Rejected petition Officially stop the categorisation of peoples based on the colour of their skin

In all official and corporate documents, the categorisation of peoples should be done using continental ethnicity or similar (e.g. Asian, African,etc). For the posterity of our multicultural society, Parliament should ensure all relevant documents (and e-documents) are updated to reflect the change.

More details

There is more to a person than the colour of their skin. Today, our society cannot continue to perpetuate actions that further divide and enrage a part of itself. The compartmentalisation of peoples by the colour of their skin only entrenches a form of discrimination we must move away from; the British peoples are only the better for it.
This change is required for all government and corporate (application) documents and e-documents as could be seen in the recent UK Census 2021 web portal.
