> Sweden has just 9 million people, and they're very homogenous.

The population has no impact when we're looking at per-capita statistics.

Canada and Australia have the highest immigration rates in the world, so their homogeneity is going down, yet statistics like these are not going up.

That's silly. Compare Sweden to Washington State, which is similarly sized, more diverse, and has the second best infant mortality stats in the US.

The point is that Sweden is a cherry-picked comparison.

Choose any other OECD country then. The results are the same.
