Replace 'white' as an ethnicity with 'beige'

Petition Details

I want a more accurate description of the lighter human skin tone made available on application form questions around ethnicity.

Additional Information

No one is white skinned in colour. This inaccurate description was only introduced as a means of identifying with purity and superiority. Beige is a more accurate description of the lighter skin tone and includes no racist undertones or connotations.
