You are certainly brave in setting up this poll. I once had to set up an Equal Opps monitoring system and called in an expert to help me with categories (very important as it was for public use by an organisation). We concluded that the safest option was simply to ask people to write in what they considered their 'race' (or ethnic origin as it tends to be called here) to be!

I think I know where tgwbs may have got stuck, as 'Asian' in the UK usually means Indian/Pakistani origin, whereas in most other countries it means Chinese/Pacific Rim.

Anyway, what's the next poll? I'm finding these interesting!
