Not a Brit, but man I find this stuff fucking stupid. We’re all fucking humans & that’s all that should matter. Someday there’ll be enough cross-breeding that the only relevant category will be “mutt” - too bad it won’t be in my lifetime.

Whilst that’s true, this is specifically what a census is for - putting things into groups.

Yeah, I know. Humans being what we are, my idealized society is unlikely to ever actually happen. Doesn’t mean I still don’t find it all a bit absurd.

Does your ideal society not have good demographic information about its population available? Why not?
