White and Hispanics in North, Central and South America are least prejudiced people on earth is what it tells me. England and Australia too

And democrats want us to think white people are so prejudiced

Of course that is true. But the data has to be interpreted with that prism. Capturing racial attitudes is different fundamentally than capturing whether open racism is a culturally acceptable viewpoint. Everyone already knows it is not a culturally acceptable viewpoint here so this isn't some bombshell.

Just once I'd like to see someone on the Left accept some good news about America like it's actually good news rather than qualifying your praise. You live in a great country. It's okay to acknowledge that. It's okay to love America.

They want money. They know white westerners are likely to have it. It's not rocket science.

Dude, they have a hardcore caste system

It’s not really the traditional thing anymore though. It’s more of a class thing. Also India is made up of different ethic groups. Almost every state has its own culture and language and many are not fond of the other.

An Indian will glady push another down to get to the top. I mean that literally too.

I imagine the Hindu/Muslim conflict has a lot to do with India’s high score.

WaPo is confusing me as this doesn’t fit their agenda supporting liberal self loathing.

Also, didn’t Charlize Theron just tell us that America is intolerant and racist toward her babies?

Dude your own link provided the same qualification. Also, I'm capable of loving America knowing it's flaws. You don't have to be blind.

I can just hear you now as you introduce your wife. This is my wife. She's great. She's also a little overweight and snores at night. She cheated on an exam once in school.

Do you do that? If not, why not?

Second question, why do you feel the need to disparage America every time you say something good about her? Do you really think the rest of us are laboring under the illusion that America is perfect, so it's up to you to point out that she's not? Seriously?

Not sure what you mean. As I said, your link provided the same caveat I did.

I see his opinion. I don’t see him quoting the authors of the study

He quoted the article. I based my comment on that. I don't have a WaPo account so can't read.
