Bollocks! This is the greatest country in the world.
One of the reasons it is the greatest is because of it's diversity and being so cosmopolitan and welcoming to nations from all around the world. Immigration is one of our strengths. Do we have more racists - probably. In part that will be because of said immigration in others it's taught from people who may have felt threatened a generation ago, but the tide is definitely turning and the best way is to continue to evolve and keep educating. Even Scandinavian countries have their pockets of issues and they're usually assumed to be among the most progressive. New Zealand would be low, but they don't let anyone in! You tell me where is better and I'd assume there will be a direct correlation in their demographic.
I think you've maybe gone all in in defence of the country there. The country isn't the worst in the world by a long stretch but it's by no means the best, either by 'soft' measures or metrics that are listed and ranked.
Compared to many countries we are largely tolerant and stuff like racism, sexism and homophobia is going down. The fact we notice it when it happens doesn't make us a terrible country, just that in many others where these views are far more prevalent it's not seen as a problem.
But in many other areas we still have big problems and some are getting bigger. Disparity between the haves and have nots is growing ever wider and those in charge don't see it as a problem because they buy into the class system that makes them believe the upper and middle classes are superior and more intelligent than the working classes. Corruption and allowing people to use the system to avoid taxes is increasing. Internationally our reputation is sliding fast, where Johnson is seen as a buffoon and the UK's Trump while things like Brexit are highlighting a massive lack of leadership and competence.
