Almost every non-mostly white nation is surprisingly multicultural. You see: you often encounter Canadians or Britons claiming they are very multicultural or even calling themselves a melting pot. The truth is that that, they do have large number of immigrants, but if you breakdown the ethnic composition of the whole country, you will see that they are actually rather homogenenous. You know: most speak English and have European ancestry, hence they always use the word minority to refer to those who bring “diversity”. Canada’s case is nuanced by Québec, which they have historically culturally oppressed as well as the First Nations.
In most countries in Africa there is no absolute majority, in much of Latin America most people have different degrees of admixture with local cultures being influenced by former indigenous cultures and subsequent waves of European and African immigration. In most of Asia, you can see that most of the population are even trilingual and belong either of two to three ethnic groups that make up the country’s ethnic composition.
Then you will see that the most culturally diverse country is Papua New Guinea and then the African countries around the equator:
I would say that Papua New Guinea’s case is very intriguing: a very tiny land with not too many people, but an incredibly large number of ethnic groups, more than 800.
