If you only read The Mirror, maybe.In the UK the left wing press can be as hysterical and as frenzied as the right wing press, hence people get this overall bad impression of the place.
The UK is actually far more down the middle of your average hand wringing, head slapping extreme political toilet pape... I mean Newspaper.
Read the thread and you'll actually find out that the OP was misleading, and that America is still more racist.You mean Europe isn't the land of perfect everything like some on GAF would have me believe????
I don't think anyone has seriously claimed that. But as a black person in Sweden you don't have to walk around afraid that a cop will murder you for existing, so there's that!

According to a nonsensical and pointless study that doesn't measure racism.
Why does it surprise you?
Isn't anti-black racism especially bad in Eastern Europe?
I don't hear a lot of good things about Eastern Europe
That's the least surprising thing. If I ever visited I'd be terrified of venturing outside the major cities.
Really?
That whole area is super racist you know.
It doesn't surprise me, bad results for Germany (and for France even more so) do surprise me though.
Shouldn't surprise you lol, the whole East are very backwards when it comes to race and equality.
What suprises me is Germany and France. WTF??
I must be really naive then. I have always thought that it was the west that had the major problems when it comes to racism.
I grew up there. Trust me, they're not.France, you're supposed to be the cool country
Why is this post mostly being ignored?
Rhetorical question? lol
What really surprises me is eastern Europe. WTF?
Eastern Germany largely drags the scores in those surveys down. In many parts the percentage of minorities is as low as it is in Eastern European countries (particularly Saxony which coincidentially also has a big problem with large numbers of neo-nazis).It doesn't surprise me, bad results for Germany (and for France even more so) do surprise me though.

Crazy cause 60 years ago black people use to emigrate to France to get away from racism

The USA is candyland compared to other places.

Well this is pretty bad "science", its a voluntary test that is only accessible in English, where the subjects taking the test are coming on their own to it while knowing what the test is about, and it has vastly different data points, like Sweden has over 5000 data points for a population of 10 million, while Spain has a 2000 data points for a population of 46 million.
Technically speaking even the area where the test is being taken isn't verified, but that is really a minor thing in comparison.

Towards black people, an important distinction to make. Towards Romani, South East Asians, etc not so much.
I cannot talk about other countries but in Poland it still very visible, unfortunately.
Europe has been struggling with neo Nazis for longer than the us has, it makes sense.
I love studies. Like the climate change study. Lets make up crap for a living.
This "study" was probably paid for by someone in the US that wants to feel better.
France never liked us though. IIRC didn't they support the confederates during the Civil war?
Implicit association tests are awful, and even if they weren't, the samples for those tests are self-selecting.

This graph is meaningless; completely unfit to make international comparisons of the nature it wants.
After a police-involved shooting, there's often a familiar blame game: Maybe the cop was racist. Maybe the person who was shot really was threatening. Or maybe, the bias that leads cops to shoot affects us all. This week on Hidden Brain, we explore how unconscious bias can infect a culture and how a police shooting may say as much about a community as it does about individuals.
