9. Argentina
White population: around 42 million
According to CIA Factbook, 97 percent of the country’s population is white, which makes Argentina one of the whitest countries on our list in terms of the share of white residents in the total population. Other non-white groups in Argentina include Amerindian and mestizo.
Among countries on our list Argentina showed lowest levels of racial intolerance on WVS 2010-2014, when only 1.9 percent of participants said that they wouldn’t like to have a neighbor of a different race. However, even in a country whose citizens seem tolerant and open for different races and cultures, occasional racist incidents happen. Earlier this year, Argentina’s president, Cristina Kirchner, was accused of racism because of the Twit in which she mocked Chinese accent. And around the same time, Brazilian football players complained about racist taunts shouted at them during Davis Cup football match in Buenos Aires.
