Include Latin American/ Hispanic to list of ethnic groups for use by Government

Petition Details

We would like the Government to add Latin American/Hispanic to the list of ethnic groups it recommends are used by the Government when asking for someone’s ethnicity: https://www.ethnicity-facts-figures.service.gov.uk/style-guide/ethnic-groups

Additional Information

When filling in official Government forms, we always have to tick the ‘other’ box as there is no option for Latin American/Hispanic.

With an estimated 250,000 Latin Americans living in the UK, and being the 8th largest ethnic group in London it’s about time that this ethnic group was included as an option on official Government documents.

By including this group, this would assist in ethnic monitoring and provide a true estimate as to how many Latin Americans reside in the UK.
