Rejected petition For latinos to be included in ethnicity option when filling a form.

Latinos in the UK share distinct cultural and historical roots, yet are excluded from ethnicity options on official forms. Recognizing Latinos as an ethnic group ensures visibility, accurate data, and fair access to services and representation.

More details

The Government should formally recognise Latinos as an ethnic category on all UK official forms, including the Census, NHS records, school forms, and equality monitoring. This change would ensure accurate data collection, proper representation, and fair access to public services for the Latin American community.
