Topping the list of least xenophobic countries in the world is Sweden, which is unsurprisingly open to people of other nationalities, be it as their neighbors or even when they could take the jobs that would otherwise go to the local population. Maybe this is why Sweden was so surprised that its citizens who lived in Britain were the victims of severe xenophobia in the wake of Britain’s exit from the European Union. A 100,000 Swedes reside in Britain who are now unsure of their future in the country.
