Mexicans of pure white European descent represent 9 to 17% of the population (10 up to 19 million in 2010). Most European or "Criollo" Mexicans are of Spanish descent, including Basques, Castilians and Galicians. There are also many descendants of other European ethnic groups, including French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Irish, Polish, Romanian, Greek, Russian, and British from contemporary (since 1821) Immigration as well as many first or second-generation immigrants of Canadian and American descent (since 1900).
Approximately 500,000 people of European descent currently reside in Mexico, making up less than 1% of the country's total population.
Approximately 130 million people live in Mexico. The majority of the population is Mestizo, a mix of indigenous and European descent.

Difficult to say. Traditionally, criollos or white people born in Mexico from European descent enjoyed the highest standard of living, but this changed since the Mexican Revolution (1910 - 1921).Ethnic distinctions no longer apply, as many non-whites have important positions in power and industry. For example, Carlos Slim, the richest man in the world, is a Mexican of Lebanese origin; the Jewish community in Mexico City is also regarded as one of the most prosperous, but many people from this community are considered to be on the middle-class.Unfortunately, it is quite easy to know which group suffers the lowest standard of living, not only in Mexico City but in the nation of Mexico as a whole: most indigenous people of Native American descent are regarded as the most destitute of them all.
Australia was originally settled by Europeans, but the country is now very multi-cultural. People of the various European backgrounds make up the predominant ethnic groups in Australia, but there are many also of American, African, Asian or Middle Eastern descent.
