The claim that the US is the least racist country on the planet is contradicted by the available rankings: an IndexMundi perceived-discrimination survey places the US 13th (5.18) and a racial-equality ranking lists it far from the top, with New Zealand and Norway ranked above it.

This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

What was said

… country is, and how all the systems that are set up are to oppress Black people and brown people, people of color, but then go argue for more brown people and people of color to come to the country. If it's so racist, why they coming? Like, and by the way, it's the least racist country on the fucking planet. Every other country is more racist, ring, way more races, way more races.

What we found

Contradicts. An IndexMundi survey of perceived racial discrimination ranks the United States 13th of the surveyed countries with an average of 5.18, well behind South Africa, Malaysia and Guatemala at the top.[1][2]

Contradicts. A racial-equality ranking listing (2023 data) places the United States at 73, far from the top; New Zealand is ranked 1, and Norway, Canada and others rank well above the US.[3]

Supports. An AMAC opinion article asserts that by most objective metrics the US is the least racist country in the world, but it cites no specific index and is advocacy commentary rather than a rigorous ranking.[4]

Context. A Reddit thread quoting the same 'least racist' framing merely repeats the claim and provides no independent evidence; the post's own passage is the claimant's words and cannot corroborate it.[5]
