I think that we should have a general Ethnic groups of the United Kingdom page, seeing as we have done several individual groups. --βjweþþ (talk) 18:02, 1 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This topic could be problematic, like List_of_ethnic_groups. There are over 60 ethnic groups defined by the UK census, which is by no means a comprehensive list. Many of the categories are problematic, and a lot are simply nationalities and countries. You'll also get people including 'Geordie', 'Scouse', 'Cockney', 'South Londoner', etc. I will probably support a more clearly defined topic, but at the moment I can't see how Ethnic_groups_of_the_United_Kingdom will differ from List_of_ethnic_groups. zzuuzz ^(talk) 12:39, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is going to be groups in the UK List_of_ethnic_groups is all around the world. Also, it won't just be a list. --βjweþþ (talk) 16:24, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I agree I'm afraid. We have minorities of pretty much every group in the UK - we don't have a grip on ethnic group within the context of the UK anyway. Do you need to have a connection with Modern Celts to qualify? Secret london 11:56, 11 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
