You obviously missed the entire point of the OP
Sorry but I didn't. The poster said Fujimori was Japanese. Not that he was Peruvian of Japanese descent. I pointed out that he was Peruvian first and foremost. The OP aside I added clarification.

Yeah I get it but it sure in the hell isn't painfully obvious. You definitely have to dig here and the common denominator here is European based people. Canada, U.S. New Zeland, Australia are by far away the most accepting people
I doubt very much that it has anything to with European-based people being more accepting than other people. The European explorers (White people) encountered accepting Black, Brown, Red and Yellow people all over the globe. The bottom line is that since the Industrial Revolution, Western nations have been more prosperous than non-Western nations, and people tend to migrate to prosperity, not away from it.

Past history? What the hell does that mean?

He's MIXED.
How many Black people do you know who aren't?

Europe, Canada and Australia have the best chance of being diverse

We are the least racist country in the history of the world
This is one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever read on this board, and all you have to do is look at our history to see what I'm talking about.

Not necessarily unfounded IMO. A lot of them are rotten MF's
Way to lump them into a group and profile their behaviors
Also, get a bunch of White Canadians drunk and ask them their opinion of the lebanese.

But I still think it's fair to say that racism still exists in the USA when you look at the statistics for income, education, and other social and economic variables.
That's egalitarianism. Human races are not equal.
It's all about IQ and cultural norms. Always has been. Always will be. Nothing govt. can do about it.

Also think it's fair to say that a lot of that is self-inflicted. Income is highly correlated to Education. If you look at current standardized test scores by race, there is a difference - and it starts in the home.
The black population represents 13% of the overall population, yet it also represents 26% of the children in single parent families in the US.
Don't get me started on murder rate.

I don't which nation is the least racist, but the Scandanavian countries all have better histories than the U.S. when it comes to dealing with non-White people.

Could it be because there are not a lot of crips and bloods in Norway?

Of course I am. What other criteria would you use to judge a nation?

"Past history" is what this entire thread is about. We can only speculate about the future.

Ehhhh Australians can be pretty damn racist. They had pretty bad race riots(as in whites rioting) against the Lebanese immigrants (I think it was Lebanese) in Sydney around 2005.

Not to mention the whole Aboriginal situation makes modern day America look pure and innocent by comparison.

I have no idea what you're talking about but do you agree with my assertion?

Wasn't Stockholm engulfed in race riots a couple of years ago?
ETA: yes it was LINK
