It isn't very racially diverse, but has a large proportion of its population born overseas. British culture is separate from Australian culture, just like Polish culture is separate from British culture, even if we have the same skin colour (for the most part).
It is, come here and you'll see. About 37% of people here weren't born in Australia, the highest of any capital, although a lot from NZ, UK which skews stats. In that sense we're whiter than Sydney and Melbourne, but still got tons of others. Like if you go to the city you'll see people from all over walking around.
Of course it varies by area, but in general it's diverse.
Perth isn't multicultural I have to disagree I doubt I'll see people from all over... mainly people from East and south Asia, Europeans and the odd Southern African.
It is completely multicultural. I live across the street to people from the Seychelles. I work with people from South Africa, Singapore, England, Zimbabwe, Zambia, India, Pakistan, New Zealand. Well you get the picture. What do you call multicultural?

It is very racially diverse. Have you ever been here?

No, but I did see the following line on Wikipedia (the source of all knowledge, obviously):
"In 2006, the largest ancestry groups in the Perth metropolitan areas were: English (534,555 or 28.6%), Australian (479,174 or 25.6%), Irish (115,384 or 6.2%), Scottish (113,846 or 6.1%), Italian (84,331 or 4.5%) and Chinese (53,390 or 2.9%)."
I would assume the majority of people from the first five ancestry groups are white.
I don't see why it matters anyway. I doubt you moved there because of diversity, racial or otherwise. Racial diversity is not important at all. Cultural diversity is important to me though.

I call a place multicultural when I can see people from all over the world as soon has i get outside, people talking different languages, ethnic restaurants, while streets dominated by a ethnic minority, a society that sees itself at least partially a "mixed society" and areas where the "natives" see the ethnic minorities as just just another person instead of an immigrant.

Indians makeup less than 1 percent of Perth's population 18,000 hardly multicultural

Lol @ you telling me what you see on the streets of Perth, my hometown I've spent my whole life in basically...
Yes, you'll see those, but also increasingly Africans and even Hispanics, Pacific Islanders.etc.
Let's just say in relative feel it feels like a global city with folk from all over.

That's ancestry groups but doesn't show the diversity that is in the country. There are people living in Perth from all parts of the world and it is very visible.
Australia is a wholly immigrant country except for 2% of the population which is Indigenous. The UK has always had a large native European population that are of UK stock. How would you think that somewhere like Perth lacks diversity when they have Aboriginal, Maori, Greeks, Italians, all the former Yugoslav countries, Dutch, all the Asian nationalities, various African nationalities, South Americans etc. They have people here from all over the world. It has always been a diverse city.

Well I didn't chose to move here but my parents did. I've been here since a child but I've been regularly back to Britain and Ireland. I've got Irish and Australian citizenship so I feel connected to both places.
