I think this far too low level of detail to the point of being invasive - we are not taking a census. I think we should stick to the high level headings - White; Mixed / Multiple Ethnic groups; Asian / Asian British; Black / African / Caribbean / Black British; Other Ethnic group; Do not wish to declare
. Tracking ethnicity is fine but not to this level of detail:
White: English / Welsh / Scottish / Northern Irish / British
White: Irish
White: Gypsy or Irish Traveller
White: Any other White background
Mixed / Multiple Ethnic groups: White and Black Caribbean
Mixed / Multiple Ethnic groups: White and Black African
Mixed / Multiple Ethnic groups: White and Asian
Mixed / Multiple Ethnic groups: Any other Mixed / Multiple ethnic background,
Asian / Asian British: Indian
Asian / Asian British: Pakistani
Asian / Asian British: Bangladeshi
Asian / Asian British: Chinese
Asian / Asian British: Any other Asian background
Black / African / Caribbean / Black British: African
Black / African / Caribbean / Black British: Caribbean
Black / African / Caribbean / Black British: Any other Black / African / Caribbean background
Other Ethnic group: Arab
Other Ethnic group: Any other ethnic group
