Between 2019 and 2021, the majority of the African respondents reported that they would strongly or somewhat like to have, as neighbors, people who had ethnicities other than theirs (62 percent). Moreover, some 28 percent of them indicated that they would not care if their neighbors were from different ethnic groups. On the other hand, only nine percent marked that they would dislike having ethnicities other than theirs in their vicinity.
Would you like, dislike, or not care to have neighbors from other ethnic groups?
This survey considered 34 countries. The data are weighted to ensure nationally representative samples. When reporting multi-country findings such as regional or Africa-wide averages, each country is weighted equally (rather than in proportion to population size)."
Respondents were asked the following question: "For each of the following types of people, please tell me whether you would like having people from this group as neighbors, dislike it, or not care: People of a different religion? People from other ethnic groups? Homosexuals? Immigrants or foreign workers?"
