Posted on behalf Rachel Hollamby Saying ‘mixed race’ I’ve always felt uncomfortable with this, both words.. And I really think, can’t we just be simpler and fairer and plainer speaking… We say someone is black, we say someone is white, these are big general vague terms… Can’t we also say someone is black-white Or asian-white Or asian-black Or asian-black-white Or whatever that individual person is. Going in alphabetical order so there is no suggested preference. If they have more and that does get a mouthful after 3, then then then, that person might for ease prefer to say group heritage (or mixed heritage / mixed ethnicity / mixed). I imagine only for police purposes would there be a need to describe someone as an umbrella term ‘mixed race’, as they can’t stop a suspect whilst chasing them to ask what ethnicity they are… So can’t we just have ‘dual or group ethnicity’ for them - shortened to their IC6 or whatever it is… I really think this is it guys, I’ve cracked it…, let’s set it in motion x x x x x x
