Do all this tick box's for ethnicity actually create division in the UK?

Question

I was amazed to see Cornish now has a tick box, all I think this does is create division.

I was British who just happened to have a Finnish mum, now I'm Anglo-Finnish & I want my own box to tick!

For medical things fine, as genetics do have an effect on treatments.

Answer 1

It is in theory to see what our racial mix is.

Do not tick if you do not want.

Answer 2

Well if you ask me ever since the health service has needed all these over paid managers they need to think of something to make it look as though they are important.

Now you have announced this in public i am sure there is a person in an office working on this as we speak.

When your box is complete will this be the Finnish!

Bureaucracy gone insane!!!!!

Why does the National health service need to collect unnecessary statistics anyway?

Answer 3

Croxx - It's because they're too PC to just say WHITE.

Answer 4

Yes I think it does basically.

Its not just the whole tick box thing though, this is just a symptom of a wider problem that constantly rams difference and ethnicity down peoples throats when most really couldn't give a rats a**e.

Answer 5

I never tick any of them and I know somebody who writes Anglo Saxon across the whole thing, that must confuse them lol.

Answer 6

The population of a given country is made up of different ethnic groups. This information is required for statistical purposes. What is all the fuss about?

You are Cornish, with a Finnish mother, that makes you a caucasian.

Yes, there are some illnesses that are race specific, this is also a national health issue.

And the term is tick boxes. You cannot use a possesive form when you are referring to a plural. Nouns ending in x, ch, sh, need -es to make them plural.
