The BBC has published a video on a push for more ways to describe ethnicity on the census, the official count of the population. The piece asks viewers how they would describe their own ethnicity on the form.
The BBC published the video on 11 November 2026. It focuses on calls for the census to offer more ethnicity descriptions than it currently does.
The video is a short piece built around that question for members of the public. Readers who want the full details can watch it on the BBC News website.
