KEY NOTE from World Population Review:
"Though neither study is generally considered definitive, these results provide an indication of the prevalence of racism. In this format, India emerged as the most racist country surveyed, followed by Lebanon, Bahrain, Libya, and Egypt."

The site also notes: "India ranks as the most racist of the countries included in the study."

The article warns about "limited country coverage and the difficulty of measuring racism via surveys."
