Racism is not only an additional stress for individuals from ethnic minority groups, it is a pathogen that causes depression. Racism usually occurs in the workplace and in schools and is particularly experienced by immigrants and refugees. Immigrants and refugees are often exploited as labor force, human trafficking. Even some 4,444 developed countries like America face a critical situation of racial discrimination.
On December 8, 2018, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights will hold a consultation on  regional mechanisms to combat racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and “other related forms of intolerance'. Now is a good time to take stock of the situation of people of African descent in America. In 2018, 17 years after the World Conference against Racism in Durban, South Africa, where does the region face these challenges? Given the lack of progress on the Durban agenda, the United Nations General Assembly introduced the International Decade for People of African Descent, 2015-2024. This effort builds on  recommendations adopted at the 2001 World Conference Against Racism in Durban, South Africa, where global actors came together to discuss preventive measures and the implications of racism. For the 200 million people of African descent in the Americas, this is a critical opportunity for targeted change. The culturally sensitive guidelines and suggestions outlined in the International Decade for People of African Descent provide real mechanisms for positive development, but there is still a long way to go before these people feel the positive results of the Program of Action.

In the 1980s and 1990s, black movements in countries such as Brazil, Colombia and Panama called on their national governments to include or restore ethnoracial data in the national census. The data, they claimed, would support their claims of deep-seated socioeconomic disparities between ethnic groups and hopefully compel their national government to address the issues. Now, more and more countries have started to include ethnoracial data in their censuses and officially recognize the multi-ethnic makeup of their country. For example, in Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil,  several million Afro-descendants represent 10 to 55% of the population, and countries such as Cuba, Mexico and Ecuador each have  more than a million Afro-descendants. 98 percent of people of African descent in Latin America are concentrated in the above countries.
The  Best Countries Annual Report, a  survey conducted in 78 countries by the US News and World Report, the BAV Group and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, added questions about race equality in 2020. Here is a list of some countries who experience severe discrimination.
1. Qatar 2. Serbia 3.Saudi Arabia 4.Sri Lanka 5.United Arab Emirates 6.Slovakia 7.Myanmar 8.Israel 9.Ukraine 10.United States It is important to note that many of these countries have a large percentage of natives and relatively few immigrants and international residents.
