Strange how they speak of integration and I’ve noticed this in a lot of applications, the lists posted for ethnicity as shown in post 49.

Any Chinese Background
Any Other White Background
Arab
Asian Bangladeshi
Asian Indian
Asian Pakistani
Black African
Black Caribbean
Declined To Declare
Mixed Asian And White
Mixed Black African And White
Mixed Black Caribbean And White
Other Asian Background
Other Black Background
Other Ethnic Background
Other Mixed Ethnic Background
White English/Welsh/Scottish/Northern Irish/British
Surely it should read as an example out of the above list
English / Welsh / Scottish / Northern Irish / British Mixed Black Caribbean and White.
After all most of those applying WILL be second or greater generation immigrants who were born in the U.K. so by definition ARE English/ Welsh / Scottish / Northern Irish.
To list them as the Services have done infers that to be “English / Welsh / Scottish / Northern Irish / British” means you have to be white. So much for racial integration.
