What nationalities receive the most discrimination?

Question

Throughout the world, what nationalities tend to receive the greatest amount of discrimination? What about Europe and America? Any reasons why???

Answer 1

Right now I think it's Americans.

Answer 2

I believe it's either Americans or Arabics. Americans are not liked throughout the world because they give the impression that they only care about themselves and only want the best for themselves. I'm Canadian and what's funny is the in America, you can buy a Canadian kit which contains like a flag and stickers, Canadain things so that if your on vacation, you can say your Canadian and not American. Unfortunalty, becuase of 9/11 people blame this tragic event on Arabs. They don't realize that they are good people with good intentions and that a small percent of them are dangerous, just like every other nationality.

Answer 3

In America, I'd say anyone Arabs receive the most discrimination. Not having been around the world, I'm not at liberty to venture forth an answer for the world at large.

Answer 4

Different races were discriminated against in different country's.at different times in this worlds history.
I think in the last 300 years it has to be the black man/woman.Not only here in the US but all over the world. I don't know why,if you do then please tell me.
I have friends of all races and all speak of some form of prejudice that is directed to their respective races.
I am of German ancestry and I have never felt the sting of race hate.Not directed to me by an entire country.I hear people talk on here but most of the times its just talk.I don't feel singled out nor do I feel that the racism of another white is my burden.Its how I act that's important to me ,not others.I am responsible for my actions and I try to keep them above reproach.But it seems to me I hear the strongest hate coming from people that really seem to hate black people.And I simply don't understand that at all.How can you hate an entire race of people??Any race..You know it never occurred to me to put American because I don't think that most of its really hate of Americans its just not really knowing about us that causes the problems.I travel all over the world on business and pleasure and Ive never been treated badly in any country or denied the fact that I was from the USA....And yes sadly the Jews have been persecuted forever,

Answer 5

I can't say for throughout the world, but in Canada, it would be the English-only speaking caucasian.

Thanks to our discrimination laws, when it comes to employment everyone is ahead of the English-only speaking Caucasian, sometimes even if the member of the visible minority is less qualified for the job.

Answer 6

I second what Deuce said. I have a cousin who tried to get into a federal government position in Canada and was told (off the record) by the Human Resources contact that unless he had a pre-existing handicap that was documented, he wouldn't fall into any of the employment equity categories, and wouldn't get hired. He had to be aboriginal, handicapped, or a visible minority.

Answer 7

I think the racism can be targeted at more than just nationalities, I think there is more hatred for religions...Ireland Catholic vs Protestant, Jews vs. Muslims, Muslims vs. Christians.

Answer 8

Jews. They were given real estate bordering Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt. They are resented for that chunk of land.

In the western world, I think it's a Christian thing to harm and harrass Jews.

Answer 9

i'm not sure about "nationalities". I think in this day and age, it is those who "look" muslim (but may be hindu, sikh or just about anything else) that are discriminated against.

Answer 10

They all do at one time or another in a variety of different ways. Somebody always want's to be top dog.
