> is a monoculture of ethnically similar people, has basically no immigration to speak

This isn't even true (immigration accounts for half of Norway's population growth) but let's take a more extreme example: Sweden, the country with 7th highest quality of life on planet Earth yet every 1 in 11 people is an immigrant. This single case proves your generalization wrong. Every 16th person is a first generation immigrant originating from outside of Europe.

You seem completely ignorant of the fact that we took hundreds of times more immigrants per capita than any country on Earth yet we all dominate the fuck out of ALL of quality of live rankings.

Norway's population grew under 50,000 which means they welcomed 20,000.. Cities like Toronto are welcoming 10 - 15 times more people from a much wider variety of places.

The ethnicities in Norway are recorded as Norwegian 83.2%, other European 8.3%, other 8.5%

Your vision of Norway and the numbers don't lineup. 92.9% of people are white..
