    Just a reminder,
    the US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and all other nations of South and North America are
    what South Africa would have been if the apartheid government would have eliminated the ANC.

    Choosing Japan, Estonia, Latvia or even France over the Anglo-Empire nations is not understanding the type of world we live in today.

        What @Ghost of Faso is saying was not I meant, although that counts, but I was more referring towards the idea that US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand are simply geno-colonies.
        What I argue as that colonizers declaring independence from their former empire does not make the country colonial free.

        When did Zimbabwe stop being a colony, 1965 or 1980?
        When did South Africa, 1931, 1961 or 1994?

        My view is the latter on both of them.
        I find it really odd to consider Rhodesia 1965 to be colonial free when it was ruled by supporters of the greatest colonizer of the African continent.

    Besides the main imperialist countries, Estonia and Latvia are basically apartheid states, and Denmark has laws limiting “non-Westerners” to 30% of a neighborhood.

    I think its America, only because it projects the most racist Imperialism. You can be as racist as you want, but if you are not imposing it, you are far less racist than the ones that impose on others.

      So true! I wouldn’t call it the most racist country on Earth, but it’s definitely in the most racist countries on Earth. I can elaborate if some people are curious :)

    I think at a certain level of badness, arguing who is that much worse than whoever else is meaningless. It’s like debating whether the apoclyptic blizzard covered the neighbourhood in 4.1 or 4.2 metres of snow.

    Depends how you define worst, in my mind, countries that have active and ongoing apartheids or apartheid adjacent systems, all make the list of most racist/oppressive of ethnic groups, so the following hit my list:

    • Estonia
    • Latvia
    • Israel
    • Malaysia
    • Myanmar
    • Saudi Arabia
    • United States

    This isn’t saying there aren’t other racist/shitty country, but these are the big ones imo.

    Unfortunately the answer to this question is just not so obvious as one might imagine. Pretty much every country is racist in a way that depends on its own culture.
