wishful What I think of and call myself when prodded to consider it is British or British Asian and quite frequently, just brown. I'm not sure that how I label myself is another thing to be looked at.
How is it not, though? I have no idea what ethnicity you are from that other than that you hold a British passport and come from Pakistan or Bangladesh or maybe even china or some from some other 'asian' country but are brown. You might be ok with this, but if the fact is that we are trying to label you, can't you see that the powers that be don't really care? You're just in the brown category. But you alluded to that in your strike out, so obviously don't care. I agree with you that it shouldn't matter, but don't you care that they obviously think it matters (hence the need to categorise), but think that brown = one category/one race, but they can't be arsed to say whether it is a country or continent or colour..
If you're black its black African or Caribbean, not Asian/Pakistani/chinese (countries and continents etc), If you're black its colour, if you're brown its country or continent. It must be just me thinking this is weird.
