I think it's pretty similar in most of the "western" world.

Switzerland and Sweden do not have race issues.

As probably my only serious answer here today, I say no. Probably need to break it down into poverty. When you are worried about your child starving to death, TODAY, you don't look for a boogeyman.

In 'first world' countries, the man in charge is usually looked at as the cause of troubles.

Swiss have recognized romansh as official language. 60,000 native speakers in se mts. Written latin, a romance language. 7 dialects!!! (Every mt valley).
My favorite romance lang is romanian. Actual latin conjugation of verb to be.

Had a Finland exchange student a couple years ago and her family has stayed with us a couple times.... they not down with the brown at all

A few years ago in Italy, they had their first "senate" member that was black. During one appearance in front of a crowd she was greeted with bananas being thrown at her.

European countries like Spain, Italy, former soviet bloc states, Greece, and many others have a lot more racism than in the US. Mostly because they don't have a long history of multiculturalism. Some places like Switzerland and Belgium are different, but for the most part EU countries are more "racist." People in the US have no idea wtf they're talking about when they negatively compare our "bigotry" to other countries.

They also have different groups than here in the US that they discriminate against. Romanians and Albanians are a big problem there. Middle easterners and Africans in general are also becoming more of a problem.

There was more outward racism/prejudice in Europe than here but its a little different. There really aren't many blacks at all. There are middle eastern but they are all first or second generation. There is a big problem with failure to assimilate.

You also have to remember that the US is one of the most racially diverse places in the world (at least South US). Most modern countries are fairly homogeneous.

Generally, I have found and all conversations I have had on the topic with folks who have lived abroad will say that the rest of the world is far behind the US in terms of racial issues. Most of the world still judges skin color and ethnicity even more so than the US.

There is an active push to get rid of all white countries across the western world if that is what you mean

Isn't Japan one of the most racist and xenophobic places on the planet?

You never hear them get shite about it.
