From the reading: Who Are You, Really?
In 2021, the UK census added a new option. People could now describe themselves as British-Nigerian, Chinese-British, or any other hyphenated combination. Over 1.5 million people chose one. That number surprised almost everyone. It should not have. Identity is changing fast. People no longer want a single label. They want two — or three.
