Identity in the UK

Do you tick the British box?

 

Give a form to a group of people and ask them to describe their ethnicity, what's the reaction you get?

A bit of confusion.

"It does not leave me with me much choice," says 24-year-old Iman Amrani.

She was born in Britain and describes herself as Algerian-British.

Her mother is white, from Britain, and her dad is from the North African country.

Scrolling down the UK National Census form she says she finds it hard to find a box for herself.
