Morning Consult examined how American society, culture, and politics are perceived around the world.
A survey of 1,000 people from 17 countries was conducted from October – December 2022.
Key findings include:
1.) English-speaking countries that are predominantly white had the highest negative perceptions of race relations in the United States.
— 57% of Canadians, 55% of those from the UK, and 53% of Australians said that race relations in the US were “poor” or “terrible.”
2.) Views were more mixed in wealthy non-English speaking countries.
— Just under half of the respondents in Japan and France rated U.S. race relations as “poor” or “terrible.”
3.) In 14 of the 17 countries surveyed, the share of adults who said “people with darker skin are treated worse by ordinary people in the United States” than in their own countries exceeded the share who said people with darker skin are treated “better” or “about the same.”
