Hi, i saw your journal linked from three_weeks_for_dw and hope you don't mind a stranger wandering in and commenting. As a British Arab i'm fascinated by the differences in culture between the US and the UK and the attitudes towards Arab citizens. So i hope you don't mind if i subscribe to your journal, as i've found your posts very interesting.
They're currently still debating the options for next year's census here in the UK, and it seems likely that Arab may be one of the new choices, along with Irish Traveller, but the Sikh community are already protesting about their exclusion. To make things more complicated, we have different systems in England, Scotland and N.Ireland, so it can be quite difficult to get accurate data for the UK as a whole.
