10 Worst Countries for Racial Equality
Reflecting how much countries' values have changed in the past year, the 2021 Best Countries report introduces a new ranking: the best countries for racial equality. The ranking was developed using the racial equity score a country received and connecting it to the more than 17,000 survey respondents who agreed moderately or strongly to the statement that "A country is stronger when It is more racially and ethnically diverse."
The Netherlands, Canada and New Zealand are seen as the three best countries for racial equality, respectively. But the United States finished among the bottom 10 in the ranking. In November 2020 the FBI announced that hate crimes in the country had risen to their highest level in more than a decade.
Here are the bottom 10 countries for racial equality, ranked by perception, of the 78 countries ranked in the 2021 Best Countries report.
