Have absolutely skiddly diddly squat of an idea who it is going to be.
I mean we are talking Tories here.
Will they vote for a brown man who is going to keep taxes high and essentially lead us back into austerity?
Or a middle of the road white woman who says they will cut tax?

Whoever it is, is going to get mullered by the unions this summer/autumn.
You would have to ask, why does anybody actually want it right now.

.
When you say "brown man" do you mean Asian?
 
So "brown man" is the correct terminology in your opinion?
Yes.
What do you call a black person?
A white person?

I know plenty and i do mean plenty of people who refer to themselves as brown.
Also have a little search to see if calling somebody brown is ok.

So what's your point?
Because the UK census dosent have an official classification of brown, therefore it doesn't exist.
You take all everything the government says, as gospel.
Like I said before. I know a lot who do want to be called brown, and their families want to be called brown. Just because the census dosent have it, it doesn't mean it's not acceptable.
A few years ago, people were not asked what gender they want to go by.

When was the last time somebody said to you, I am any other mixed or multiple ethnic coloured.

I would rather go by the goverment website than some random bloke on the internet.

I've heard that (mixed especially) loads more than I've heard "Brown", and I went to school with a kid whose surname was Brown
