Pakistan one of the least racist countries in the world: Survey

[shhh]

Salman taseer was not killed for blasphemy. He sought reforms to blasphemy laws.

Nope that was how the pro Taseer presented it.
You know who else proposed the idea of reconsidering the blasphemy laws? the current chairman of CII! Council of Islamic Ideology.

Taseer was killed because he "defended" a blasphemer who had actually admitted blasphemy.

Example is we welcome traitors like nawaz and zardari what you expect than

Ok...so the Washington Post actually made a correction

Correction: This post originally indicated that, according to the World Values Survey, 71.7 percent of Bangladeshis and 71.8 percent of Hong Kongers had said that they would not want a neighbor of a different race. In fact, those numbers appear to be substantially lower, 28.3 percent and 26.8 percent, respectively

. In both cases, World Values appears to have erroneously posted the incorrect data on its Web site. Ashirul Amin, posting at the Tufts University Fletcher School’s emerging markets blog, looked into the data for Bangladesh and discovered the mistake. My thanks to Amin, who is Bangladeshi and was able to read the original questionnaire, for pointing this out. His analysis is worth reading in full, but here’s his conclusion:

The short answer is, yes, someone did fat finger this big time. "Yes" and "No" got swapped in the second round of the survey, which means that 28.3% of Bangladeshis said they wouldn’t want neighbors of a different race – not 71.7%.

26K Facebook likers and 2.5K Tweeters, take note.

Amin adds, “Bangladeshis are a tolerant bunch — it’s ok to come visit.” The error in the Hong Kong data, first discovered by Chinese-speaking users on Reddit, was flagged by Engadget Chinese editor Richard Lai. Ng Chun Hung, a University of Hong Kong professor who was the principal investigator on World Values' survey there, confirmed via e-mail that the data had been transposed on the survey company's Web site. He added that he has written the World Values Survey team to alert it to this and ask it to remove the faulty data. My thanks to him, as well as to Lai and the Reddit users who dug through original Chinese-language survey forms to demonstrate the error.

And what position they hold at being religious nuts ?

 

[marbella]

Portugal is among the least racist countries where most people avoid marrying gypsies. Chinese are called chinokas, indians indios, pakistani pakis, bengali monhes, brazilians brazookas. The only good thing is that they dont get bombed during their religious festivals and never get moblynched for eating beef.races sects and castes are .....

He defended a piss poor mother of 5 wrongly accused of blasphemy

Who admitted blasphemy, a piss poor mother of five should not commit blasphemy and should not shamelessly admit it too.

Three women were having arguments over why the christian woman(illetrate) shouldnot touch the same utensil as Muslims do you really think she commited blasphemy or did the bigotry of her neighbours forced to accept something out of fear?

She admitted it. Cooked up stories will not change this fact.

We already have a mix of various ethnic group so i guess we are just used to it.

It's mostly due to our strict rule of "religion above all else" ; ethnicity is becoming a thing of the past - nowadays when you see a Punjabi, Kashmir, Pashtun and ect... you see no difference at all.

I think you are confusing race with ethnicity.

Race and ethnicity are not one and the same

Indians, Pakistanis, Iranians, Turks - all belong to the same Aryan race but have different ethnicities.

 

[Dzz]

Yes, because both Indians agree with the result and Pakistanis agree with the result.

Must have missed the memo cos I sure has hell ain't agreeing here.

Pakistan has been ranked as one of the least racist countries in the world, according to a report in the Washington Post.

Data tabulated from the World Values Survey, compiled by two Swedish economists, implied that Pakistanis was among the more racially tolerant countries.

The surveyors asked respondents in more than 80 different countries to identify the sorts of people they would not wish to have as neighbours. Some replied, “people of a different race.” It was concluded that this question could serve as an accurate indicator of racial tolerance in different countries.

Merely 6.5 per cent of Pakistani survey respondents objected to having a neighbour of a different race.

The data showed that Anglo and Latin American countries were the most tolerant in the world. Respondents were the most receptive to having racially diverse neighbours in the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

India, Jordan, Bangladesh and Hong Kong were the least racially tolerant countries, according to the data. Only three countries out of the 81 surveyed had more than 40 per cent of respondents say that they would not like to have a neighbour of a different race.

43.5 per cent of Indians, 51.4 per cent of Jordanians, 71.8 per cent of Hong Kongers and 71.7 per cent of Bangladeshis were termed “racially intolerant”.

It turns out that there idea of a country-based-on-ethnicity wasn't really good at all .
It is updated report by the way.

agreed.....

 

[Areesh]

Its past and its always good to remember to avoid mistakes in future.. even in personal lives its helpful

Asking other to avoid mistakes while defending same mistakes in your "atoot ang". Story of a bharati troll.

 

[shhh]

You are delusional, so it is not unexpected.
Indians here agree that they are racist.
Pakistanis agree that they are not.
Simple.

 

[SrNair]

Pakistanis are not racist ?
How many times we have seen their same line of 'evil hindu dark short baniya'?
In India there is no racism but castism .
