switzerland? we’re 25% non-citizens which is the highest rate in europe (excluding microstates). Has caused some reactionary stuff though hence the rise of the racist far right party.
That’s compared to 7-8% of the US population for example. Or 12% of the German population (though getting german citizenship is easier than getting swiss citizenship).
Yes that’s definitely a part. But we also score far higher than other european countries on percentage of forgien born population and a bunch of other metrics. You can’t deny Switzerland is extremely multicultural.
Though our diversity tends to be majoritarily european and western. I think we have a smaller black or arab population than our neighbours.

tbf a big reason for our high share of non-citizens is just that citizenship is much harder to acquire than in most other places
