iran. Abu Dhabi is the nation's capital, while Dubai, the most populous city, is an international hub.

One of the countries where you find citizen exclusive services. These disgust me. The amount of time you're required to have your ID checked in UAE is more than the count of your hair strands.

I am an christan Indian labour, I lived in UAE (Dubai) from 1990, and the people there are so kind, and not racist at all. Although, I am not Muslim, they invite me to eat beside them in ramadan for a whole month.
