Decision overturns 20-year-old precedent and could trigger immediate release of 92 people, with detention of 340 others also in doubt

    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.

        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?

      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.

          are varied as fuck and based on income more than any other factor.

          Yes, I’m talking about ethnic diversity.

          Nearly half the country lives in just two cities, and the other 50% in like 3 more.

          Where do the minorities tend to live?
