That’s pretty inaccurate as well. Australia is diverse, but we don’t explicitly track ethnicities demographics so you’ll never find an official figure

To quote the wiki and ABS stats

Although the ABS does not collect data on race and ethnic background, various studies have put together results of the census to determine the ethnic composition of Australia, the Australian Human Rights Commission has estimated the European population at 76% of the Australian population,[20] while a media diversity study put it at 72%, the non-European proportion was 21% and 23% respectively, and the Aboriginal Australian population at 3% in both

So roughly 25%.

Add to that 30% of the population is born overseas (compared to 13% US), so 1/4 people you meet will be diverse in a non-skin identifiable way. And 50% of the country have at least one parent born overseas, so families are pretty diverse.

Fun fact, we’re also the only country in the world with a higher rate of Americans immigrating in than we are going to America.

Yeah, I wasn’t claiming it was a highly accurate source, and I was surprised that we rated so low based on those calculations, so thanks for the additional analysis. I just found it hard to believe that Sweden would be “dealing with diversity” more than Australia (or at least, in any significant way). Maybe there’s more nuance to Sweden’s numbers, too?

Saying Sweden has to deal with diversity sounds like a massive dog whistle about Muslims tbh. Assume the America inclusion is much the same.

They’re probably just some racist wanker now that I come to think of it.

Seems plausible.
