ummm......... let me drop some first-hand insight here.

i paid a 8-day long visit to Finland with a friend of mine last year.

In Tampere (smaller town, ~220km up north) the populace was somewhat homogenous, but in Helsinki we have seen many immigrants of different color. They were mostly muslim women wearing hijabs and roaming around in groups at shopping streets, and black dudes (seemingly north-african) who all worked in public transport, from janitors to bus drivers.

I would definitely not say the country had an insane amount of new wave immigrants but their presence was really apparent, especially compared to my hometown, Budapest, Hungary, which is notoriously immigrant free, yet one of the unhappiest places in the western world.

I am not saying that places with immigration are happy and without immigration are unhappy, but the opposite isn't true either.

Seems like you can't draw an evident correlation between happiness and immigration, gee whiz, who knew? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ </sarcasm>
