5.
a) no, the largest group, Australians, make up
less than 50% of the population, thus, there is no single majority ancestry in
Australia.
b) Australians are the
largest group, Indians are the smallest group of the top 10.
c+) it most closely
resembles the UK one, due to the disproportion between the top ethnicities, and
the lower ones, with the two top, English and Australian, making up approximately
70% of the Australian population, with the other 8 ethnicities sharing the
remaining 30%
where as in the UK, it
is not divided by ethnicity as accurately, and all white people are combined
into one category, which makes up 87% of the population, with all the other ones
sharing the remaining 12.5%
(If we were to combine
all white nationalities in Australia, we would end up with a very similar
statistic for Australia, as all the top 6 ethnicities of Australia are
considered white.)
d+) the ancestry of
Australia is mainly European, with non-Europeans making up as little as 5% of
the population.
It is hard to compare
Australia to other nations, due to its history, but it is within reason,
considering it is a former European colony.
It is also worth
noting that most of the non-Europeans in Australia, are from nations that have
been either wholly, or partially, under British rule in the past.
