Percentage of people who did not want people of a different race as neighbors: 11.2%
While most people from Kazakhstan, the next in line on the list of least racist countries in Asia stated it would not be an issue for them if their neighbor belonged to a different race, controversy emerged when a footballer for a national club, Mickael Antoine-Curier, stated that he suffered from blatant racism, a claim which was refuted by the coach of the club, who pointed to Kazakhstan’s history of hosting people from different colors in peace and harmony to support his statement.
