KEY QUOTES:
"Britain is one of the most racially tolerant countries on the planet, a survey claims. The global social attitudes study claims that the most racially intolerant populations are all in the developing world, with Bangladesh, Jordan and India among the worst."

IBTimes UK: "Britons led the field, coming out as the most tolerant nation, alongside the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. South American countries also registered high numbers of people who said they would be happy with racially diverse neighbours."

Daily Mail: "Other English-speaking countries once part of the British Empire shared the same tolerant attitude — fewer than five per cent of Britons, Canadians, Australians and New Zealanders showed signs of racism."

India Today: "People in the UK are also tolerant of other differences such as speaking a foreign language or practising an alternative religion — for example, fewer than two per cent of Britons would object to having neighbours of a different faith to them."

Good.is / The World Value Survey Map: "Countries in the Middle East and Asia were found to be the least racially tolerant. Latin and Anglo countries were the most racially tolerant. Jordan and India were the least racially tolerant."

SCOPE: The study covered 80 countries over approximately three decades of WVS waves. "By contrast, Western countries were most accepting of other cultures with Britain, the U.S., Canada and Australia more tolerant than anywhere else."
