Australians are some of the most racist people on the planet.

I've noticed, the less diverse a population is, the more racist they become while the rest of the world focuses on nations who actually have to deal with diversity. US, Sweden, etc.

As an Australian, I honestly don’t disagree with you… but suggesting Sweden has more racial diversity than Australia?! From what i can see, Sweden has “6% diversity”, whereas Australia has 9%. Not a huge difference, granted, but completely different ballpark to USA (49%), and if this is your measure, Australia still “beats” Sweden.

How are you 'measuring diversity'?

Are you including the entire country, or just certain parts?

If it's the entire country, then Australians still don't have to deal with diversity because most of their minorities live away from the white people.

I’m not measuring it, just quoting another source. I just wanted to find some numbers to try and understand how Sweden and Australia compare.

If it's the entire country, then Australians still don't have to deal with diversity because most of their minorities live away from the white people.

You make an excellent point.
