An Australian man has spoken out to express his shock after returning to his home town of Perth only to find himself heavily outnumbered by foreigners.
The man, who asked to stay anonymous, told Noticer News he couldn’t believe his eyes while walking through the Perth city centre one weekend last month, and shared footage of the experience.
The video of Murray Street Mall lasts for almost two minutes, but only a handful of White faces can be seen in the crowds of people, who are mainly of Asian or Indian subcontinental appearance.

“I took this footage last weekend as I walked through Perth city,” the stunned local said.
“Hadn’t been there for ages and what I saw blew me away.
“To say we aren’t becoming a minority in our own country is ludicrous, I don’t even recognise my home town anymore.”
Western Australia’s Labor state government has been lobbying Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for more international student visa spots since last year, and wants a higher allocation of visas under the Commonwealth’s State Migration Program.
Premier Roger Cook sent an official mission to India late last year to try to attract more foreign students to the state, and the Housing Industry Association WA led a delegation to the Philippines last month to try to attract more immigrants.
HIA WA boss Michael McGowan said the state had a shortage of about 8,000 skilled workers that could be filled with foreigners.
“HIA recently led a delegation of builders and contractors to the Philippines to support a greater understanding of the skilled recruitment and migration process,” he said.
“The three-day-tour was highly successful with many of the delegates making arrangements to return in the near future.”
