A slightly more modern version seen on applications to various things is sometimes they will put Oriental instead of Chinese.

Also, our Asians are also known as black, alongside people of African or Caribbean heritage. Those referred to as African American, here would be known as West Indian in most cases.

Hope that clears up any doubt that most likely didn't even exist and that no one even inquired about. I apologise as there is absolutely zero news for Marvel in my scale as HASBRO has completely dropped the ball on half Marvel collectors. Wish they had more and I wasn't typing about our semi racist UK ethnic group labels.

Not that this is really the point of this thread, but that's just not true at all!

Firstly, the census, as in most English speaking countries, is self completion, so anyone can put themselves down as whatever ethnicity they identify with.

Secondly, the ethnicity question is broken down into sections - are you white, mixed, Asian or black? Beyond that you get a few further options, so under Asian you can select Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Chinese or other.

Im pretty sure last time I applied for a passport or driving license it was the same so I think you're a few decades out of date!
