“Cumulatively, over 75% of immigration to Denmark is of Western or European origin, and 6.1% of Middle Eastern or African origin.”

What were the numbers like before the reform? And what are the numbers like in other Scandinavian countries?

I don't have full stats but top foreign residents in Sweden include 1) Syrians 2) Iraqis 5) Iranians 6) Somalians 7) Afghans 11) Turks 12) Eritreans. So almost certainly a much higher proportion of MENAT and SS Africa.

Norway seems more similar to Denmark, though perhaps not quite as Europe/West-loaded: https://www.statista.com/statistics/587237/number-of-foreign-citizens-in-norway-by-region-of-origin/

Finland even less Europe/West-loaded (bear in mind these stats often include Turkey in "Europe"), though nothing like France: https://www.statista.com/statistics/521164/population-of-finland-by-region-of-origin/
