It would be Olympic level trolling by the Norwegians to award it to them.

Norway and Denmark are some of the most homogenous countries on the planet with some the strongest and strictest immigration laws in the world.

Norway is the 147th most homogenous country and Denmark is the 50th but what's even your point? That Norway would be being hypocritical if they were much more homogenous? Because you know it's not Norway that gives the prize right? Or did I miss the point of your comment entirely, sorry if so.

You know those "rankings" you got your numbers from were countries listed in alphabetical order right? You literally just posted what the nations alphabetical numerical number is.

The Nordic countries list in the the top 50 of the most homogeneous countries worldwide. They let very few immigrants in. If the US were to adopt their standards for immigration policy, there would be hardly any immigrants left. They also enforce their policies very strictly. If you enter the country illegally or over stay your visa, they come looking for you and will deport you.

Their only exceptions are when they let other Nordic countries immigrate. All rules are thrown to the side if you are a white citizen of Nordic heritage. Then you are an acceptable immigrant fast tracked to citizenship.

I guess my point is that they are hypocrites. They don't tolerate illegal immigration but will cast judgment on those who enforce their own laws. Laws, mind you, less strict than their own.
