2. Russia

White population: around 121 million

With nearly 200 ethnic groups Russia is one of the most ethnically diverse countries. Using Wikipedia list of ethnicities living in the country, we estimated that there are around 121 million white residents.
European Value Survey showed that 15.8 percent of Russians wouldn’t like to have as a neighbor a person of different race, which is the highest number among countries on this list. At the same time, according to WVS 2010-2014, 17.2 respondents expressed racial intolerance. Russians show similar religious narrow-mindedness. There is a growing concern among Orthodox Russians about increasing Muslim population which will account for one-fifth of all population by 2020. Even Vladimir Putin, former Russian prime-minister and today’s president, went as far as to urge Russians to “have more sex” to preserve country’s orthodox identity
