I daresay that Australia and New Zealand are places that white people invaded and then put up barriers to stop too many other people (of any colour) coming to live there.
> There's a real racial asymmetry in the world between whites and nonwhites in terms of building countries people wish to live in.
I think your framing is incorrect - the asymmetry is far more to do with money and power than a shade of skin.
The people who have managed to build countries people wish to live in are Euros or East Asian. Nothing intrinsically to do with their skin colour, of course, but it is a fact that some peoples have done it again and again (and again) and the rest haven't.
