4. Germany
White population: around 81 million
Using CIA ethnic profile of Germany, we estimated that there are around 81 million whites living in the country. However, while CIA estimates that Turks, a largest minority group in the country, account for 2.4 percent of the population, other sources say that they constitute up to 5 percent of the population.
Along with Italy, Germany is the country with the cruelest history of racism. On the surface, it seems that Germany puts a lot of effort to distance itself from Nazi ideology and to make amends. However, a recent anti-refugee demonstration against people fleeing from war zones actualized the question of racism in the country. In 2013, Spiegel, renowned German weekly news magazine, talked to 15 people of foreign descendants about their experience of racism in the country. Their stories confirm that racism, sometimes overtly, sometimes covertly, is present in Germany in almost all corners of life – from streets across real-estate to job market.
