Rejected petition Add an “Asian British - Nepali” section in legal government sites

In legal government websites, there are options like “Asian British - Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Indian, Chinese.” But there are no “Asian British - Nepali” options. Sure there is an “another asian background” option but there are about 100,000 Nepalis living in the UK.

More details

This needs to change, especially for the future generations, loads of Nepali kids were brought up here, they got taught Nepali culture and speak Nepali, the population of Nepali people living in the UK will increase.
