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.

You make an excellent point.
As an Australian who's travelled a fair bit I'd say the level of racism in Australia varies depending on where you are and most parts of the world I've visited are more racist than the major cities of Australia. But that's just my personal observation.
Isn't that a fairly racist / prejudice comment in itself?
There is a difference between race and culture even if we tend to use the same words for both. I have a friends who is racially Chinese but was born and raised in the UK so very British culturaly.
You should be telling that to the first commenter. The second person was mimicking the language used above.
It is important to use precise language. “Australians are racist.” is simply false if even one Australian is not…. So you should instead say, “Many Australians are racist.” or “Most Australians are racist.” or “On average, Australians are racist.” Those claims may or may not be true.
Also, if you make a claim like that with no source except your own experience, it’s safe to assume you’re wrong, that you are extrapolating when you should be doing research instead. Australia is a big country and you have met a small fraction of the people in it.
Lol.
