Oh some of the French are highly racist, I mean they vote their equivalent of the BNP into the top two placings, and that's ludicrous to me that anyone would vote for a party that extreme.

But tbf to all of the countries that have been mentioned in this thread, is there a European nation currently more racist than Italy?

I remember how some of them used to treat Mario Balotelli (a fellow Italian) just because of the colour of his skin.

Here's an article from 2019 https://edition.cnn.com/2019/11/04/f...spt/index.html
