Are my children white British or white European ?

Which box would you tick ?

I am white European and always tick the white other or white European box. I don't have a British passport. I could have one, I just haven't done it yet. I've lived here for 20 years.

My husband is also white European and ticks that box, even though he has a British passport and was born here. He also has a European passport.

Which box are our children ? They have British passports, so I think they're ' white british '.

However technically, heritage wise, they're not British at all. Heritage wise, my kids are 100 percent European on both sides.

I was ticking white other for them and realised that I'm probably ticking the wrong box !

What do you think ?

Whichever you feel you want to tick. Given what you have shared I'd probably tick European though.
