Why back I was coding a patient system for a hospital and part of the stats were to record ethnicity of patients. (Actually useful medically too in some cases).

There are different codes for (simplifying here) British Black and Black British and the distinction is one the patient (or respondent) makes.

(BTW I was not privy to the analysis of the figures. And I wouldn't share them if I was.)

There are differences between gender and race, some more obvious. But there is not a difference in value. We should learn to embrace and utilise the differences but never use those differences to denigrate or devalue any group.
