Closed petition Include 'Jewish' as an ethnicity option in the census
Include Jewish as an ethnicity option in the census and subsequently add it to the list of ethnicities on https://www.ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk/style-guide/ethnic-groups.
More details
Jewish people who do not identify with the current options available should not have to tick ‘other. This change will serve as the first step in normalising having Jewish as an ethnic option. Defining Jewish as a ethnicity has become more apparent especially with an increase in DNA testing, where often people receive Jewish as a marked trait or main defining ethnic group.
