The Telegraph :
Swedish economists have stated that India, Jordan and Bangladesh are among the least tolerant countries in the world, while Britain is among the most accepting.
The World Values Survey asked respondents in more than 80 different countries to state the type of people they did not want as neighbours.
Over 40 per cent of respondents in India, Jordan, Bangladesh and Hong Kong said they would not want a neighbour of a different race. The British were among the most tolerant, along with former colonies the United States,
Canada, Australia and New Zealand. People in Latin American counties were also prepared to embrace racially diverse neighbours.
The data from the survey by Niclas Berggren and Therese Nilsson was mapped by the Washington Post by Max Fisher. In India, 43.5 per cent said they did not want someone of a different race as their neighbour. In Jordan it was 51.4 per cent, while in Hong Kong and Bangladesh, over 70 per cent said someone of a different race was their biggest concern in a neighbour.
