Sing the petition to Include Latinx/Hispanic as an ethnic group in UK

Petition to Include Latinx/Hispanic as an ethnic group in the 2021 census

  Sign This Petition   

I want the UK Government to acknowledge the huge population of Latinx/Hispanics here in the UK by adding a box allowing us to specifically designate this as our ethnic origin in the census form. We are not white, black, Asian, and certainly not ‘other’.

More details

The UK population is extremely diverse. Census forms having a box for most races/ethnicities allows recognition, understanding and in turn opportunity.

Latinx/Hispanics have a huge population here in the UK, however we always seem to struggle with our identity here, we aren’t acknowledged but simply put into the ‘other’ box. This is not a true reflection of the population. In the USA the Census Bureau lets people identify as Latinx/Hispanic, we want the same here in the UK.
