People overestimate the percentage of immigrants in their country

translation: There are people conjuring thoughts like "I've seen one too many brown people".

Also unsurprising where the sentiment is coming from:

Who are all the people immigrating to Australia?

Malaysians, Chinese, indians, I've even met a couple from Timor
- It's also a common destination for upper middle class families on latinamerica, because you can pay in doing an MBA and getting a job.
  
  I don't agree, I see Latin American people in lower ranks but not often and never met one in management position besides myself. And I can spot them from big distance and even separate them from Philippinos who tend to have the same last names.

We've got people from all the continents, but mostly Asia.
Earlier this year at work each team put out a flag for each team member, and across like 100 flags there was surprisingly little repetition besides predictably China and India. Australia was maybe in 5th place.
My team has 15 people and we joked that our only Australian was a diversity hire.
We do software development in case you didn't guess yet.
