In England and Wales, the 2001 census included four sub-categories of mixed ethnic combinations: "White and Black Caribbean", "Mixed White and Black African", "Mixed White and Asian" and "Any other Mixed background", with the latter allowing people to write in their ethnicity. Analysis of census results shows that, in England and Wales only, 237,000 people stated their ethnicity as Mixed White and Black Caribbean, 189,000 as Mixed White and Asian, 156,000 as Other Mixed, and 79,000 Mixed White and Black African.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.statistics.gov.uk/articles/nojournal/Mixed_ethnic_groups_pdf.pdf|title=Who are the 'Mixed' ethnic group?|publisher=Office for National Statistics|date=May 2006|first=Ben|last=Bradford|pages=4, 8|accessdate=21 August 2010}}</ref> |

Mixed is an ethnicity category included in the 2001 United Kingdom Census. Colloquially it refers to British citizens or residents whose parents are of two or more different races or ethnic backgrounds. Mixed-race people are the fastest growing ethnic group in the UK.
Statistics
In the 2001 census, 677,177 classified themselves as of mixed race, making up 1.2 per cent of the UK population.[2] Office for National Statistics estimates suggest that 870,000 mixed race people were resident in England (as opposed to the whole of the UK) as of mid-2007, compared to 654,000 at mid-2001.[3] It has been estimated that, by 2020, 1.24 million people in the UK will be of mixed race.[4]
3.5 per cent of all births in England and Wales in 2005 were mixed race babies, with 0.9 per cent being Mixed White and Black Caribbean, 0.5 per cent White and Black African, 0.8 per cent White and Asian, and 1.3 per cent any other mixed background.[5]
Mixed-race people are the fastest growing ethnic minority group (defined according to the National Statistics classification) in the UK and are predicted to be the largest minority group by 2020.[6]
Subgroups
In England and Wales, the 2001 census included four sub-categories of mixed ethnic combinations: "White and Black Caribbean", "Mixed White and Black African", "Mixed White and Asian" and "Any other Mixed background", with the latter allowing people to write in their ethnicity. Analysis of census results shows that, in England and Wales only, 237,000 people stated their ethnicity as Mixed White and Black Caribbean, 189,000 as Mixed White and Asian, 156,000 as Other Mixed, and 79,000 Mixed White and Black African.[7]
The estimates for mid-2007 for England only suggest that there are 283,000 people in the Mixed White and Black Caribbean category, 114,000 Mixed White and Black African, 261,000 Mixed White and Asian, and 212,000 Other Mixed.[3] The White and Black African group grew fastest in percentage terms from 2001 to 2007, followed by White and Asian, Other Mixed and then White and Black Caribbean.[3]
The census forms in Scotland and Northern Ireland did not include sub-groups, but rather single categories: "Any Mixed Background" in Scotland and simply "Mixed" in Northern Ireland.[8]
Associations
There are several associations in the UK that help promote mixed-race heritage and raise awareness of issues relating to mixed ethnicity. [citation needed]
