Which country is the most racist?
Answer: That's a very subjective question. How do you quantify something like "racism"? To an extent, racism exists in every country, but many countries have a more extensive history of racism. Most would say the U.S.A. or Israel. The U.S. should be near the top of the list for 1) the way it treated Native Americans from the 1700s to the present, and 2) its legacy of black slavery. Also, the entire drug war is based on racism; the very first opium laws were a response to racism against Chinese immigrants, and the first laws against cannabis were a response to racism against blacks and Mexicans. Most Americans had no clue that the foreign-sounding word "marijuana" actually referred to cannabis/hemp.
Israel, because of its open genocidal policies towards the Palestinians, who occupied that country first, should be at the top of the list. It is unconscionable and disgusting. The Israelis are the new Nazis, and the whole world knows it, but is afraid to do anything because Israel has nukes, and its policy is to use them if anyone threatens them.
Answer: It's very hard to state which is the most racist country as population makes a difference as well as the diversity of a country and other factors. Also, since racism is a complicated thing to pinpoint because of its many forms, you can't ever really place a label of "most racist" with any country unless you were also pointing out specifically what kind of racism; i.e. most racial slurring, most covert racism, most racial hate crimes, most racial ignorance, and so on.

What are some examples of prejudice or discrimination against Mormons?
When Mormons would run for presidential candidates, most people would probably not vote for them because of their faith.
Mormons is often compared to Jews and Muslims.
I would discriminate against a Mormon standing for a position of authority because of the pact that he claims to believe in something that defy logic I would suspect that he uses others that are Mormons to give him a base following and finance and would try to spread his influence from there. I don't believe an intelligent person believes the tripe espoused by any church. therefore they can not be honest or sincere.
